WelcomeThe West 102nd & 103rd Streets Block Association is a group of volunteers who work to make our blocks a vibrant, safe, and beautiful community.
We provide an active community full of events including our Halloween parade, Solstice caroling and annual Block Party. The West 102nd & 103rd Streets Block Association welcomes new members who live in our district on the Upper West Side of Manhattan (New York City). That area includes W. 102nd and W. 103rd Streets from Broadway to Riverside Drive and West End Avenue between W. 102nd and W. 103rd Streets.

Remembering Cynthia Doty: Dedications
 Cynthia Doty
We lost Block Association chair Cynthia Doty on July 17, 2023.
She was a neighborhood anchor, looking out for those with less of a voice, adamant about building and sustaining community, and insisting on the importance of civil discourse. Among her last public activities was helping the New York Peace Institute organize a mediation for those in disagreement about the Open Streets issue. This effort remains a poignant testament to her lifelong commitment to community affairs. In remembrance of Cynthia's dedicated service and commitment to her neighbors, in Fall 2024 we dedicated a Riverside Park bench in her honor and West 103rd Street from Riverside Drive to West End Avenue now bears her name.
