A new pedestrian plaza is being planned for 10th Avenue between 48th and 49th Streets, and Maimonides Health is inviting Boro Park residents to help shape what it will look like and how it will work.

The proposed plaza would convert part of the street space into a pedestrian-focused area designed for safer walking, easier access, and more usable public space near the hospital corridor. 

To gather community input, Maimonides Health, together with engineering firm TYLin and the NYC Department of Transportation, will host a public open house next Tuesday, Feb 10, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM in the main lobby of Maimonides Medical Center at 4802 10th Avenue. Attendees can drop in at any time during those hours, review design concepts, and speak directly with project staff.

Neighbors, local business owners, and community members are encouraged to attend and share feedback before plans move forward. No RSVP is needed.

Questions can be directed to the Maimonides Health Community Relations Department at (718) 283-7412.
