1 BOROUGH: Manhattan MAP ID# C4 COUNCIL DISTRICTS: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 COMMUNITY BOARDS: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 NAME OF PLAN: Comprehensive Manhattan Waterfront Plan Community Organization: Manhattan Borough President s Office Address: One Centre St., 19 th Fl., New York, NY Contact Name: Jennifer Hoppa or Wilbert Woods, NYC DCP, Waterfront & Open Space Division Phone Number: / TYPE OF PLAN: Waterfront Revitalization and Access Plan GEOGRAPHIC AREA OF PLAN: Manhattan s waterfront NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN/BACKGROUND: For more than 300 years, commerce and industry dominated Manhattan s waterfront, helping make New York the nation s largest, most economically important and most international city. The great heyday of New York as a port city has long since passed and one unfortunate result has been the shortsighted failure to capitalize on the waterfront s enduring advantages and appeal. More than a dozen City, State and Federal agencies now control various parts of the waterfront. In some cases, several of these agencies have developed worthwhile plans for portions of the waterfront; however, these plans have not been made to fit into a larger vision for the borough. The multiplicity of agencies involved on the waterfront also produces a jurisdictional jumble that contributes to many of the waterfront s current problems: its intermittent disrepair and decay; the unnecessary use of the prime waterfront locations for such eyesores as bus garages and parking lots; the granting of leases to private users that do not sufficiently protect public access to the waterfront; and, most tellingly, the lack of a coordinated effort to exploit the waterfront s rich and varied potential. GOALS OF PLAN: Develop a continuous waterfront esplanade around Manhattan with public access. Redevelopment of the waterfront for water-related commercial, educational, and transportation activities. RECOMMENDATIONS: The following is a sample of site-specific recommendations posited by the plan: Lower Manhattan (Community District 1) - Planning for Battery Park improvements should provide for a clear pedestrian link between the park s esplanade and the newly redesigned Whitehall Ferry Terminal. - If structurally and financially feasible, at least a portion of the Battery Maritime Building should be devoted to public, cultural, and commercial uses that would complement the redevelopment of Piers 9-12 and reconstruction of the ferry terminal.
2 East River Waterfront (Community Districts 3, 6, and 8) - Improve pedestrian access to East River Park as part of the FDR reconstruction. - Implement ISTEA-funded improvement of the 35 th Street Pier to accommodate a ferry landing and public access (ferry services are currently provided at East 34 th Street). - Using private and/or public funding sources, create a waterfront gateway along the Queensboro Bridge corridor by redeveloping spaces on the north side of 59 th Street between Second Avenue and the East 60 th Street Pavilion Park and esplanade. Upper East River/Harlem River Waterfront (Community Districts 11 and 10) - To improve access from East Harlem to Randall s Island recreational facilities - Work toward obtaining construction funds to implement plans for a park and esplanade between 125 th and 142 nd Streets (Harlem Beach). Northern Manhattan Waterfront (Community District 12) - Implement Department of Parks and Recreation access plans for Fort Washington Park as funds become available. - Construct a link between Fort Washington and Riverside Parks. Hudson River Waterfront (Community Districts 9 and 7) - Consider Scenic Landmark designation of the portion of the Riverside Park above 135 th Street. - In planning for the Harlem Piers, recognize their importance as a major catalyst for the economic revitalization of the neighborhood. - Support plans for a bicycle/pedestrian path through Riverside Park. Hudson River Waterfront (Community Districts 4 and 2) - Pier 76, currently excluded from the Hudson River Park, should be included in the park. - The poor condition of the sanitation facility detracts from the overall Greenwich Village waterfront area. DOS should maintain the structure and clean the entrance area on a regular basis. - Any long-term uses proposed for Pier 40 should be water-dependent or water-enhancing. Residential, office and hotel development, mega-stores, and parking do not represent a desirable strategy for generating revenue from the Pier. IDENTIFIED STEPS FOR IMPLEMENTATION: - Change current City leasing and concession policies to generate greater revenue for waterfront improvements while reinforcing a commitment to reopening the waterfront to public access and appropriate water-enhancing and -dependent uses. - Refining the City s new waterfront zoning regulations to strengthen the goal of public access and appropriate use. - Creating a waterfront open space fund similar to the East Rive Esplanade fund to fund the maintenance of new waterfront open space. - Create an enforcement entity to guarantee waterfront improvement completion and availability. - Consider issues of security in areas of waterfront development. PARTNERS: The plan involved hundreds of people, including members of all Manhattan s waterfront Community Boards (1-12), as well as representatives from a broad range of public agencies including the Department of City Planning (DCP), the Economic Development Corporation (EDC), the Department of Parks and Recreation, and the Department of Transportation (DOT), environmental and civic organizations including the 125 th Street Local Development Corporation, Chelsea Waterside Park Association, Citizens for a Hudson River Esplanade, CIVITAS, Environmental Action Coalition, Federation to Preserve the Greenwich Village Waterfront and
3 Great Port, Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation, Neighborhood Open Space Coalition, Parks Council, and Regional Plan Association, and the maritime industries. PARTICIPATORY PROCESS: This plan grew out of the work of the Manhattan Waterfront Task Force, an effort initiated in 1990 by the Manhattan Borough President s office and consisting of representatives of Community Boards, civic organizations and public agencies with waterfront interests. A draft plan was released in February 1992 and circulated widely among local elected officials, businesses, and community groups and the input received was subsequently incorporated in the updated version of the plan. Community boards played an active role in providing information for the plan. OBSTACLES: 1. Long term leases have already been issued for non-water dependent or water-enhancing issues. 2. Finding Sites to relocate city services on the waterfront 3. Securing capital funding to make all waterfront improvements and to make connections to the continuous esplanade throughout Manhattan. These factors along with the multiplicity of agencies involved on the waterfront make it a difficult and long process to execute projects. 4. Maintenance dollars are lacking. TIMELINE INITIAL IDEA: 1990 FORMAL PLAN? Yes DATE SUBMITTED: 1995 SUBMITTED TO: Department of City Planning CITY ACTION? Adopted April 16, 1997 MODIFICATIONS MADE TO PLAN: City Council modified and adopted the 197-a plan as modified by the City Planning Commission. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: 1. Construction is ongoing at Stuyvesant Cove, Harlem Piers, and Hudson River Park. Plan provides a rationale to acquire funding for different projects and serves a defense against certain developments. 2. Bikeway connections are in place between Hudson River Park and Riverside South, with planning underway for connections to East River Park. Fort Washington Park has been linked to Riverside Park and planning for improvements to the bikeway is in progress. 3. The plan provides a rationale to secure funding for various projects and serves as a defense against certain developments. NEIGHBORHOOD/PLAN BACKGROUND The proposal for Stuyvesant Cove has grown out of its unique character and situation. Its natural curved shoreline, a break in the straight linear shoreline to the north and south, presents an opportunity to explore the possibilities of a back-water on the edge of the city, sheltered from the busy commercial district by quite residential communities and medical complexes. GOALS OF PLAN 1. Development of easily accessible public park and open space at the waterfront 2. To encourage water-dependent uses that are compatible with the open space goals of Community Board 6 3. Consistency with planning goals of the Department of City Planning and the Borough President
4 RECOMMENDATIONS The 197-a plan proposes a waterfront park between East 18th and 23rd Streets as part of Stuyvesant Cove, a small bay that extends along the East River waterfront between East 16th Street on the south, East 24th Street on the north and Avenue C on the west. The site contains a gas station, a 515-car parking garage, a 36-slip marina, and surface parking for approximately 428 cars under the FDR Drive and 297 cars along the water's edge. Most of the property is owned by the City and leased for these uses. Based on the goals above, the plan presents a detailed design and programmatic proposal with the following major elements: Develop a 1.9-acre park at the Stuyvesant Cove site. Reconfigure the existing conditions of the site to allow for the most generous waterfront space possible, including the realignment of Marginal Road, either under the FDR Drive's Avenue C viaduct or to the west of it; and the elimination of parking on the pier and along the bulkhead. Enhance the riverbank and build up the "rocky outcrop". Create a pedestrian esplanade and bikeway to extend the length of the park and connect (both north and the south) to the continuous esplanade/bikeway planned for the entire borough. Remove or relocate the service station at the 23rd Street entrance. Create an open plaza entrance to the park at 23rd Street with views to the water. Redesign the existing marina. Moor a lawn barge and a sand or beach barge to the redesigned pier area. Provide suitable plantings throughout the site. Enhance connections and entry points to inboard communities and open a means of egress from Waterside Plaza to the south (to 23rd Street). As opportunities allow, develop economic components to generate revenue to fund the ongoing maintenance of the park. The study proposes: a rooftop restaurant on the Skyport garage building and, possibly, a recreational facility there, continued parking within the Skyport garage (and possibly elsewhere on the site); an ecology center and café, a kayak boathouse with concessionaire. IDENTIFIED STEPS FOR IMPLEMENTATION 1. Develop a reconstruction plan for the waterfront with the State Department of Transportation when it abandons its waterfront staging area used for the FDR Drive reconstruction. 2. Develop northbound FDR Drive exit roadway alternatives along Avenue C, and implement the realigned roadway as an integral part of the Stuyvesant Cove project. 3. Work to develop a Request for Proposal (RFP) proposal with the Economic Development Corporation (EDC) to implement the park construction, including parking alternatives. 4. Recognizing the fiscal constraints faced by the City, CB 6 voted strongly to pursue federal ISTEA funding, and all other sources of private or public funding for park elements that would reduce the amount of commercial development insisted necessary for the financial support to pay for the park. PARTICIPATORY PROCESS Since the 1970s, the residents of Manhattan Community Board 6 have envisioned a park at Stuyvesant Cove. The immediate impetus to prepare plans came as a community response to the now-defunct Riverwalk, a large residential and commercial development proposed for construction on platforms at this East River site. Community and citywide pressure to halt the project resulted in moves to prepare alternative plans that were more acceptable to the community and to the city. Following the withdrawal of the River Walk proposal, Community Board Six took the initiative to form a Stuyvesant Cove Ad Hoc Committee. The committee comprised of only board members, but representatives of groups and interests from the community at large. The committee set about defining the scope of the open space study, which
5 became the subject of an RFP issued by the Board. In designing the project, the requirement for public participation was high among the priorities and the ability to work with the public was one of the criteria used in choosing the consultants, Heintz/Ruddick. The committee held regularly scheduled meetings, all of which were open to the public with notification through the Board's regular channels and beyond. A number of presentations were held while the consultants did their studies. Various design proposals were outlined and public reaction was aired. Through this process of give-and-take, the design elements were refined to those presented in the draft report. The Open Space Study was the subject of a public hearing before the Board on June 9, 1993 and, as always, the public was offered every opportunity to speak and comment on its findings. The Board officially adopted the study on June 16, PARTNERS Manhattan Community Board 6, New York City Economic Development Corporation (EDC), local elected officials OBSTACLES Construction of the park was delayed by Con Ed plans for their plant along the river. TIMELINE INITIAL IDEA 1990 FORMAL PLAN? YES DATE SUBMITTED: 1995 SUBMITTED TO: Department of City Planning CITY ACTION? MODIFICATIONS MADE TO PLAN The original plan called for the inclusion of both an environmental center and a commercial component to cover the security and maintenance expenses of the park. The original proposal for a rooftop restaurant on the Skyport garage building was found to be structurally infeasible. A second proposal to have the restaurant located on the pier was not approved by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC). The final proposal called for the inclusion of a non-profit environmental center that would be held responsible for security and maintenance of the park. This proposal was included in the RFP. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The park is currently under construction and is expected to be completed in the fall of 2001.
6 BOROUGH: Manhattan MAP ID# C3 COUNCIL DISTRICT: 1, 3, 6 COMMUNITY BOARD: 1,2,4 NAME OF PLAN: Hudson River Park Design Guidelines Master Plan Community Organization: Hudson River Park Trust Address: Pier 40, Second Floor, West Houston and West Sts., New York, NY Contact Name: Alex Dudley Phone Number: (917) TYPE OF PLAN: Waterfront Revitalization and Access Plan GEOGRAPHIC AREA OF PLAN: The Hudson River Park project area extends from Battery Place to 59 th Street. It comprises all areas (upland, pier, and water) west of the completed Route 9A out to the pierhead line, with the following exceptions: Battery Park City; Pier 76, the current home of the NYC tow pound; Pier 78, which is privately owned by the New York Waterways ferry operator; Piers 88 and 90, which are the Passenger Ship Piers; and Piers 92 and 94, which are proposed as film and television studios. NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER: The Hudson River waterfront has long been a part of the fabric of New York. Even before the first European contact, the river sustained human settlements. Later, the river became the focus of commerce and a vital link to the world beyond. By 1913, more than half of the U.S. Treasury came from Port of New York duties. Closely tied to the people living in the adjoining neighborhoods, the Hudson River waterfront was vibrant, reflecting the diversity of the city as a whole. That changed as New York s shipping industry on Manhattan s Hudson River waterfront declined in the mid 20 th century, and the piers and shoreline were abandoned. Docks became parking lots; and piers collapsed into the river. But people continued to come by the river waterfront whether for recreational or relaxation purposes. When the elevated highway that ran alongside the river began collapsing in 1973, it was replaced by a temporary grade-level roadway. Plans for the controversial, $2 billion superhighway-landfill proposal called Westway were withdrawn in 1985 after a huge public outcry and an adverse court decision. Plans for a waterfront park began shortly thereafter. GOALS OF PLAN: To establish a design philosophy for the Hudson River Park, and to provide direction for future designers about consistent, overall park components, including entrances, the waterside esplanade, areas for active and passive recreation, planting and lighting. RECOMMENDATIONS: The plan includes numerous recommendations. Below is a selection of these: Ecology: An ecological learning center on Pier 26. HRPT anticipates that this facility will be run by a notfor-profit educational and research institution to be determined at a later stage.
7 Dedication of several ecological piers as an innovative and cost effective way of promoting new and enhanced environments for native plants. These riverine habitats will be created on parts of extremely deteriorated piers that would be prohibitively expensive to repair as public structures. Access to the water: Providing a variety of boating facilities including small boat houses, mooring areas and launches, kayak and canoe launches, town docks and a marina. Key Design Features: Entrances: The Master Plan envisions 10 gateway entrances: at the north and the south ends of the park (Battery Place and 59 th Street), at a midtown ferry landing, and at N. Moore, Christopher, 14 th, 23 rd, 34 th, 42 nd and 55 th Streets. Waterside Esplanade: Included in Hudson River Park are 13 public piers (25, 26, 34, 42, 45, 46, 51, 54, 62, 63, 64, 79, and 97). Once repaired, these piers will again become viable places filled with maritime and recreational activities. Some piers will feature educational, historical, ecological, and sports activities. Others simply offer sweeping views of the river and skyline, offering people a place to relax. Site Structures: Hudson River Park will include small concessions typical of the city s larger parks. These are proposed at major entrances, and could rent sports equipment for use in and around the park, such as roller skates, bicycles, boats, and fishing gear. An Estuarium is proposed for pier 26 (near N. Moore Street) to provide facilities for marine research, education and related activities. Small satellite research and interpretive centers may be located elsewhere in the park. Identified Steps for Implementation: Park design is expected to proceed as follows: A public request for proposals process will identify a team of landscape architects, engineers, designers and other professionals to create detailed drawings and construction documents for each park segment. These segment designs will be guided by the Master Plan and coordinated by HRPT, with input from the communities. Schematic designs for each segment will refine the Master Plan within seven smaller geographical areas specified in the plan. They will include detailed descriptions of the layout, grading, dimensions, surface treatments, plantings, furnishings, architectural features, public pier features, water access features, and all other improvements to be undertaken. The fully detailed drawings will appear at the appropriate scale for translation into construction documents. There will also be specific cost estimates. HRPT will follow standard NYC Department of Parks and Recreation procedures to present schematic plans, and preliminary contract documents to the relevant community board. All comments received will be studied and incorporated as appropriate at all stages of review. PARTNERS: Hudson River Park Trust (HRPT) Empire State Development Corporation Quennell Rothschild Associates/Signe Nielsen, Master Design Consultants PARTICIPATORY PROCESS In 1994, the Hudson River Park Conservancy (HRPC) began the design process through its hired design consultant, Quennell Rothschild Associates/Signe Nielsen. In addition, professional
8 landscape architects were selected by each local Community Board and engaged by HRPC to serve as community liaisons. HRPC s broad-based Community Design Process was inspired by an extensive public outreach program, and included a series of design charrettes, community workshops and meetings (more than 120 gatherings in all), as well as advertisements and mailings to more than 7,500 local residents. After HRPC and the design team released the Concept Plan in 1995, they began working on the Hudson River Park Design Guidelines Master Plan. Their first step involved preparing a series of design alternatives for selected areas, which explored alternatives for basic elements of the park. Between December 2, 1996 and January 14, 1997, HRPC hosted five Design Alternatives Open Houses at its office. Invitations were mailed to the 3,500 groups and individuals on HRPC s mailing list. Conservancy staff was present at each open house to answer questions and discuss drawings. Specific groups were also invited for separately scheduled reviews including federal, state, and city agencies, local Business Improvement Districts, environmental organizations and park advocates, active recreation groups and current site tenants. Eighty individuals completed response forms commenting on specific project features and treatments. HRPC and the design team subsequently incorporated many comments received during the design alternatives phase into the Master Plan. In 1998 Governor Pataki signed the Hudson River Park Act, setting the boundaries for the Park and creating the Hudson River Park Trust to design, build, and operate the five mile, 550 acre park. The design process did not end with the Master Plan, however. Because the design continued to be developed over the years after the plan was completed, and because each segment received individual attention regarding issues specific to each site, public review and input remained a primary focus of HRPT s efforts. OBSTACLES: No major obstacles. TIMELINE INITIAL IDEA: 1986 FORMAL PLAN? Yes DATE SUBMITTED: 1997 SUBMITTED TO: numerous agencies CITY ACTION? Both the State and the City have committed $100 million each to the project. MODIFICATIONS MADE TO PLAN: None yet. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Hudson River Park s first section opened in Greenwich Village in September 1999, and further sections are under construction. The projected date of completion is 2005.
