The park and road are an integral design, like a modern version of a parkway. The boulevard/highway features park landscaping and infrastructure (lights, signs, curbing, etc.) that are unique in the city of New York (and a model to be replicated.) It seems that more of the financial burden of creating this shared park/road/waterfront facility could be borne by users of the road. Should some of the congestion fees be directed to the parks that will host the free by-pass routes? Or should those routes really be free? re Hudson River Park’s need for funds: This waterfront recreational facility was created in conjunction with the West Side Highway – a compromise solution to the battle of Westway.

As part of the Mayor’s PLANYC, the city’s proposing new regulations for all new and enlarged commercial parking lots with at least 18 parking spaces or 6,000 square feet, replacing weed-filled perimeters with shrubbery and trees.
