Department of City Planning (DCP) Director Anita Laremont announced on Sunday the release of the Comprehensive Waterfront Plan, a document that puts forth a broad, 10-year vision for New York City’s 520 miles of waterfront and potential strategies to provide more equitable access to all the waterfront has to offer — such as parks, jobs, and affordable and resilient places to live.
“The waterfront is one of New York City’s most valuable assets. With this latest edition of the Comprehensive Waterfront Plan, we’re looking to the next decade of challenges and opportunities on and along the water. From climate justice to well-paying jobs, ferries to parks, this plan looks at how we can further transform our shorelines and waterways to become even more accessible, resilient, and vibrant. This important document provides a road map for tackling the challenges along our waterfront,” said DCP Director Anita Laremont.
