In response to recent and anticipated development activity in Harlem, the Department of City Planning has initiated the 125th Street/River-to-River Study to generate a development framework for the entire 125th Street corridor between the Harlem and Hudson Rivers. 125th Street, alternatively known as Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard, boasts a unique character and many distinct assets upon which to build. It offers a multitude of cultural, religious and institutional resources, many of which have historic importance for the Harlem community. It is well-served by public transportation, providing both local and regional service. And the recent reactivation of the Hudson and Harlem River waterfronts highlights the corridor's potential for additional amenities. This is a pivotal time for leveraging the public and private investments and initiatives to continue the rejuvenation of Harlem's "Main Street�.
The study's Advisory Committee � a diverse group of over 100 individuals representing elected officials, developers, local civic groups and cultural institutions, and community boards 9,10 and 11 � met initially in December 2003. In response to the broad range of concerns expressed by participants about the future of 125th Street, Deputy Mayor Daniel L. Doctoroff formed the 125th Street/River-to-River Interagency Working Group. In addition to City Planning (DCP), the team consists of representatives from the Economic Development Corporation (EDC), and several other city agencies including the Departments of Cultural Affairs, Transportation, Small Business Services, and Housing Preservation and Development. The team will work together with the Advisory Committee to identify solutions for issues raised during the planning process.
Because public outreach and involvement are critical to the study, a series of meetings with the Advisory Committee and the general public has begun and will continue during the course of the study. The objective is to have a meaningful dialogue with the people who will be most affected by the changes and opportunities ahead for 125th Street, its development, transportation, culture, environment, urban design and waterfront. On April 28th, 2004, our second Advisory Committee meeting, that dialogue began. Ultimately, the planning process will generate a comprehensive development framework for 125th Street.
