Governors Island Going Dutch

New, 12 comments

Are there actually non-fake plans for Governors Island? Possibly. The city and state have announced that a Dutch firm, West 8, has been picked to design the open space on the island. It will include a two-mile promenade along the water, a park on the southern half, and a new park in the north. Don't buy the ferry ticket yet, though, the completion date is...2013.
