Hudson Park & Boulevard, running diagonally from 33rd to 39th streets between Tenth and Eleventh avenues, is underway, and the first three blocks will deliver by the end of the year, but what will it look like? Moinian’s Oskar Brecher (snapped on site) tells us the park and Hudson Bouelvard will be like Park Avenue but with wider green space and narrower roadways. A pedestrian walkway also will span Lincoln Tunnel traffic and empty onto 42nd. Related’s 1 Hudson Blvd, between 33rd and 34th, and Moinian’s 3 Hudson Blvd, between 34th and 35th, are the only two buildings that will sit directly on the park (to its west), as the boulevard’s south-bound lanes stop at 35th. (North-bound lanes run on the east side of the park, starting at 33rd.) Both blocks also have subway exits for the 7 train, expected to be running there full time by the middle of this year.

3 Hudson Blvd will offer retail and a restaurant opening onto the park's fountains, benches, moveable tables and chairs, and potential performance and event space and bleacher seating. Oskar tells us the park program from 35th to 36th will include a playground and a cafe, and these first three blocks will deliver by the end of 2014. The City is now acquiring the land for and designing the fourth block from 36th to 37th streets, he says, and the remaining two blocks—37th to 39th—have been conceptualized, though the City has not acquired the land.
