Those park plans are really cool. I grew up on the Mississippi River and spent my entire childhood at the various riverfront parks. I've always felt New York needs more of those. I didn't get a chance to get to get to Promenade Park, the view of which looks to be much improved, so I don't have a real good feel for the area. Next time I visit my Brooklyn friends, I will definitely walk through that park.
A couple questions. Both this photo and the render show the same view.
The BQE is noticeably absent in the render. Will that landscaped hill with trees actually be built, hiding the highway? That's amazing if true.
Does the BQE become a tunnel then? And will there be access from the upper Promenade down to the waterfront down that hill? It also looks like parkinglots have disapeared, which is good.
Another question, what is the structure between New Dock and Old Dock streets just north of the bridge? It doesn't really look like much, and looks like that lot would really add to the park space there, but it's not part of the plans.
