Feds inspect Shore Road Promenade
Waterfront is site of frequent flooding, officials say
Experts from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers inspected the Shore Road Promenade on Tuesday with an eye toward identifying locations that could be repaired under a resiliency program.
The Shore Road Promenade is a concrete pedestrian-bike path located along the shoreline in Bay Ridge and Bensonhurst running adjacent to the Belt Parkway.
U.S. Rep. Dan Donovan (R-C-Southwest Brooklyn-Staten Island) requested the inspection and accompanied the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers representatives on their tour of the waterfront area.
The contingent was joined by leaders of Community Board 10 from Bay Ridge and Community Board 11 from Bensonhurst, as well as state Sen. Marty Golden (R-C-Bay Ridge-Southwest Brooklyn), Councilmember Vincent Gentile (D-Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights-parts of Bensonhurst), and representatives from the Mayor’s Office of Recovery and Resiliency, the New York City Parks Department, and the city’s Department of Environmental Protection.
