As part of our listening session series, NYC Planning, Row New York and Harlem River Community Boathouse hosted a meeting at the Peter Jay Sharp Boathouse, where local organizations and individuals discussed their priorities related to human powered boating in relation to the next Comprehensive Waterfront Plan (CWP). Following a presentation on the CWP, attendees introduced themselves and shared their top priorities and concerns related to NYC’s waterfront. The most common topics raised included the equity of in-water access, water quality, programming and funding (including educational/school programs) needs, habitat restoration, and concerns about crumbling infrastructure. Following the full group discussion, attendees were split into smaller groups to take deeper dives into some of the most pressing issues. Participants also discussed ways to promote more equity and better engagement with underrepresented communities on the waterfront. This relates to education, programming, and funding for human-powered boat facilities. The groups also underscored a need for the City to continue improving water quality, specifically the need to reduce Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs).
