Comprehensive Waterfront Plan

WAVES - Waterfront Vision and Enhancement Strategy

Public Meetings

The New York City Department of City Planning (DCP) has launched Vision 2020: New York City Comprehensive Waterfront Plan, a year-long process to create a comprehensive plan for the future of the New York City waterfront. Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance (MWA) is at the forefront of this effort to establish how we will protect, develop, enhance and access our waterfront.

Public Workshops

Public input is a key element of Vision 2020. This is a once-in-a-decade opportunity to be involved in the first review of New York’s Comprehensive Waterfront Plan (CWP) since it was introduced in 1992. The project was presented to the public on April 8th by DCP, the first of eight meetings held to gather ideas and comments. DCP has posted the presentation from this meeting on the Vision 2020 website. This spring, DCP hosted five borough-specific meetings to directly address local concerns and issues. At these meetings participants sat and talked directly with city planners. Two additional “Blue Network” meetings rounded out the series, covering harbor-wide issues that affect the whole city. Meeting recap notes have been posted on the public comments page of the Vision 2020 website.

Let your voice be heard
You have a big idea but couldn't get to a meeting. What can you do to be part of the process? DCP has a created an online form to submit comments and questions about Vision 2020. MWA believes no one should be shut out of the planning process and encourages everyone with a suggestion, idea or question about waterfront revitalization to submit it to DCP.
