About
The 2.25-mile flood protection system dubbed the East Side Coastal Resiliency Project (ESCR) has reached a major milestone with the opening of key areas of East River Park. Conceived as a "parkipelago" of interconnected parks along the East River waterfront, the project creates a series of elevated green spaces that double as flood barriers while offering new public amenities for the surrounding Lower East Side neighborhood.
