New York City officials this week opened two ballfields in East River Park and unveiled the new Delancey Street pedestrian bridge, marking a significant milestone for the East Side Coastal Resiliency Project (ESCR). The project is installing a flexible, 2.4-mile-long flood barrier along the Lower East Side from Montgomery Street to Asser Levy Playground between East 23rd and East 25th Streets. Progress continues on the Brooklyn Bridge-Montgomery Coastal Resiliency (BMCR) project—which complements the East Side Coastal Resiliency (ESCR) effort—by creating flood gates along a 0.82-mile stretch of the Lower East Side from Montgomery Street to the Brooklyn Bridge.
