NYC Vision 2020 Waterfront Planning Meeting Thursday April 8 - Help Plan The The Future Waterfront & Make Roosevelt Island's Voice Heard
As we are all aware, Roosevelt Island is located between Manhattan and Queens, surrounded by water, in the East River. If you are interested in learning about and helping to plan the future of New York City's waterfront, including Roosevelt Island, this message from the Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance is for you.
Help Plan the City’s WaterfrontHere's an excerpt from MWA's excellent City of Water Documentary
The Department of City Planning is currently preparing Vision 2020: The NYC Comprehensive Waterfront Plan, and we want your help. This plan will establish the city’s long range vision for a 21st Century waterfront, identifying opportunities for improvement and the strategies needed to realize this new vision. Visit our website, www.nyc.gov/waterfront, for plan updates, workshop announcements and to share your ideas and comments with us.
A kick-off citywide public meeting to discuss the process and solicit feedback will be held on:
APRIL 8, 2010
6:00 PM - 8:30 PM
MURRY BERGTRAUM HIGH SCHOOL
411 PEARL STREET

It's important that Roosevelt Island residents participate in this process and get involved because so often waterfront advocates and decision makers are unaware of our issues so they do not get addressed.

1)Very interesting to read about the plans they make in Manhattan with respect to parking.How did RIOC circumvent this kind of studies ?
2)FDR might be better served by locating his memorial in BBP or on Governor's Island which may "steal the thunder" from Roosevelt Island.
3)Roosevelt Island's main attract-ions are:
the tram,
the views of Manhattan
from the promenade,and
remaining green areas
Governors Island and Brooklyn Bridge Park officials have no interest in Kahn's design for FDR Memorial. They won't have their waterfront views and parks lessened by it.
Not sure what you mean by Manhattan parking plans?
To ROOSEVELT ISLANDER
1)I was too indirect.
I would love to get rid of the memorial and keep the memorial
2) I referred to Hudson Yards.
It is not directly comparable but at least they plan future parking requirements ahead not in arrears
My previous comment should read
I would love to get rid of the memorial to keep the park
