New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio
NEW YORK CITY—The de Blasio administration announced on Friday a revised East Side Coastal Resiliency Project plan that would not only raise the entire East River Park, but would increase the cost of the project by approximately $690 million.
City officials said the updated design would expedite construction of the resiliency project that would now begin in the spring of 2020. The project would enable flood protection to be implemented nearly one year earlier, and the entire project is expected to be completed six months earlier than the original design.
