Design + Construction Excellence
> July 2007 Progress Report THE CITY OF NEW YORK DESIGN + CONSTRUCTION EXCELLENCE > July 2007 Progress Report THE CITY OF NEW YORK DESIGN + CONSTRUCTION EXCELLENCE INTRODUCTION Design + Construction Excellence project locations DESIGN + CONSTRUCTION EXCELLENCE JULY 2007 PROGRESS REPORT July 2007 Dear Friends: From the grand entrances of our public libraries to the great INTRODUCTION green expanse of our parkland and open spaces, no city is more defined by its urban design than New York. Three years ago, the Art Commission called for a multi-agency effort to change the paradigm of the public building process, and build the landmarks of tomorrow. Today, I am pleased to report that, under the leadership of the Department of Design and Construction, the Design + Construction Excellence (D+CE) initiative has seen its most successful year yet. Since our last report, the initiative has continued to elevate design and construction standards and helped to produce thoughtful, creative projects in every borough. The new Office of Emergency Management headquarters in Brooklyn and the Queens Botanical Garden have achieved top level Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification and stand as vivid examples of what we can accomplish with bold thinking, and a commitment to meeting the biggest challenges of our time. Adopting the spirit of PlaNYC—our vision for a greener, greater New York—the D+CE will continue to ensure that our metropolis remains habitable and hospitable as it continues to grow and evolve. Thank you to everyone involved in the initiative for the support and contributions that remain critical to our success. You continue to help us build a better future for all New Yorkers—the future we all deserve.

Starlight Park Phase 2 Project Receives “Envision Gold Award” for Sustainable Infrastructure
DDC: Ian Michaels, 646-939-6514, [email protected] NYC Parks: Dan Kastanis, 212-360-1311, [email protected] ISI: Dyan Lee, [email protected] Starlight Park Phase 2 Project Receives “Envision Gold Award” for Sustainable Infrastructure (Bronx, NY – February 4, 2021) The NYC Department of Design and Construction (DDC) and NYC Parks announced today that Phase 2 of the project to construct a continuous greenway through Starlight Park in the Bronx has been selected to receive an Envision Gold Award from the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI). The project is being managed by DDC for NYC Parks. A restored section of the Bronx River Greenway in Starlight Park The $41 million, multi-staged project is closing a critical gap in the Bronx River Greenway and linking communities that had been isolated by highways and train lines. The first phase of the project was completed in summer 2020, while the second phase is expected to be completed in summer 2022. Phase 1 of the work, which was managed by the NYS Department of Transportation and opened in 2013, constructed the existing portion of Starlight Park, with a restored shoreline, boat dock, soccer fields, a playground and a 0.6-mile-long portion of the Bronx River Greenway. Phase 2 is constructing a critical greenway link between Starlight Park and Concrete Plant Park. Two pedestrian/bicycle bridges are being built – one crossing Amtrak lines at E. 172 Street and another crossing the Bronx River just north of Westchester Avenue. “DDC is very proud to be part of an effort to not only complete a crucial portion of the Bronx River Greenway, but to also link the Bronx neighborhoods surrounding Starlight Park,” said DDC Commissioner Lorraine Grillo.

A River Runs Through It: Community Access to the Bronx River in Tremont and Hunts Point Matthew Bodnar May 2011 Rivers that run through urban areas are often neglected and forgotten. This is because the primary services that they provide for major cities are transportation and shipping. Many urban waterways have become polluted as a result and fail to reach much of their potential. New York City’s rivers and waterfronts are not typically a place where people seek recreation in the form of swimming or boating, except for a few places such as Coney Island, City Island, and Rockaway Beach. Other waterways that could be assets for their communities are also sometimes overlooked. After living in the Bronx for three years, the only knowledge that I had about the Bronx River was that it ran through the forest in the Botanical Gardens.
