Re: Pier 57

Dear President Wils, Mr. Floyd and Vice President Pinsky,

Thank you for your presentation of the final redesign of Pier 57 to the Waterfront, Parks & Environment Committee (the “Committee”) of Community Board 4 (“MCB4”) on July 12, 2018.

As the final plan was essentially the same plan that was presented to, and approved by, the Committee in March of this year, the Committee continues its support of the redesign plan.

At its Full Board meeting on July 25, 2018, MCB4 ratified the Committee’s support with 29 in favor, 0 against, 0 abstaining, and 0 present but not eligible to vote.

Additionally, as we discussed, we would appreciate further updates as the plans for the water taxi at Pier 57 develop, as the Committee has some very strong feelings about what is appropriate at that site.

The Committee would also like RXR and Google to explore the idea of adding a public information kiosk to the pier, to provide information both about Hudson River Park and other events in the local community, including Community Board 4 meetings. We would appreciate you looking into the feasibility of such a kiosk and letting us know.

Sincerely,

Burt Lazarin Maarten de Kadt Lowell K ern Chair Co-Chair Co-Chair Manhattan Community Waterfront, Parks & Waterfront, Parks & Board 4 Environment Committee Environment Committee
