SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Proposed Action would improve a two
mile portion of the East River waterfront
in Manhattan and create a City-owned
public open space. The area of the
Proposed Action would generally

Franklin Delano Roosevelt Drive and
South Street extending from the
Whitehall Ferry Terminal and Peter
Minuit Plaza on the South to East River
Park on the North, as well as Pier 15, the
New Market Building pier, Pier 35, Pier
36, and Pier 42. Approximately
$139,500,000 of HUD funds will be
allocated for the Proposed Action.
The DEIS analyzes the Proposed
Action’s potential impacts on Land Use,
Zoning, and Public Policy;
Socioeconomic Conditions; Open Space;
Shadows; Historic Resources; Urban
Design and Visual Resources;
Neighborhood Character; Natural
Resources and Floodplain Impacts;
Hazardous Materials; Waterfront
Revitalization; Infrastructure, Solid
Waste and Energy; Traffic and
Transportation; Air Quality; Noise;
Construction Impacts; and
Environmental Justice. The DEIS
considers a reasonable range of
alternatives including a no action
alternative, esplanade development
alternatives, Battery Maritime Building
plaza alternatives, an alternative
without the BMB plaza and the Pier 42
beach, alternative in-water
configurations south of Pier 15, and an
alternative retaining a portion of the
automobile parking beneath the FDR
Drive.
