Boulder in Battery Park City
• 5 Lenapehoking Boulders from rural upstate New York Lenapehoking territory. Donated and delivered by Lenape Center.
• Park amenities: 2 5-bike racks, 2 chess tables, 2 6-foot benches, 3 9-foot benches, and 6 9-foot backless benches (parallel to and about 4 feet from the CH fence).
• Vehicle protection security capital improvement: Add traffic fence and high curb along plaza’s eastern border, Centre St west-side curb; new bollards at 3 of plaza’s 6 sidewalk-level entrances.
• NYC Parks: Repair dangerous bluestone pavement (see photos below).
• MTA leaking glass bricks: Repair, permanently cover, or replace; remove construction fence (obstructs pedestrian movement, attracts obscene graffiti, accumulates trash, since summer 2020). (See photos below).
