BPCA Flood Resiliency Projects
New York, NY
Since 2014, the Battery Park City Authority (BPCA) has been assessing and undertaking efforts to address the threats of damage and injury to Battery Park City and its residents as a result of future severe storm activity, storm surge and sea level rise associated with global climate change.
As a significant part of this effort, BPCA is currently working on four major resiliency projects, the Ballfields and Community Center Project and the South, North, and West BPC Resiliency Projects that are intended to provide risk reduction for Battery Park City and its residents with respect to future severe storm activity and sea level rise associated with global climate change.
The Resiliency Projects will each provide a set of flood barriers and interior drainage improvements with standalone, independent utility at different locations in Battery Park City. Each (excluding the Ballfields Project) must be capable of connecting with the other Resiliency Projects and, if ultimately funded and built by the City of New York, with the Lower Manhattan Coastal Resiliency Project, which is currently under design and expected to be implemented separately by the City of New York.
