NOTICE
On Wednesday, July 31, 2019, at 10:00 a.m., in the Concourse Level at 120 Broadway, a public hearing is being held by the City Planning Commission to receive comments related to a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) concerning an application by New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks), as Lead Agency under SEQRA/CEQR, together with New York City Office of Management and Budget (OMB), as Lead Agency under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), for approval of discretionary actions including a zoning text amendment and acquisition of property, to implement a reliable coastal flood protection system and to improve open spaces and enhance access to the waterfront in Manhattan Community Districts 3 and 6.
The proposed project area begins at Montgomery Street to the south and extends north to East 25th Street and is composed of two sub-areas: Project Area One and Project Area Two. Project Area One extends from Montgomery Street to the north end of John V. Lindsay East River Park (East River Park) at about East 13th Street. Project Area One is approximately 61 acres and consists primarily of East River Park, the Franklin Delano Roosevelt East River Drive (the FDR Drive) right-of-way, a portion of Pier 42, Corlears Hook Park. Project Area Two is approximately 21 acres and extends north and east from Project Area One, from East 13th Street to East 25th Street. In addition to the FDR Drive right-of-way, Project Area Two includes the Consolidated Edison Company of New York (Con Edison) East 13th Street Substation and the East River Generating Station, Murphy Brothers Playground, Stuyvesant Cove Park, Asser Levy Recreational Center and Playground, and several in-street segments. The DEIS analyzes several project alternatives. Alternative 4, the Flood Protection System with a Raised East River Park Alternative (Preferred Alternative) best meets the principal objectives for the project and therefore was selected as the Preferred Alternative. The Preferred Alternative would raise the majority of East River Park and would limit the length of exposed wall between the community and the waterfront in Project Area One to provide for enhanced neighborhood connectivity. In addition, three pedestrian bridges would be reconstructed and two embayments would be relocated to improve access and enhance the park user experience. Furthermore, Stuyvesant Cove Park, Murphy Brothers Playground, and Asser Levy Playground would be reconstructed and improved. The Preferred Alternative includes the construction of a shared-use flyover bridge linking East River Park and Captain Patrick J. Brown Walk. This bridge will address a long-standing circulation deficiency along the East River Greenway and would substantially improve the City’s greenway network. The selection of this alternative allows for the shortest construction duration and park closure, earlier deployment of the flood protection system (expected to be completed mid-2023), and reduced construction disruption along the FDR Drive. The proposed project triggers three land use actions, subject to the City’s Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP), for the acquisition of real property by the City in the form of easements, a zoning text amendment to exempt a segment of the proposed project from the requirements of the City’s waterfront zoning regulations, and a future City Map change. The City Map change action would be needed for the reconstruction of the pedestrian bridges and would be carried through at a later date once final design and implementation are completed to record grade and treatment line adjustments, if needed.
Written comments on the DEIS are requested and will be received and considered by NYC Parks and OMB, the Lead Agencies, until Thursday, August 15, 2019, at 5:00 p.m.
This hearing is being held pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA), and City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR), CEQR No. 15DPR013M.
