Harlem CDC's Planning Department brought together community experts and professionals to create an environmentally and culturally sustainable plan for converting the underutilized area under the active elevated Metro North Park Avenue viaduct rail line, from 111th to 133rd Streets, into a vibrant permanent outdoor market and public park promenade featuring cultural events, specialty foods, arts and crafts; all produced on-site by local artisans.
This vision combines the latest in environmental “green” planning and architecture coupled with an innovative approach to workforce development that engages the local community in the design, construction and operation of the market. Working closely with elected officials, local community groups, entrepreneurs and the City of New York, we seek to create space for approximately 900 new local businesses and 4,000 career jobs interspersed with cultural programming along the entire La Marqueta Mile.
