 | | Riverside Park South is just one part of the 74.6-acres, which in addition to the 30 acres of open space, will host 5,700 apartments in 16 residential buildings, 3,500 parking spaces, and 1.8 million square feet of commercial space. |
 | | Riverside South, a large and often contentious project, succeeded thanks to the involvement of several civic organizations, the Municipal Art Society, the Parks Council, the Riverside Park Fund, the Regional Plan Association, Westpride and the Natural Resources Defense Council, who contributed their expertise to shape a master plan that included the new park. |
 | | To expand the park, part of the original plan called for replacing the existing elevated Miller Highway, thought to be the nation’s oldest elevated highway. |
