As part of our listening session series for the next Comprehensive Waterfront Plan, several stakeholder organizations came together to discuss their priorities for the northern Queens waterfront (East River to the north and west to Little Neck Bay to the east). The group discussed ways of fostering a ‘waterfront identity’, including year-round programming that would encourage people to visit their nearest waterfront (Flushing Bay and Creek, for example). These could be cleanups or fishing clinics, for example, and should be free to attend. In order to host these events, various coalitions would need to be developed between nonprofits and other community organizations. Additional signage that leads to the waterfront from Flushing Meadows Corona Park and the Queens Museum was also mentioned as a way to increase visibility and community engagement between the major cultural and recreational resources in the area.
