New York City is actively revitalizing Staten Island's North Shore with the development of the Tompkinsville Esplanade, a half-mile waterfront space that connects crucial transit points. It forms part of the city's $400 million North Shore Action Plan, which aims to enhance public access to the waterfront, create new housing, and stimulate economic growth with the potential for 7,500 jobs. The esplanade construction involves extensive improvements including public green spaces and recreational opportunities, reflecting a vision akin to renowned waterfront parks in NYC.
"This is part of a big project that's part of an even bigger project and strategy. At the heart of that strategy is that the North Shore of Staten Island should have a public esplanade with green space, with waterfront access, on par with Hudson River Park or Brooklyn Bridge Park or other great waterfront communities."
"The Esplanade is a part of a broader vision to reclaim and revitalize the waterfront. It's turning this previously inaccessible shoreline into a space for community recreation and mobility."
