MANHATTAN: Locals Rally to Halt $220M Plan They Say Will Ruin Popular Waterfront Park

BATTERY PARK CITY (MANHATTAN _ NYC) NY: Wagner Park is also a daily space for local children and students attending at least two nearby schools.

The Battery Park City Authority (BPCA) is planning on stating the resiliency project come September, which the agency said is designed to provide urgently needed flood risk reduction for that vulnerable section of Manhattan.

Concerned residents also sent letters and signed a petition. causing, the BPCA announced a new proposal that they said would add more trees and increase lawn area for the project by almost 13,000 square feet.

But park users are still not satisfied.

Construction on the park is still expected to start after Labor Day in September.

The park could be closed for up to two years.
