Pier 97: continuation of the waterfront esplanade paralleled by lawns, gardens, basketball courts and shade trees. Work on this section can begin once the New York City Department of Sanitation relocates its operations, now being transferred under court order and additional funds are committed.

Pier 76: plans are unclear for this pier to be shared as both park and a commercial or municipal facility after the City relocates the NYPD tow pound. The esplanade and surrounding areas will link Chelsea to Midtown once the fate of the 30th Street Heliport is determined.
