ROCKAWAY-BOARDWALK-design

The city released renderings for the Rockaway boardwalk redesign, but it may not become a reality until late 2016. DNAinfo reports that the designs includes a wavy pattern along the boardwalk, as well as one with blue stones placed throughout the concrete. The concrete boardwalk will be elevated above the former height to comply with new FEMA flood standards. Unfortunately, the Parks Department does not think it will finish the entire $200,000,000 project until 2016, for the 2017 beach season. The idea is to begin work at Beach 88th Street and continue working west, with the first section of the project between Beach 86th Street and Beach 97th Street finished in the summer of 2014. The city announced the design and construction team in charge of the rebuilding earlier this month.
