Chapter 1: Project Description Chapter 1: Project Description A. INTRODUCTION Governors Island Corporation, doing business as The Trust for Governors Island (The Trust), is a not-for-profit corporation and instrumentality of the City of New York. The Trust holds title to 150 acres of Governors Island (the Island), a 172-acre island located in New York Harbor; the remaining 22 acres are owned by the National Park Service and are a National Monument (see Figure 1-1). The Island comprises a northern section and a southern section (see Figure 1-2). The north section of the Island (referred to here as the North Island) is the area north of the former Division Road. The North Island includes, and is co-terminous with, the Governors Island Historic District. The south section of the Island (referred to here as the South Island) is the area south of the former Division Road, which includes an area created by excavation materials from the Lexington Avenue subway construction and more modern buildings. The entire Island is zoned R3-2. Access to the Island is provided by ferries contracted by The Trust from slips at the Battery Maritime Building (BMB) in Lower Manhattan, which is the major access point for ferries traveling to the Island. Additional ferry service from Pier 6 in Brooklyn and Pier 11 in Manhattan is provided by ferries contracted by The Trust and by the East River Ferry, respectively, when the Island is open to the public. Governors Island is currently occupied by several active uses, including the Urban Assembly New York Harbor School, a New York City public high school, which began operation in June 2010. Other uses include artists’ studios, administrative offices, and a temporary open air entertainment facility. From the end of May to the end of September, the Island is open to the public on weekends and holiday Mondays and hosts various arts, cultural, and recreational programs, including food festivals, concerts, and performances. Visitors to the Island can rent bicycles and can also make use of a variety of open spaces and lawns. Redevelopment of the Island was previously analyzed in the Final Generic Environmental Impact Statement for the Phased Redevelopment of Governors Island (2011 FGEIS) issued by the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Economic Development (ODMED) in December 2011. The 2011 FGEIS analyzed potential future development of the Island as follows: Phase 1 (2013), which consisted of the park and open space development that was funded at that time and construction of which is now underway; and the Later Phases (through 2030), which consisted of Later Phases–Park and Public Space development and Later Phases–Island Redevelopment. The Later Phases–Park and Public Space development consisted of proposed open space development established in a Park and Public Space Master Plan (the Park Master Plan) developed by The Trust. The Later Phases–Island Redevelopment consisted of two components: redevelopment of the North Island Historic Structures and development within two areas called 1-1 KING ST. BLEECKER ST. E. 7TH ST.

The bad – the ‘It’s the city of the future. state of the city’s economy – is no surprise, considering the financial troubles of the entire And it’s here right now.’ country. With an unemployment rate mirror- ing the nation’s at just over 10 percent, the hotel occupancy rate down to 88.2 percent (from 92.8 in mid-2008) and countless new construction projects sitting empty or stalled altogether, some may wonder where the bright spots could be. But that’s where you come in, as 2009 brought in a record 47 million visitors, with nearly 10 percent from overseas, putting NYC in the coveted spot of number one tourist destination in the country. And the city is setting even higher goals for tourism in the coming years, ramping up its reach by opening new tourist offices in Toronto, Moscow and Mumbai, and launching new media campaigns in Italy and Germany, all in an attempt to bring in 50 million annual visitors by 2015. Luckily, visitors are drawn to new attractions, and a spate of them – with Harlem’s Dwyer Cultural Center, the renovated El Museo del Barrio of Hispanic art, and parks like the elevated High Line and the Water Taxi Beach on Governor’s Island among them – are here to help the cause. The low crime rate – which dropped to a 40-plus-year low in 2009 – doesn’t hurt, either.

  • Introducing Nyc
    © Lonely Planet INTRODUCING NYC In a New York minute: taxis zoom through bustling Times Square (p143) IZZET KERIBAR New York can be anything you want it to be. It’s why countless people have pinned their dreams on the place, thrown caution to the wind and shown up on its doorstep. And it’s why visitors keep streaming in from all corners of the globe, grasping at their silver- screen visions – and finding them – but discovering plenty more on the way. New York is a city that’s surprising yet malleable, incredibly straightforward yet bafflingly complex. It’s got so many sides and so much to offer that it can be intimidating, even to the most urban-minded of visitors. But approach it with a combination of organization and openness, and you’ll be met with some staggering and unexpected rewards. You could decide you’d like your day to be filled with high culture and trendy eating, for example, and – voila! – you’re working your way through the Museum of Modern Art, then watching the New York City Ballet perform at the Lincoln Center. Or perhaps you like your city to be tougher, and choose to spend an afternoon wandering through the twisting streets of Chinatown and in the edgy art galleries of Williamsburg. Just don’t be too shocked if your day of high culture turns gritty when you come across a gifted jazz singer on the subway platform – or if your bohemian day gets fancy when a trendy boutique seduces you and you’re shelling out for the perfect pair of shoes before you know it.

  • Development Plan for Hunters Point South
    Testimony of Roland Lewis, President and CEO On the Development Plan for Hunters Point South THE METROPOLITAN WATERFRONT ALLIANCE Before the New York City Council Zoning Committee Friday, October 24, 2008 Good afternoon and thank you for the opportunity to submit this written testimony. I am Roland Lewis, president of the Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance, a coalition of over 250 organizations working together to transform the New York Harbor and its waterways into a world class resource for work, play, transit and education. The prospect of developing Hunters Point South presents a unique opportunity for the city of New York to begin focusing on creating easily accessible and inclusive waterfront on the East River. With the passing of Intro no. 809 a few weeks ago, it is clear that the city is ready to take a fresh look at its waterfront spaces with the intent of intelligent planning that will maximize access, maritime use and the health of our harbor. With proper planning, the development of Hunters Point South could prove to be a template for how New York City develops its waterfront localities in the future. The first step towards doing this is looking at access. In the plan being proposed there is limited access to the water for recreation. This space is a great opportunity to expand waterfront access points in the city. Places can be created in the proposed waterfront park where people can actually touch the water and use it for recreation. The Long Island City Boathouse, for example, is looking for a permanent home. This would be a great place for that and similar water-access oriented projects, such as a town dock – a docking facility that would be open to the public.

    Media Contact: The Sherman Group, Stacey Sherman 203 855 1600 [email protected] ANOTHER BEACH TO HIT THE HARBOR THIS SUMMER WATER TAXI BEACH / GOVERNORS ISLAND Brooklyn, NY February 24 – Harbor Experience Companies (HEC), formed after New York Water Taxi acquired Circle Line Downtown, will build on the popularity of its Beach in Long Island City, and create a new Water Taxi Beach on Governors Island this summer. For the residents of lower Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn it will be a beach in their own backyard. Water Taxi Beach/Governors Island will be a laid back, on the waterfront, beach experience of sun, fun, food and music; with tons of sand, beach volleyball, a café and outdoor grill, a stage for live performances and basketball courts. No swimming allowed. The food will focus on sustainability and the Beach will host birthday parties, family celebrations and corporate events. Offering spectacular views of the Brooklyn and Manhattan skylines and the East River Bridges; Water Taxi Beach/Governors Island will be accessible from Lower Manhattan on the Governors Island Ferry departing from the Battery Maritime Building and by New York Water Taxi from Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. Working with the Governors Island Preservation and Education Corporation (GIPEC) HEC will reuse a former parking lot adjacent to the Governors Island Ferry landing at the north end of the Island to create the new beach. Tom Fox President & CEO of Harbor Experience Companies said “Close to home recreation opportunities are increasingly important to the residents of lower Manhattan, and Downtown Brooklyn, and new close to home recreation opportunities are important to the 20 million metro area residents in these tight financial times.” “Governors Island is truly becoming a destination and resource for New Yorkers and others to enjoy,” said GIPEC president Leslie Koch.
