Proposals
Waterfront Revitalization Program
The Department of City Planning is proposing a series of revisions to the Waterfront Revitalization Program (WRP) in order to proactively advance the long-term goals laid out in Vision 2020: The New York City Comprehensive Waterfront Plan, released in 2011. The WRP is the City’s primary coastal zone management tool, and the proposed revisions, currently undergoing public review, emphasize sustainability and climate resilience planning, promote a range of ecological objectives and strategies, facilitate interagency review of permitting to preserve and enhance maritime infrastructure, and support a thriving, sustainable working waterfront.
West Brighton Brownfield Opportunity Area (BOA)
The NYC Department of City Planning (DCP) is partnering with the West Brighton Local Development Corporation (WBLDC) to work with the community and stakeholders through the summer of 2014 to craft a strategic plan for the West Brighton area with the goals of improving public access to waterfront and upland open space, supporting new and existing maritime industrial uses, expanding retail and community services and providing a safe, multi modal transportation network along Richmond Terrace. The planning process will consist of evaluating existing conditions -- such as land use, zoning, transportation, infrastructure, socioeconomics, market conditions and retail trends -- and result in a proposed zoning and infrastructure framework to support these long-term goals for Staten Island’s North Shore.
Port Richmond Brownfield Opportunity Area (BOA)
Following up on the North Shore 2030 Report recommendations, DCP partnered with Northfield Community LDC to work with the community and stakeholders through the spring of 2013 to craft a strategic plan for the Port Richmond area with the goals of supporting new retail services and jobs, strengthening the working waterfront, and providing needed amenities including open space and waterfront access. The planning process will consist of evaluating existing conditions and result in a proposed zoning and infrastructure framework to support these long-term goals for Staten Island’s North Shore.
Staten Island North Shore - Land Use & Transportation Study
This study was initiated at the recommendation of the Mayor’s Growth Management Task Force as part of the city’s continuing efforts to preserve neighborhood character while balancing the needs of this important maritime hub.
Staten Island West Shore - Land Use & Transportation Study
This study will identify ways to coordinate transportation and land use while supporting existing businesses, preserving open space & natural features, and improving access to waterfront & recreation.
Vision 2020: The NYC Comprehensive Waterfront Plan
Released on March 14, 2011, Vision 2020 is the culmination of a year-long, participatory planning process involving multiple agencies and organizations and input from New Yorkers in every borough. Building on the City's success in opening up to the public miles of shoreline that had been inaccessible for decades, and supporting expansion of the maritime industry, Vision 2020 sets the stage for expanded use of our waterfront for parks, housing and economic development, and our waterways for transportation, recreation and natural habitats. The 10-year plan lays out a vision for the future with new citywide policies and site-specific recommendations.
Fresh Kills Park
Information on the master planning process led by the Department of City Planning to turn the now-closed Fresh Kills Landfill on Staten Island into a world class park. The resulting Draft Master Plan will guide the site's implementation by the Department of Parks & Recreation over the next thirty years.
