The City’s Comprehensive Waterfront Plan is the framework for the citywide reclamation of the waterfront, guiding land use decisions along New York City’s shoreline. The City will update the plan for the first time in over a decade and is looking for input from the public to help with the process.
Since the Department of City Planning published the City’s first Comprehensive Waterfront Plan in 1992, a lot has changed. This is our opportunity to ensure important improvements continue in ways that balance many important waterfront needs.
The New York City Department of City Planning has committed to extensive public involvement to identify the goals and issues to be addressed by the Plan. After this kick-off meeting on April 8th, borough-specific meetings will be held to identify opportunities for each waterfront neighborhood, so stay tuned.
