NEW YORK, USA
Five months ago, WXY Architecture + Urban Design’s plan to transform a
four-mile-stretch of the East River into public parkland was a commendable
story about the city’s changing public park systems. Today, in the wake of
Hurricane Sandy, their East River Blueway is a critical project, a model for
how New York will plan for a future wracked by mega-storms and rising
tides.
WXY began work on the Blueway design back in 2011, the same year Mayor
Bloomberg unveiled a sweeping plan to transform 500 miles of deindustrialized
New York coastline into parkland. Backed by local community groups and
Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, the Blueway calls for the creation
of a winding green thread of beaches, wetlands, and pedestrian bridges and
paths that hug Manhattan’s eastern edge, a notoriously pedestrian-unfriendly
stretch of land that’s overshadowed by the Brooklyn Bridge, Williamsburg
The challenge with transforming this tricky sliver of land into usable public Bridge, and FDR Drive at different moments. “The Blueway really puts the

solution to both issues deals with what Weisz describes as “soft edges,” “River to the people.”
a term that refers to design elements that can slow the river’s currents
and withstand powerful storm surges. On the Blueway, soft edges come in
the form of salt-resistant marshlands, sandy beaches, and bulkheads that
reduce wave action. A series of tidal pools will keep kids away from the
rapid currents while keeping surges at bay during storms.
The Blueway will cost millions of dollars and take several years to get under
way, but as Weisz noted, Hurricane Sandy has served as a wake-up call
both for New Yorkers and their city government--on February 7, Stringer
pledged $3.5 million to the project. “Sandy made it possible to explain the
things we feel need to happen, like soft edges and reducing wave action,
t that deal with protecting neighborhoods but also help to mitigate storm
damage,” Weisz added. “The social side of infrastructure is becoming more
and more urgent as our infrastructure gets more dilapidated and our climate
gets more erratic.”
