About Chekpeds

CHEKPEDS (Clinton Hell’s Kitchen Chelsea Coalition for Pedestrian Safety) was founded by residents and community leaders in September 2005 to reclaim 9th Avenue from the hellish Lincoln Tunnel traffic.

The coalition is growing rapidly with businesses, institutions and property owners joining in to correct the dangerous conditions in the neighborhood.

We work directly with elected officials, city agencies, the Port Authority, business associations, BIDs, local institutions, and Manhattan CB 4 to obtain crucial traffic relief and pedestrian safety measures.

CHEKPEDS is a New York State Charity and a 501 (c)(3).
