The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) has announced that the playground at West Thames Park, also known as Tire Swing Park, will re-open for public use on Friday, May 28, 2010 at 3:00PM.

The new playground features separate recreation areas for older and younger children, water-play elements for all ages, a toddler play area, and a children's basketball half-court. The playground also includes climbing structures, a new tire swing to replace the old one, rocking pieces, tables, colorful mushrooms and daisies, sand, and spring toys.

Regular hours for the playground area, as set by the Battery Park City Parks Conservancy, are 6:00AM to 1:00AM.

In addition, the dog runs for both large and small dogs are now open.

This is the first in a series of stages to be completed before the West Thames Park is finished and can officially open. For example, the new lawn has been sodded and will be allowed to "knit" until mid-June to make sure the lawn stays healthy; colored surface finishes are being applied to the two additional basketball half courts located outside the playground area; and, the Liberty Community Gardens will be transplanted to their new location inside the Park next weekend. As features are completed over the next few weeks, NYSDOT will announce their availability to the public.

At this time, the P.S.89/I.S.89 dedicated school bus lane along the north curb of Warren Street will be removed. Necessary steps will be taken to implement the traffic change before students return from winter recess in January 2010.

NEWS RELEASE
BATTERY PARK CITY RELEASES REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS FOR PROSPECTIVE TENANTS OF PIER A
-----

$30 MILLION IN RESTORATION WORK FUNDED BY NEW YORK CITY CONTINUES AT HISTORIC LOWER MANHATTAN PIER
-----

(New York, NY: November 23, 2009) Today, the Hugh L. Carey Battery Park City Authority (BPCA) released a Request for Qualifications, which seeks responses from individuals and companies interested in leasing and operating Pier A for an active use that creates a first-class destination in Lower Manhattan. Pier A is an historic, three-story, 39,000 square foot pier located just south of Battery Park City. New York City Economic Development Corporation is working closely with BPCA on the $30 million restoration of the City-owned pier.

"It is heartening to know that Pier A is generating so much interest in the business community," said Governor David Paterson. "Pier A has historic significance to our City's waterfront and our nation, and I am so happy that the Battery Park City Authority has been chosen by Mayor Bloomberg to restore the pier to its former glory."

"Pier A, one of New York City's true historic treasures, should be bustling with life and available for the public to enjoy," said Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. "With Battery Park City working at full bore with the City it will soon be rightfully restored to its former grandeur and once again be a destination of Lower Manhattan."

Pier A was originally built in 1886 and was originally part of the Battery Park City footprint when the Authority was created in 1969. In addition to serving as a gateway for visitors to New York City, it was also where soldiers returning from World War I disembarked and were welcomed home. The pier was also home to the Fire Battalion as well as other port offices. It has been unoccupied for several decades.

"The fact that this magnificent property, with such extraordinary historical significance, sat fallow for so many years was tragic. It became an issue of concern for our residents and the whole of Lower Manhattan," said James Gill, Chairman of BPCA. "Many people found it distressing that this property sat unused and shrouded. We have wanted an opportunity to redevelop it for quite some time. Our extensive experience managing multi-million dollar capital projects, overseeing major construction activity, and our proven environmental record, make us uniquely equipped to direct Pier A's renovation."

"Pier A, with its historical significance on the Lower Manhattan shoreline, has for too long been kept from its residents and visitors," said NYCEDC President Seth W. Pinsky. "I am pleased that by working with the Battery Park City Authority, we are making real progress towards the restoration and revitalization of this magnificent landmark."

Battery Park City has already completed underwater repairs to the Pier's foundation and has commenced replacement of the pier's deck. World renowned architect, Hugh Hardy, is responsible for the plans for the pier's restoration.It is expected that the restoration of Pier A will be completed and the building will be available to a selected tenant by March 31, 2011

The Authority intends to utilize the RFQ responses to gauge interest in and assess the qualifications of potential tenants for Pier A. Responses may be used to identify one or more preferred candidate(s) and/or to fashion a subsequent Request for Proposals to be issued in 2010. For a copy of the RFQ, please go to www.batteryparkcity.org and click on "Opportunities."

Responses are due no later than 4 p.m. on January 29, 2010.

The Battery Park City Authority is a public benefit corporation created by the New York State Legislature in 1968 to develop a 92-acre site at the southwestern tip of Lower Manhattan. Parcels are leased to developers who build in accordance with BPCA guidelines, which now incorporate "green" provisions mandating state-of-the-art environmental specifications to maximize energy efficiency and minimize water usage, among other provisions.

Dear Tenant/Community:

Please see the information below regarding the WTC River Water Line work around 1 and 2 WFC by Guardian Services. I am notifying you so no one is alarmed if and when they see people outside the building in full suits, respirators and scuba gear. June 4th and June 18th are scheduled test runs, beginning at 9 a.m.. Tentatively, July 9th is the scheduled date for applying the coating to the River Water lines.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

On Thursday, June 4th Guardian Engineering in concert with PANYNJ Safety and PAPD-ESU will be doing a mock Permit Required Confined Space entry into the river water pumping station located on Kowsky Plaza near the Gateway complex. This work is in preparation for the installation of certain materials that will be applied to the river water piping which will eventually supply the WTC Memorial Chiller Plant at the site.

During the entry and throughout the morning commencing at 9am personnel may be wearing full body suits, respirators and scuba gear to ascertain the conditions that will be encountered when the product is actually applied. This is the first of two mock entries that will take place, the second one scheduled on June 18th will take place at the same time and will involve access and activity at the manhole covers located south of Two World Financial on Liberty Street.

The actual initial application of the material to be used is tentatively scheduled for July 9th. Once these test runs are complete and the information is gathered, a more complete schedule will be generated as to when this work will be performed on a more routine basis. Once this schedule is established I will share this information with you..

Should you need to discuss anything further regarding this activity, please contact me.

Thank you.
