In 2006 the New Yorkers for Parks Community Design program collaborated with the Newtown Creek Alliance to create pro-bono designs for the Vernon Boulevard waterfront in Queens. These designs, conceptualized through an open dialogue with the community, introduce valuable open space, provide waterfront access, manage stormwater runoff, and link this waterfront site with a dynamic network of proposed Greenways in Queens and Brooklyn.
