Join our walk to explore Long Island City’s waterfront, which is facing both climate-related flooding and an influx of luxury housing. Learn about LIC’s industrial past, public waterfront land, environmental challenges, and community visions for future development. We’ll start at Queensbridge Houses, the nation’s largest public housing site, and walk down the coastline to Hunters Pt. South, passing landmarks like the Terra Cotta building, a Con Ed facility, and the Anable Cove habitat restoration area. We’ll also visit the sites of competing proposals for public sites at Anable Basin, ending at another city-owned site slated for future development. Wear comfortable shoes, bring sunscreen, water, and a hat. Snacks provided
This walk is sold out, but the waitlist is open.
Accessibility
The walk is approximately 1.5 miles, but we will be stopping at a few points. The terrain is flat, but sidewalks can be bumpy in the industrial, waterfront areas. Travel accessibility: there is an elevator at the Queensbridge station on the F line at the starting point. At the end point, the closest subway is the Vernon/Jackson 7 train, but that station doesn’t have an elevator.
Location Information
RSVP is required and capacity is limited. Meeting location, ending location, and directions will be provided via email before walk date.
