on-top-of-the-world-on-governors-islandsmEven though Gov­er­nors Island is closed for the sea­son, there is still a lot going on here. The design process for the future Gov­er­nors Island Park and Great Prom­e­nade is under­way, and we are updat­ing the pub­lic about the Island’s progress and park plan. This week, we vis­it­ed com­mu­ni­ty board 2 in Brook­lyn, com­mu­ni­ty board 3 on the Low­er East side, and next week you can see us at com­mu­ni­ty board 1 in Man­hat­tan. Check out our pre­sen­ta­tions to see for your­selves how the park design process is going and the many ways that the pub­lic has giv­en us feed­back and ideas so far. We still want your thoughts! Sub­scribe to our blog to stay informed or send us an email with your ideas. You can also hear more about the future park and prom­e­nande from Adri­aan Geuze, prin­ci­pal of West 8. Adri­aan will present his work from around the world and his thoughts on these future open spaces in the mid­dle of New York Har­bor. Come learn more about their ideas on Tues­day evening at 7 PM in Coop­er Union’s Great Hall. Tick­ets are only $10 and can be pur­chased here. Stay updat­ed on all that is hap­pen­ing here. We hope to see you at our pub­lic meet­ings in the next few weeks.
