ETAs on Some of Brooklyn’s Waterfront Projects

As covered by The Post, the Wall Street Journal, Curbed and The Eagle, yesterday the city released “Vision 2020: New York City Comprehensive Waterfront Plan,” a 10-year plan for the city’s shorelines. While there’s little that’s newsy in the way of planned projects, an “Action Agenda” released with the plan [PDF here] is of interest in terms of providing time hooks on some Brooklyn stuff that’s already in the works. Here are some of them:

Brooklyn Bridge Park: The city is looking to have improvements to “the Squibb Park pedestrian bridge, upland recreation areas between Piers 1-6, and active recreation areas on Pier 5″ done by 2013.

Coney Island: The “new 2.2-acre Steeplechase Plaza, including performance space, public art, water features, and retail” is supposed to be finished by 2012 and a study “to determine feasibility of ferry service” is supposed to be done this year.

Dumbo: Jane’s Carousel in Empire Fulton Ferry Park is supposed to be good to go sometime this year.

The Brooklyn Greenway: The Columbia Street path is supposed to be fully linked to Dumbo before 2012 is out, and the Red Hook section is supposed to be done this year.

Greenpoint: Transmitter Park is supposed to be finished in 2012.

Sunset Park: The 22-acre Bush Terminal Piers Park, part of the city’s Sunset Park Vision Plan, is set to be completed next year.

Navy Yard: Construction of a “Green Manufacturing Center” is supposed to start by 2013; way back when, this facility was supposed to be done by this year.

Williamsburg: The city anticipates that development on the New Domino will “commence” by 2013.
