This month, there are a couple of opportunities for members of the public to speak out about the East Side Coastal Resiliency Project. The first phase of the massive flood protection plan will create a $335 million barrier alongside East River Park.
Thursday, March 19, the Mayor’s Office of Recovery and Resiliency, the Department of Design & Construction and the Parks Department will be hosting a forum at Bard High School, 525 East Houston St. A second event will be held Monday, March 23 at Washington Irving High School, 40 Irving Place. Both sessions begin at 7 p.m. There will be a presentation followed by Q&A.
The public meetings parallel the work of a community task force helping to guide city planners. You can read more about the task force’s work here and view a presentation from the city regarding East River resiliency below.
