14 blocks of public space, ideal for distancing on foot, by bicycle, skateboard, etc. Running from Houston Street to the East River, it's all contiguous (except the block just north of Delancey). Every block is different - some have recent plantings, seating and paths, others are in 'original condition'.  Special recognition is due to Juston Ladda, the social practice artist who tends the first section below Delancey Street! When will the old bathhouse reopen with a new purpose? Bike lanes on both sides make taking Allen Mall a quick trip!

This Village street will become even more village-like in late 2021, as it will soon become a permanent open street, where cars are guests and slow down for people. Check out a 2019 plan for more details. Already car-free on the north end, this street brings historic buildings, college students and local residents together.
