While It is not final until the funds have been voted in Waashington, this is as close as we have ever been to a comprehensive, multi agency rethink of the Lincoln tunnel flows and their effect on our neighborhood. The final funding will be released in April.

In the meantime , the 9th Avenue Renaissance project is gatehreing invaluable information from the community on the various problems and solutions that need to be studied, with a clear end result in mind.
