NYC Waterfront Government:
The
Department of Parks & Recreation
runs several waterfront facilities.
Most new waterfront parks are not operated by the Parks
Department:
Battery Park City Park
Hudson River Park
Brooklyn Bridge Park
Governor's Island
Empire State Park (DUMBO)
etc.
The City has 2
dockmasters, vestiges of the once large department Ports &
Terminals. The Dockmasters are within the Department of Small Business
Services. They are charged with inspecting the city's some 500+ miles of
waterfront and, preposterously, do not have a boat.
City Council Waterfronts Committee:
3/08
The city council approved legislation (Intro
867-A) to resurrect the Waterfront Advisory Board that has been defunct
since the Dinkins era by reauthorizing the formation of the board as a
21-member entity. The board will "advise ... on matters relating to the
industrial, commercial, residential, recreational and any other
development of the city's wharves and water front property and on other
matters.."
