It's about time because it took long enough. But if you believe NYC Parks this time, City Island's Belden Point capital project will soon create a small green space and plaza at the southern end of City Island Avenue including new pavement, benches, bollards, and railings.

Human interference with the climate system is occurring and climate change poses risks for human
and natural systems. The assessment of impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability evaluates how patterns of risks and potential benefits are shifting due to climate change.
It considers how impacts and risks related to climate change can be reduced and managed through adaptation and mitigation. The report assesses needs, options, opportunities, constraints, resilience, limits and other aspects associated with adaptation.
If the people on earth do not cut pollution of heat-trapping gases, the already noticeable harms of global warming could spiral "out of control," according to warnings from a United Nations scientific panel.

The US Department of Housing and Urban Development program called “Rebuild by Design,” which attracted engineers, architects, and designers is considering proposals to defend the New York and New Jersey coastlines.
A series of man made islands off the coast of New York and New Jersey may some day protect the Northeast coast from the impact of deadly storm surges during future Superstorms, like the ones caused by Sandy, according to a new proposal as the region continues its recovery.
