RWA has established recycling initiatives along the beach boardwalk, public waterfront access sites along Jamaica Bay and reclaimed neglected lots of public space for a new waterfront park under the PLANYC 2030 initiative.
We work closely with community members, local stakeholders and government agencies to create an active and vibrant waterfront for all to enjoy. We have done this by establishing an active planning coalition that is presently working on the first masterplan for the Rockaways and Broad Channel in order to lay the groundwork for a 197A community based plan. This plan will incorporate all public space along the Rockaway Peninsula and Broad Channel, improvements to transportation links, establishing way finding signage, as well as a blue and greenway trail for improved waterfront access and transportation alternatives.
Planning meetings are open to the public and look to include civic organizations, and local stakeholders. Check our schedule of events for upcoming meetings. Send us an email if you would like to be included in future updates.
