""We are building a city that protects New Yorkers in the places where flooding hits hardest. This project turns everyday public spaces - our schoolyards, streets and parking lots - into infrastructure that keeps our communities safe.""
""Climate change is already here, and our infrastructure must catch up. These investments into stormwater management are increasingly critical.""
The Cloudburst project in Homecrest will install porous pavement and underground storage systems to manage 30 million gallons of stormwater annually. Targeted areas include flood-prone corridors like Kings Highway and Coney Island Avenue. The project utilizes public spaces such as schoolyards and parking lots for stormwater storage. City officials emphasize the need for infrastructure to adapt to climate change, reflecting a shift in planning. The initiative builds on the Cloudburst Management Program, which has been implemented in various neighborhoods across New York City.
