Here Are the Upcoming Projects That Will Transform the Astoria Waterfront
(DNAINFO) Jeanmarie Evelly — A number of projects planned along the East River — including ferry service, new residential housing and a kayak dock — are poised to transform the isolated Astoria waterfront into a neighborhood destination in the coming years, a local lawmaker says.
Councilman Costa Constantinides hopes the changes in store for Hallets Point, a peninsula south of Astoria Park that’s home to the NYCHA Astoria Houses, will boost tourism in the neighborhood and help residents enjoy and connect with the river.
