Английская Википедия:East Shore Seawall
The East Shore Seawall, also known as Staten Island Multi-Use Elevated Promenade, is a Шаблон:Convert long combined seawall and esplanade proposed for the eastern shoreline of Staten Island, New York. It would run along the Lower New York Bay linking sections of the Gateway National Recreation Area: Fort Wadsworth at the north, Miller Field, and Great Kills Park to the south.[1][2] It will roughly parallel Father Capodanno Boulevard and the South Beach–Franklin Delano Roosevelt Boardwalk.
The coastal engineering strategy is to address climate change and sea level rise, and improve resilience along the shoreline of the New York–New Jersey Harbor Estuary and Port of New York and New Jersey. It will be built up to Шаблон:Convert above sea level and protect communities from coastal flooding of up to Шаблон:Convert (two feet higher than that caused by Hurricane Sandy in 2012). It will includes Шаблон:Convert of buried seawall, Шаблон:Convert of earthen levee tie-in, Шаблон:Convert miles vertical flood wall, more than Шаблон:Convert of natural storage, approximately Шаблон:Convert of ponding areas and Шаблон:Convert acres of tidal wetlands. It will also function as a linear park/greenway with recreational amenities including a boardwalk, biking and walking paths, and will provide access to public beaches.[2]
The project, a collaboration between the US Army Corps of Engineers and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, was first announced in May 2017.[4][5][6] In 2019, the city allocated $615 million for its design and construction.[7][8]
Conflicts over environmental remediation has stalled the building of the project, originally projected to be completed in 2024.[9][10]
Federal legislation to expedite the construction of the seawall was passed in June 2022. It is expected to cost $1.5 billion.[11][12] Construction was slated to begin at the end of that year.[13]
