Sunset Park residents said they wanted an area for food vendors, and canoe and kayak launching pads, to be part of\u00a0the city’s\u00a0redesign<\/a>\u00a0of Pier 6 at Bush Terminal, an area that has been inaccessible for decades.<\/p>\n

The project is headed by the\u00a0New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC)<\/a>, the agency responsible in developing the\u00a0Made in NY Campus<\/a>\u00a0at Bush Terminal\u00a0into a manufacturing, film and TV hub that is expected to\u00a0open later this year and add more than 2,000 jobs.<\/p>\n

Nearby\u00a0Bush Terminal Park<\/a>\u00a0was redeveloped in the past few years, which includes a baseball field and soccer pitch, as well as walking paths.<\/p>\n

The five-acre pier, which has views of the Statue of Liberty, will be turned into a public park with walkways and an industrial forest. The budget for the project is approximately $25 million and the design and engineering will be handled by\u00a0Arcadis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

NYCEDC says the design is around 30% finalized, with the final design slated for fall of 2024. The agency\u00a0estimates that with construction beginning early next year, the park should be open by summer of 2026.<\/p>\n

At a recent town hall meeting about the project, following one in February, residents suggested\u00a0the park include\u00a0a place for local food vendors to set up, signage about the pier\u2019s history, and a boat ramp for canoes and kayaks.<\/p>\n

Residents at the meeting welcomed\u00a0the creation of the park, but expressed concerns about its safety and upkeep.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe park is going to be open 24\/7, so we just want to make sure that it’s safe for anybody to walk down,\u201d said Damaris Santiago, a longtime resident of Sunset Park. \u201cWe want to make sure that not only is it beautiful, but it’s safe for us to actually use it at any time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The land on Pier 6 has been vacant since the 1980s when a warehouse on the pier burned down. Since then, it has become neglected and overgrown with plants and debris. Today, the lot is only used for construction staging and parking.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to design a pier that is going to be an important and useful amenity to the community. So, something that’s going to provide space for recreation, for hanging out, and enjoying the beautiful views of Manhattan,\u201d said Christine Paglialunga, the executive director of Sunset Park\u00a0at\u00a0NYCEDC.\u00a0<\/b>\u201cThere’s also a lot of vegetation that has just kind of naturally occurred on the pier and we’re trying to retain as much of that as we can.\u201d<\/p>\n

The agency said it is working on a sustainable redesign of the pier, which will include elements found on the lot.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s a lot of items that are on the site itself that we’re going to incorporate either into restabilizing it, or for aesthetic elements,\u201d said Waverly Neer, vice president of asset management at NYCEDC. \u201cReusing those old historic remnants is really important.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over the past several years, the city has been putting much effort into revitalizing the Brooklyn waterfront. Further south, the city on Monday\u00a0started<\/a>\u00a0construction on an offshore wind port hub\u00a0in\u00a0South Brooklyn Marine Terminal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
