Designers Float Six Ways to Reinvent the Coastline

News Wrap: $1.3B in N.J. Water Work Ok'd; MWBEs Transport Work Up; Data Center Planned (& More) — Ring of Protection: A series of berms and flip-down flood barriers aim to help fortify a 10-mile, U-shaped ribbon of lower Manhattan against storms. The project would also include a 'reverse aquarium' in Battery Park.

News Wrap: $1.3B in N.J. Water Work Ok'd; MWBEs Transport Work Up; Data Center Planned (& More) — Protecting the Hub: The 1-sq-mile Hunts Point peninsula is a low-lying food supply hub. This project, which includes the planting of native species such as eelgrass, will protect the existing wholesale food markets by constructing concrete levees made of locally sourced panels.

News Wrap: $1.3B in N.J. Water Work Ok'd; MWBEs Transport Work Up; Data Center Planned (& More) — Wetlands Revisited: The focus of this plan is to redefine the 30-sq-mile section of this vast, marshy swath of land by restoring some of the wetlands and creating a public wildlife refuge that would be surrounded by a berm to keep floodwaters at bay.

News Wrap: $1.3B in N.J. Water Work Ok'd; MWBEs Transport Work Up; Data Center Planned (& More) — Reef Street: This project calls for building a string of concrete breakwaters off the coast of Tottenville, a hard-hit neighborhood on Staten Island's south shore, to buffer against wave damage, flooding and erosion. It includes a 'reef street,' micropockets of habitat for marine life.

News Wrap: $1.3B in N.J. Water Work Ok'd; MWBEs Transport Work Up; Data Center Planned (& More) — Pumped Up: With the Hoboken waterfront prone to severe flooding, this plan calls for a system of pumps to collect water that would otherwise overwhelm sewers and pipe it away from streets.

News Wrap: $1.3B in N.J. Water Work Ok'd; MWBEs Transport Work Up; Data Center Planned (& More) — Current Event: Focusing on improving the corridor around the Mill River, the first phase of this project, dubbed 'slow streams,' calls for replacing asphalt on the streets near the river with landscaped trenches, or bioswales, to filter stormwater runoff.
