| Vision 2020: New York City 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.
