"The 34th Avenue Open Street, known as Paseo Park, emerged as a lifeline during the pandemic and is set to become a permanent fixture after over five years of success."
"The Alliance for Paseo Park has worked with WXY to develop plans for a 1.3-mile park incorporating recreational areas, seating, and multiuse playspaces to serve the community."
"In 2022, New York Mayor Eric Adams's administration committed $89 million to permanently develop the 34th Avenue Open Street, making it a potential model for urban spaces."
"'This is a big opportunity to really think ambitiously about how to provide more significant public space,' says Rob Daurio of WXY."
The 34th Avenue Open Street in Jackson Heights evolved in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, providing a crucial space for outdoor recreation. It is set to become Paseo Park, with new designs from the Alliance for Paseo Park and WXY, covering a 1.3-mile area. The park will include various recreational facilities, landscaping, and pathways for both pedestrians and cyclists. With $89 million in city funding, this initiative serves as a potential model for transforming urban streets into vibrant community spaces.
