She holds a master's degree from the University of California at Berkeley and a bachelor's degree from the University of California at Los Angeles. The 550-acre Hudson River Park consists of piers, upland and water areas stretching from Battery Park to 59th Street. Plans for the park include renovation of the deteriorated Hudson River waterfront and piers, ultimately restoring the waterfront as an asset for the city and the region. The park plan will provide continuous public access to the water's edge through the creation of a waterside esplanade and bikeway. The plan will preserve views of the Hudson River while providing active uses such as ballfields, playgrounds, fishing and boating.
Construction is ongoing.
Stage One includes the portion of the river front that stretches from Charles Street to West 11th Street in Greenwich Village.
