ABOUT US
WELCOME TO THE WEST 50s NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION
Greetings Neighbors!
The West 50s Neighborhood Association started out as a small block association, but neighbor support helped us grow over the years. We are still growing and invite anyone interested in having a little control in the neighborhood to come join us!

Our Mission
Greetings Neighbors!
These are strange days indeed, but with common sense, and simple human decency, we will make it through this together, hopefully with a greater awareness of why we choose to live in the City in the first place.
The Neighborhood Association was founded in 2006 to address local concerns of the block on 54th street. These problems concerned Museum construction and Library use, but later grew to accommodate problems that concern all neighborhoods. As the Association grew, so did our boundaries...we now serve from the Northside of 54th Street, to the Southside of 59th from the West-side of 5th Ave to the Eastside of 8th ave.
We try to serve all the quality of life concerns that pop up in such a vibrant community, and while all politics is local, we are a fiercely independent organization.
Some of our major concerns are traffic, rogue bicyclists, garbage, noise, pollution and over development,
but we are always open to concerns of our neighbors!
Our ability to serve is, unfortunately, directly connected to the amount of money we can raise, and more about that later...
