| Description | SEE SCHEDULE O FOR COMMUNICATIONS AND COALITION BUILDING.COMMUNICATIONS AND COALITION BUILDINGMWA IS A CENTRAL SOURCE OF INFORMATION AND THE HUB FOR COMMUNICATION ABOUT WATERFRONT ISSUES IN THE NEW YORK METROPOLITAN AREA. THROUGH ITS PROGRAMS FOCUSING ON COMMUNICATIONS AND COALITION BUILDING, MWA MAKES A VARIETY OF PLATFORMS AVAILABLE FOR EDUCATION, DISCUSSION, PLANNING, AND COLLABORATION ON THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES FACING THE NEW YORK-NEW JERSEY HARBOR. THE ALLIANCETHE ALLIANCE IS A COALITION OF OVER 650 CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS, NEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS, UTILITIES, UNIONS, COMPANIES, LOCAL ACTIVISTS, AND MORE, THAT CARE ABOUT IMPROVING THE WATERFRONT. MWA CONVENES ALLIANCE PARTNERS TO WORK TOWARD OUR SHARED VISION OF A HARBOR AND WATERWAYS ALIVE WITH COMMERCE, RECREATION, AND TRANSPORTATION. IN TURN, MWA PROVIDES ALLIANCE PARTNERS WITH IMPORTANT PLATFORMS, LIKE CITY OF WATER DAY, WHERE THEY CAN ENGAGE THE GENERAL PUBLIC, PROMOTE THEIR WORK, AND DEVELOP LASTING, MUTUALLY-BENEFICIAL RELATIONSHIPS. MWA'S TASK FORCESTHE TASK FORCES CONVENED BY MWA TAKE ON THE IMPORTANT JOBS OF DEFINING NEEDS, SYNTHESIZING VARIOUS AGENDAS, PRIORITIZING LAND-USE PROPOSALS, AND DEVELOPING A COMPREHENSIVE VISION FOR THE NEW YORK-NEW JERSEY WATERFRONT. COMPRISED OF SCIENTISTS, ENGINEERS, URBAN PLANNERS, COMMUNITY ADVOCATES, GOVERNMENT WORKERS, BOAT CAPTAINS, AND OTHERS, THE TASK FORCES REPRESENT A DIVERSE GROUP OF STAKEHOLDERS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR LOCAL WATERWAYS. MWA'S TASK FORCES FOCUS ON AQUATECTURE, GREEN HARBOR, HARBOR EDUCATION, HARBOR RECREATION, AND THE WORKING WATERFRONT HAVE BEEN ACTIVE SINCE 2007, AND CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD ON A VARIETY OF CRITICAL AGENDA ITEMS. MWA HELD SIX TASK FORCE MEETINGS DURING 2011, THAT WERE ATTENDED BY HUNDREDS OF WATERFRONT PARTNERS FROM DEVELOPERS TO RECREATIONAL BOATERS WHO LENT THEIR COLLECTIVE EXPERTISE TO MOVING FORWARD THE NEWLY RELEASED NEW YORK CITY COMPREHENSIVE WATERFRONT PLAN. THE NEW YORK CITY COMPREHENSIVE WATERFRONT PLAN WAS RELEASED IN MARCH 2011 AND WAS PRAISED BY MWA, ITS ALLIANCE PARTNERS, AND THE BROADER WATERFRONT COMMUNITY FOR ITS COMPREHENSIVENESS AND ITS FORWARD THINKING PROGRESSIVE PLANS FOR THE NEW YORK CITY WATERFRONT. MANY MWA RECOMMENDATIONS WERE INCORPORATED INTO THE FINAL PLAN AS WERE MANY OF MWA'S ALLIANCE PARTNERS' RECOMMENDATIONS. FOR EXAMPLE AT LEAST 46 RECOMMENDATIONS ARE DIRECTLY ATTRIBUTABLE TO MWA AND THE TASK FORCES' WORK WITH THE CITY IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PLAN. THIS IS A TESTAMENT TO THE PROCESS MWA ADVOCATES FOR AND TO WHICH THE CITY EVENTUALLY ADOPTED AND PUT INTO PLACE FROM 2009 TO 2010. TO ENSURE MWA TASK FORCES COULD WEIGH IN ON THE FINAL PLAN AND WORK TOWARD ADDRESSING DEFICIENCIES AND OMISSIONS, MWA ASKED TASK FORCES TO REVIEW THE COMPREHENSIVE WATERFRONT PLAN FOR GAPS AND TO WORK WITH MWA TO DEVELOP RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ANY MISSING PRIORITIES. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW PUBLIC ACCESS ISSUES AT SPECIFIC LOCATIONS, THERE WAS WIDE CONSENSUS AMONG TASK FORCE MEMBERS THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE WATERFRONT PLAN SUFFICIENTLY INCORPORATED WATERFRONT GOALS, OBJECTIVES, PROJECTS, AND PROGRAMS. THE TASK FORCE MEMBERS ALSO AGREED THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR MWA TO CONTINUE TO PUSH THE CITY FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SPECIFIC PROGRAMS AND TO ADVOCATE FOR SUFFICIENT FUNDING FOR THE PLAN'S IMPLEMENTATION. IN ADDITION, IN 2011, MWA'S SIX TASK FORCES DRAFTED RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A ONE-STOP-SHOP FOR WATERFRONT PERMITTING, WATERFRONT DESIGN GUIDELINES, NEW SITES AND LOCATIONS FOR DOCKS AND OTHER PUBLIC ACCESS IMPROVEMENTS IN NEW YORK CITY, AND WATER-BASED ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS. HARBOR COALITION IN 2011 MWA, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE NATIONAL PARKS CONSERVATION ASSOCIATION, LAUNCHED THE NEW YORK - NEW JERSEY HARBOR COALITION, AN ALLIANCE OF COMMUNITY GROUPS AND NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS WORKING TO SECURE BETTER FUNDING FOR OUR REGION IN ORDER TO REVITALIZE AND RESTORE THE NEW YORK - NEW JERSEY HARBOR'S ECOLOGY, PARKS AND RECREATION, COMMERCE, AND TRANSPORTATION. IN 2011, THE HARBOR COALITION SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHED A NATIONAL CAMPAIGN THAT IS LAYING THE GROUNDWORK FOR A SUSTAINED EFFORT TO SECURE THE NECESSARY RESOURCES FOR ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST BELOVED HARBORS. IN 2011, MWA AND THE HARBOR COALITION RECRUITED COALITION MEMBERS; FINALIZED A WORK PLAN; HIRED A CAMPAIGN DIRECTOR; DEVELOPED BRANDING, MESSAGING AND PUBLIC RELATIONS COLLATERAL; DEFINED ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER REGIONAL ADVOCATES; HIRED AN EXPERIENCED CAMPAIGN CONSULTANT; JOINED THE NATIONAL GREAT WATERS COALITION; RECEIVED PRESS COVERAGE FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES, CHANNEL 13, NJTV AND OTHERS; AND HELD DOZENS OF MEETINGS WITH STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT STAFF MEMBERS, AND ADVOCACY ORGANIZATIONS ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN. CITY OF WATER DAYCITY OF WATER DAY IS A UNIQUE AND HIGH-PROFILE ANNUAL EVENT IN ITS FOURTH YEAR THAT FOCUSES WIDE-SCALE PUBLIC ATTENTION ON THE CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES FACING OUR WATERFRONT AND HIGHLIGHTS SOLUTIONS. THIS FREE, DAYLONG FESTIVAL ON GOVERNORS ISLAND, IN LIBERTY STATE PARK, AND, FOR THE FIRST TIME, AT SEVEN OTHER WATERFRONT LOCATIONS AROUND THE HARBOR, INSPIRES PEOPLE WITH THE VISION OF A WORLD-CLASS REGIONAL WATERFRONT. MWA ACCOMPLISHES THIS THROUGH WATERFRONT FUN, ENTERTAINMENT, AND RECREATION, AS WELL AS DIALOGUE, HANDS-ON LEARNING, AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT, IN A WAY NOT REPLICATED AT ANY OTHER HARBOR EVENT IN THE REGION. IN 2011, 25,000 PEOPLE PARTICIPATED IN THE EVENT AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS LEARNED ABOUT THE POTENTIAL OF THE WATERFRONT THROUGH EXTENSIVE MEDIA COVERAGE.WATERFRONT COMMUNICATIONS OUR COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAM HAS ESTABLISHED MWA AS AN AUTHORITATIVE VOICE ON WATERFRONT ISSUES AND A RELIABLE SOURCE OF INFORMATION FOR EVERYONE RANGING FROM THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT TO THE SMALLEST NEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS. MWA REACHES THOUSANDS OF ACTIVE WATERFRONT-INSPIRED ORGANIZATIONS, INDIVIDUALS, AND LEADERS THROUGH ITS EFFECTIVE AND POPULAR COMMUNICATION TOOLS. THESE INCLUDE THE BI-WEEKLY ELECTRONIC NEWSLETTER, WATERWIRE, DISTRIBUTED TO OVER 7,000 READERS; MWA'S WEBSITE FEATURING IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE WATERFRONT, THE MWA WATERFRONT ACTION AGENDA, MWA PROJECTS AND REPORTS, AND THE NEW YORK CITY COMPREHENSIVE WATERFRONT PLAN; A SEMIANNUAL PRINTED NEWSLETTER; AND A GUIDE TO THE WATERFRONT DESTINATIONS AROUND THE HARBOR. THROUGH ITS ROLE AS THE REGIONAL WATERFRONT CONVENER, MWA HAS BECOME A NEXUS FOR NEWS AND POLICY REGARDING THE WATERFRONT THROUGH ITS PRIMARY COMMUNICATION VEHICLE, WATERWIRE. IMPORTANT ISSUES AND EVENTS ARE TRANSMITTED TO THE WATERFRONT COMMUNITY AND SOMETIMES PICKED UP BY THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA AS STORIES.MWA ALSO CONDUCTS IN-DEPTH RESEARCH THAT AFFECTS AND CREATES NEW POLICY, AND WHICH IS AVAILABLE AS DOCUMENTS, PUBLICATIONS, AND WHITE PAPERS ON ITS WEBSITE. | Description |

| Description | SEE SCHEDULE O FOR POLICY INITIATIVES.POLICY INITIATIVESAS A RESULT OF ITS ONGOING WORK TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF WATERFRONT ISSUES AND EFFECT CHANGE, MWA HAS CREATED THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMS TO ADDRESS HIGH-PRIORITY POLICY INITIATIVES. WITH EACH OF THESE PROGRAMS, MWA HAS IDENTIFIED IMPORTANT LEVERAGE POINTS WHERE THE ORGANIZATION CAN USE ITS CONSIDERABLE REPUTATION AND INFLUENCE TO PRESENT A PLAN, BUILD CONSENSUS, AND ULTIMATELY TAKE ACTION TO BENEFIT THE WATERFRONT. WATERFRONT PERMITTING PROGRAMIN THE NEW YORK-NEW JERSEY HARBOR THERE ARE DOZENS OF GOVERNMENT AGENCIES RESPONSIBLE FOR SOME ASPECT OF REGULATING WATERFRONT USE, RESULTING IN A COMPLICATED, NON-TRANSPARENT SYSTEM THAT STYMIES EVEN THE MOST SOPHISTICATED WATERFRONT OPERATORS. MWA HAS TAKEN A LEADERSHIP ROLE IN CLARIFYING AND REFINING THE WATERFRONT PERMITTING SYSTEM, AND HAS ESTABLISHED ITSELF AS THE VOICE FOR THE MARITIME INDUSTRY, COMMUNITY GROUPS, DESIGN FIRMS, PARK DEVELOPERS, AND OTHERS, LOOKING TO CREATE ECOLOGICALLY SOUND WATERFRONT PROJECTS THAT BENEFIT THE CITY AND ITS RESIDENTS.MWA AND ITS TASK FORCES WERE THE INITIAL CHAMPIONS OF THE IDEA OF A ONE-STOP-SHOP FOR WATERFRONT PERMITTING ASSISTANCE. THE ONE-STOP-SHOP IDEA GAINED SIGNIFICANT TRACTION IN 2011 AND IS NOW A PRIORITY AMONG GOVERNMENT AGENCIES. A ONE-STOP-SHOP WOULD BE AN OFFICE WHERE SMALL WATERFRONT PROJECTS CAN GO FOR LOW COST ASSISTANCE IN GAINING APPROVALS FOR GOOD AND ECOLOGICALLY SOUND WATERFRONT PROJECTS. THE CURRENT WATERFRONT PERMITTING SYSTEM PREVENTS SMALL PROJECTS FROM MOVING FORWARD BECAUSE OF ITS COMPLEXITY AND LACK OF TRANSPARENCY. IN 2011 MWA BEGAN TO PLAY A CENTRAL ROLE IN ENSURING THE PLANS FOR A ONE-STOP-SHOP ARE CARRIED FORWARD, FUNDED, TESTED WITH A PILOT PROGRAM, AND ENHANCED BY INCORPORATING INPUT FROM THE USER COMMUNITY. REGIONAL FERRY SERVICEREGIONAL FERRY SERVICE IS A PRIORITY ADVOCACY AREA FOR MWA. TO DATE, FERRY SERVICE HAS PLAYED ONLY A LIMITED ROLE IN TRANSPORTATION IN NEW YORK CITY. HOWEVER, THE REVITALIZATION OF THE WATERFRONT IS RENEWING AWARENESS OF THE VALUE OF THE CITY'S WATERWAYS AS A TRANSPORTATION RESOURCE. WATERBORNE RECREATIONAL AND COMMUTER TRANSPORT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO MAKE A LASTING POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE REGION BY TAKING CARS OFF THE ROADS AND RELIEVING BURDENS ON OTHER FORMS OF MASS TRANSIT. MWA HAS BEEN THE MOST PROMINENT CIVIC VOICE CALLING FOR THE USE OF OUR HARBOR AND WATERWAYS AS A BLUE HIGHWAY FOR COMMUTING, FUN, AND FOR RELIEVING CONGESTION. MWA COMPLETED A REGIONAL FERRY SERVICE RESEARCH PROGRAM IN 2011 WHICH FORMS THE BASIS OF MWA'S FUTURE FERRY ADVOCACY STRATEGY.WATERFRONT GOVERNANCEA 21ST CENTURY WATERFRONT REQUIRES A 21ST CENTURY GOVERNANCE MODEL THAT ADDRESSES QUESTIONS OF WHO RUNS THE WATERFRONT, WHO PAYS FOR THE WATERFRONT, AND WHO PAYS FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE WATERFRONT, QUESTIONS THAT REMAIN UNANSWERED. MWA IS THE REGION'S ADVOCATE FOR BETTER WATERFRONT GOVERNANCE. IN 2011, MWA SUBMITTED COMMENTS TO NEW YORK CITY REGARDING THE FUNCTIONS AND ROLES OF A POTENTIAL DEPARTMENT OF THE WATERFRONT AND CONDUCTED INITIAL RESEARCH ON HOW TO ESTABLISH A DEPARTMENT WITHOUT HAVING TO GENERATE NEW SOURCES OF CITY REVENUE TO PAY FOR NEW STAFF. ADDITIONALLY, MWA COMPLETED A DEPARTMENT OF THE WATERFRONT WHITE PAPER - RETOOLING WATERFRONT GOVERNANCE IN THE NY-NJ HARBOR THAT ANALYZED WATERFRONT GOVERNANCE STRATEGIES IN OTHER CITIES AROUND THE WORLD. THE PAPER SERVED AS THE BASIS OF THE GOVERNANCE DISCUSSION AT MWA'S FLOATING FOLLOW-UP WATERFRONT CONFERENCE IN 2011. WATERFRONT CONFERENCES CONVENED BY MWA, NEW YORK - NEW JERSEY WATERFRONT CONFERENCES GATHER THE REGION'S LEADING WATERFRONT ADVOCATES, POLITICIANS, ENVIRONMENTALISTS, COMMUNITY AND BUSINESS LEADERS, SCIENTISTS, AND ELECTED OFFICIALS TO SHARE IDEAS AND DEVELOP STRATEGIES FOR REVITALIZING THE REGION'S WATERFRONT. MWA'S CONFERENCES ACHIEVE MULTIPLE GOALS - EDUCATING LEADERS, BRINGING TOGETHER MWA'S CONSTITUENCY, GENERATING POLICY IDEAS, AND BUILDING MOMENTUM FOR NEW THINKING.IN 2011 MWA HELD A MINI CONFERENCE ON THE BOAT, THE SPIRIT OF NEW JERSEY -- MWA'S FLOATING FOLLOW-UP TO THE 2010 WATERFRONT CONFERENCE. THE EVENT MARKED A SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENT FOR MWA, ITS TASK FORCES, AND FOR MOVING FORWARD KEY WATERFRONT PRIORITIES. THE FLOATING FOLLOW-UP WAS A HIGH PROFILE PLATFORM FOR THE ALLIANCE AND TASK FORCES IN 2011 TO KEEP UP MOMENTUM FOR CHANGE AND IMPLEMENT KEY WATERFRONT POLICIES. THE EVENT WAS ATTENDED BY FOUR U.S. MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND FURTHERED IMPLEMENTATION OF FOUR IMPORTANT POLICY AREAS PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED BY MWA TASK FORCES:- DREDGE MATERIAL MANAGEMENT- WATERFRONT GOVERNANCE- REGIONAL FERRY TRANSIT- NEW YORK - NEW JERSEY HARBOR COALITIONOVER THREE HUNDRED WATERFRONT ADVOCATES AND LEADERS ATTENDED. EACH PANEL FEATURED SPEAKERS FROM MUNICIPALITIES FROM OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY TO PROVIDE THEIR EXPERTISE ON BEST PRACTICES FROM OTHER REGIONS. THE EVENT WAS STRUCTURED TO ENSURE THAT CLEAR STEPS FORWARD WERE IDENTIFIED FOR EACH POLICY AREA. SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS WAS MADE IN SEVERAL AREAS INCLUDING DREDGE MATERIAL MANAGEMENT, WATERFRONT GOVERNANCE, FERRY TRANSIT, AND FUNDING FOR THE NEW YORK - NEW JERSEY HARBOR, AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE CONFERENCE. | Description |

| Description | SEE SCHEDULE O FOR DIRECT SERVICE AND PUBLIC PLANNING.DIRECT SERVICE AND PUBLIC PLANNINGALL OF MWA'S WORK HAS THE END GOAL OF MAKING THE WATERFRONT MORE ACCESSIBLE, SAFE, AND ENJOYABLE FOR EVERYONE IN THE NEW YORK-NEW JERSEY HARBOR REGION. MWA'S DIRECT SERVICE AND PUBLIC PLANNING PROGRAMS PROMOTE ACCESS TO THE WATERFRONT AND WATERWAYS, AND PUT PLANS IN PLACE FOR IMPROVED ACCESS AT MORE SITES IN THE FUTURE. IN ADDITION, THESE PROGRAMS HELP EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT OUR HARBOR, WATERWAYS, AND THE ISSUES THAT THEY FACE, AS WELL AS PROMOTE STEWARDSHIP OF THESE INVALUABLE RESOURCES. HARBOR CAMP HARBOR CAMP IS A UNIQUE WATER-BASED SUMMER CAMP THAT INTRODUCES LOW-INCOME SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN TO NEW YORK CITY'S HARBOR AND WATERWAYS. EACH SUMMER, MWA PROVIDES AN AVERAGE OF 20 NO-COST, ON-WATER, OR WATER-FOCUSED FIELD TRIPS TO CHILDREN FROM LOCAL SETTLEMENT HOUSES, MOST OFTEN ON HISTORIC AND EDUCATIONAL VESSELS. THE TRIPS PROVIDE HANDS-ON ECOLOGICAL, ENVIRONMENTAL, MARITIME, AND HISTORICAL EDUCATION, AND CULTIVATE AN ATTITUDE OF STEWARDSHIP IN PARTICIPANTS. IN 2011, OVER 1,200 CHILDREN FROM SETTLEMENT HOUSES PARTICIPATED IN HARBOR CAMP, AN EXPERIENCE THAT WILL SEED THEIR COMMITMENT AS ADULTS TO SHAPE, PROTECT, AND DEVELOP THE WATERFRONT FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. HARBOR CAMP CONTINUED ITS PARTNERSHIP IN 2011 BETWEEN MWA AND THE NEW YORK HARBOR SCHOOL. THIS PARTNERSHIP ENABLES HARBOR CAMP TO SERVE AS A VEHICLE TO INTRODUCE MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS TO HARBOR EDUCATION AND CAREERS IN THE MARITIME INDUSTRY. HARBOR CAMP IS PART OF A GROWING EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVE FOR MWA THAT INCLUDES THE HARBOR EDUCATION TASK FORCE, MWA'S HARBOR LITERACY DOCUMENT FOR EDUCATORS, SPLASH! - MWA'S WATERFRONT EDUCATION RESOURCE GUIDE, AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING AT CITY OF WATER DAY.DESIGN THE EDGE DESIGN THE EDGE IS A COLLABORATIVE VENTURE TO MAKE INNOVATIVE WATERFRONT DESIGN A STANDARD IN ALL WATERFRONT PROJECTS. BIG BOX STORES, LARGE CONDOMINIUMS, BULKY SEA WALLS, OR POORLY DESIGNED PROMENADES AND WATERFRONT PARKS CAN LOCK AWAY OUR SHORELINE AND HAVE SIGNIFICANT ECOLOGICAL IMPACT. BY GATHERING LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS, MARINE ENGINEERS, MARINE BIOLOGISTS, AND ENVIRONMENTAL ARTISTS, MWA'S DESIGN THE EDGE PROGRAM CHALLENGES TRADITIONAL PARADIGMS OF WATERFRONT DESIGN AND INITIATES PROJECTS TO TRANSFORM NEW YORK CITY'S MANY SHORELINES THAT ARE POORLY PLANNED FOR OPTIMAL USE. BUILDING ON ITS 2006 DESIGN THE EDGE PROJECT IN HARLEM RIVER PARK (MANHATTAN), ITS 2010 WORK IN THE FAR ROCKAWAYS (BROOKLYN) AND NEAR THE SOUTH STREET SEAPORT (MANHATTAN), MWA BEGAN WORK IN 2011 ON CONCEPTUAL DESIGN PLANNING AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE NEW YORK CITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION'S WATERFRONT SITE ALONG HALLETS COVE, QUEENS. THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN FOR THE COVE WILL BE COMPLETED BY THE END OF 2012.THE OPEN WATERS INITIATIVE MWA'S OPEN WATERS INITIATIVE BRINGS COMMUNITY ECO DOCKS TO WATERFRONTS THROUGHOUT THE FIVE BOROUGHS, UNLOCKING THE REGION'S WATERFRONT AND ALLOWING HUMAN-POWERED BOATS, HISTORIC AND EDUCATIONAL VESSELS, TALL SHIPS, AND OTHER VESSELS TO VISIT THESE ONCE LAND-LOCKED WATERFRONT COMMUNITIES. THESE FLOATING DOCKS ARE ACCESSIBLE TO ALL TYPES OF VESSELS, AND THEIR FLEXIBILITY, COST-EFFECTIVENESS, AND POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC BENEFITS MAKE THEM ALMOST UNIVERSALLY APPROVED BY CITY AGENCIES AND COMMUNITIES ALIKE. IN 2011, A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF MWA'S PROGRAM WORK CONSISTED OF FINALIZING THE PLANNING, DESIGN, AND COORDINATION OF MWA'S FIRST COMMUNITY ECO DOCK TO BE INSTALLED IN 2012 AT THE 69TH STREET PIER IN BAY RIDGE, BROOKLYN. EXTENSIVE COMMUNITY OUTREACH, PLANNING, DESIGN PLANNING, AND COORDINATION WITH THE NEW YORK CITY PARKS DEPARTMENT WAS COMPLETED IN 2011 WHICH WILL LEAD TO THE COMPLETION OF THE DOCK. MWA WORKED EXTENSIVELY WITH ITS PARTNERS ON IDENTIFYING ADDITIONAL WATERFRONT SITES WHERE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS OR DOCKING FACILITIES ARE NEEDED TO OPEN UP WATERFRONT NEIGHBORHOODS IN NEW YORK CITY. IN 2011, MWA WORKED WITH ITS RECREATION TASK FORCE TO CREATE CRITERIA FOR SITING NEW WATERFRONT IMPROVEMENTS. THESE CRITERIA NOW SERVE AS THE BASIS OF MWA'S PLANNING STRATEGY FOR WATERFRONT IMPROVEMENTS.IN 2011, MWA WORKED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NEW YORK CITY PARKS DEPARTMENT AND THE NEW YORK CITY WATER TRAILS ASSOCIATION TO COMPLETE GUIDELINES FOR DESIGNING PUBLIC ACCESS FACILITIES. IN THE PAST, KAYAK LAUNCHES, GET-DOWNS, OR STAIRWAYS ON THE WATER'S EDGE WERE DESIGNED WITHOUT CONSULTING LOCAL USER GROUPS. THIS HAS LED TO FACILITIES THAT CAN ONLY ACCOMMODATE CERTAIN KINDS OF BOATS AND AT WORST HAVE LED TO FACILITIES THAT ARE UNUSABLE. MWA'S PUBLIC ACCESS DESIGN GUIDELINES WILL RAISE AWARENESS AMONG AGENCIES AND THE DESIGN COMMUNITY ABOUT THE PROPER DESIGN OF PUBLIC ACCESS IMPROVEMENTS TO MAKE SURE THESE WATERFRONT FACILITIES ACCOMMODATE AS MANY USERS AS POSSIBLE. THE GUIDELINES ARE PLANNED TO BE COMPLETED IN 2013. | Description |
