  • Chapter 3: Description of Construction Methods and Activities A. INTRODUCTION
    Chapter 3: Description of Construction Methods and Activities A. INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the construction process for the Second Avenue Subway. Potential envi- ronmental impacts that could result from its construction, as well as mitigation measures to lessen their effects, are discussed in subsequent technical chapters. A preliminary sequencing plan for the proposed construction activities is also identified, although this plan could still change as engineering evolves and depending on the availability of funding. At this time, design of the Second Avenue Subway is still ongoing, and will continue to evolve over the next year. Consequently, this Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) assesses the range of construction methods and activities that may be required, using a reasonable worst case approach throughout to describe potential impacts. In other words, where a variety of construction techniques could reasonably be used to build a particular project element, the method that would result in the worst overall impacts is the one that has been selected for analysis. The Second Avenue Subway would consist largely of twin tunnels with outside diameters of up to 23½ feet. (The tunnels described in the SDEIS would have had outside diameters of 21 feet.) Each tunnel would be approximately 8.5 miles long, running from East Harlem to Lower Manhattan. Sixteen new stations, numerous fan plants and ventilation cooling facilities, pumping stations, electrical power substations, new train storage yards, and various other elements would also be built. As described later in this chapter, where possible, construction would take place underground to minimize disruptions at the surface. Between approximately 92nd and 4th Streets (instead of 6th Street as described in the SDEIS), and again from Maiden Lane south, where Manhattan’s hard bedrock is relatively close to the surface, tunnels and stations would mostly be constructed underground in the rock, by one of several mining techniques.

  • Portnyc Developing the City's Freight and Passenger Infrastructure To
    New York Harbor is the third-largest port in the United States and the largest port complex on the Atlantic Coast. New York City Economic Development Corporation’s PortNYC develops the City’s freight and passenger transportation infrastructure to strengthen the region’s economic growth. PortNYC facilities include marine cargo terminals, rail facilities, cruise terminals, ferry landings, active maritime piers, vessel berthing opportunities, and aviation facilities within New York City’s five boroughs. Marine Cargo Terminals New York City’s ports are America’s gateway to the largest and wealthiest consumer market in the United States. PortNYC supports the local economy by enabling firms to bring goods to market by vessel, one of the most efficient modes of freight transportation. Approximately 400,000 containers move through New York City’s seaports annually, and recent infrastructure upgrades to the city’s marine cargo terminals will allow more than a million tons of cargo to arrive by water instead of truck. The City promotes and incentivizes the maritime industry by maintaining and leasing these facilities and designating them Significant Maritime and Industrial Areas. CARGO FACILITIES • Global Container Terminal—New York (containers, break-bulk, and ro-ro), Staten Island • Red Hook Container Terminal (containers, break-bulk, and ro-ro), Brooklyn • South Brooklyn Marine Terminal (break-bulk, ro-ro, and project cargoes), Brooklyn Global Container Terminal on Staten Island is • 25th Street Freight Pier (aggregate), Brooklyn the city’s largest deep-sea marine facility. New York City is a maritime hub for support services hosting tugs, barges, and major ship repair facilities. NYC recently invested $115 million to reactivate marine and rail cargo facilities on the South Brooklyn waterfront.

  • July 8 Grants Press Release
    CITY PARKS FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES 109 GRANTS THROUGH NYC GREEN RELIEF & RECOVERY FUND AND GREEN / ARTS LIVE NYC GRANT APPLICATION NOW OPEN FOR PARK VOLUNTEER GROUPS Funding Awarded For Maintenance and Stewardship of Parks by Nonprofit Organizations and For Free Live Performances in Parks, Plazas, and Gardens Across NYC July 8, 2021 - NEW YORK, NY - City Parks Foundation announced today the selection of 109 grants through two competitive funding opportunities - the NYC Green Relief & Recovery Fund and GREEN / ARTS LIVE NYC. More than ever before, New Yorkers have come to rely on parks and open spaces, the most fundamentally democratic and accessible of public resources. Parks are critical to our city’s recovery and reopening – offering fresh air, recreation, and creativity - and a crucial part of New York’s equitable economic recovery and environmental resilience. These grant programs will help to support artists in hosting free, public performances and programs in parks, plazas, and gardens across NYC, along with the nonprofit organizations that help maintain many of our city’s open spaces. Both grant programs are administered by City Parks Foundation. The NYC Green Relief & Recovery Fund will award nearly $2M via 64 grants to NYC-based small and medium-sized nonprofit organizations. Grants will help to support basic maintenance and operations within heavily-used parks and open spaces during a busy summer and fall with the city’s reopening. Notable projects supported by this fund include the Harlem Youth Gardener Program founded during summer 2020 through a collaboration between Friends of Morningside Park Inc., Friends of St. Nicholas Park, Marcus Garvey Park Alliance, & Jackie Robinson Park Conservancy to engage neighborhood youth ages 14-19 in paid horticulture along with the Bronx River Alliance’s EELS Youth Internship Program and Volunteer Program to invite thousands of Bronxites to participate in stewardship of the parks lining the river banks.
