  • Union Square Partnership’s Annual Report Has Arrived

    To get a sense of the pulse of the neighborhood, check out the USP’s ANNUAL REPORT. It’s full of interesting plans and action items, such as:

    Public Space Activations: This summer, USP is rolling
    out new seating areas, enhanced landscaping, the
    second annual mural along the 14th Street Busway,
    and hosting an Oonee Pod Mini, a prototype for safe
    bike storage.

    Park Upgrades: In partnership with NYC Parks, USP
    will develop a Union Square Park infrastructure
    plan that includes upgraded utilities, irrigation, and
    bathrooms amenities, as well as a preservation plan
    of the entire district’s tree canopy.

    Since January 2021, 46 new businesses have opened in and around Union Square.
