Chinatown Partnership identified seven key Chinatown portals through collaborative public engagement over the last decade. Each portal has its own physical characteristics and uses, and is influenced by the communities it joins and populations it brings into Chinatown. Together, these seven “gateways” make up an important network of public spaces, transportation connections, and thresholds between neighborhoods. The Canal Street Triangle was identified through collaborative public engagement as the most central location and is the first of these portals to be planned and activated.

Below are resources compiled by NYC DOT  to help those interested in learning more about the site and larger network. Information includes a map of the gateway sites, a base plan for the Canal Street Triangle, and images of the seven gateway sites and neighborhoods.
