Project Details

The North/West Battery Park City Resiliency Project is a resiliency project that the Battery Park City Authority (BPCA) has advanced to protect Battery Park City from future storm surges and sea-level rise. The project contemplates the creation of an integrated coastal flood risk management system from 1st Place, north along the Battery Park City Esplanade, across to the east side of West Street/ Route 9A and terminate above Chambers Street at a high point on Greenwich Street. The project aims to reduce the risks associated with storm surge and sea level rise.
