Plan NYC outlines proposals to improve New York City's water and transportation infrastructure and reduce emissions by 2030, including building a new filtration plant, upgrading wastewater treatment, expanding the Bluebelt network, finishing Water Tunnel No. 3, and increasing trees and green spaces to improve water quality while reducing population growth projections for most boroughs except Staten Island.
