This alternative would also achieve the flood protection objectives of the Proposed Action, but would provide additional park amenities and neighborhood connections including a meandering bikeway and walkway, redesign of several pedestrian bridges, and more extensive landscaped features in East River Park. It would also include the reconstruction of Stuyvesant Cove Park. Key elements of this alternative include enhancing the pedestrian bridges at Delancey, East 6th, and East 10th Streets. Alternatives will continue to be developed and refined during the EIS scoping process with input and consultation from local, state, and federal agencies that are either involved, interested, or cooperating in this environmental review process. These agencies include, but are not limited to, the New York City Departments of Transportation and Environmental Protection, the New York State Departments of Transportation and Environmental Conservation, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers along with input provided by non-agency stakeholders and the general public. It is expected that each of the alternatives selected for analysis in the Draft EIS will include the essential flood protection measures described above, in differing configurations, and with alternative approaches to upland drainage, providing park enhancements and neighborhood connectivity. Each alternative will also incorporate approaches for managing upland drainage, including infrastructure improvements that would address combined sanitary and stormwater drainage and maintain sewer system operations during a storm event. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Elements Common to Proposed Action Alternatives Each of the Proposed Action alternatives would also require water main, sewer, and utility relocations and drainage improvements, an operations and maintenance plan, utility and lighting plans, connections to other flood protection structures (e.g., the protection systems at the Con Edison East River Generating Facility and the United States Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center on East 23rd Street), and the repair and replacement of parkland and streets affected by construction. Construction activities may also require improvements to waterfront structures, temporary mooring facilities, and limited dredging along the East River to provide barge access during construction.
