The New York City Economic Development Corporation, on behalf of the Mayor’s Office of Recovery and Resiliency, is addressing the vulnerability of New York City’s shorelines due to long-term sea-level rise. In Staten Island, Travis Avenue has been identified as a roadway that requires improvements to protect against flooding.
Stakeholder Engagement
Melissa Johnson Associates assists NYCEDC and the Mayor’s Office with stakeholder outreach and engagement as part of the environmental review process. MJA’s outreach plan for the project included emphasizing the benefits of the project and the traffic mitigation improvements that will take place prior to construction. Additionally, MJA helped NYCEDC coordinate with local emergency services, hold required public meetings as part of the environmental review process, facilitate communication to the community board, and receive approval of the project’s design by the Public Design Commission (PDC).
