Senator Serrano Celebrates The Opening Of The East 90th Street Pier

Senator Serrano celebrated the opening of the 90th street pier on the Upper East Side. The space was previously closed off and could only be used at specific times, but now the pier will be open to the public every day. In 2014, Senator Serrano joined with Council Member Ben Kallos and Assembly Member Robert Rodriguez in a letter advocating for city agencies to reinvigorate underutilized and deteriorating portions of the East River Esplanade, in which the 90th Street Pier was identified.

"Access to our beautiful waterfront is vitally important to our community's health - both physically and mentally, so I am thrilled to know that the 90th street pier will now be used to its full potential. Many thanks to the New York Parks Department for helping to provide East Harlem and the Upper East Side with this much-needed recreational waterfront area. I would also like to thank Council Member Kallos, Congress Member Maloney, and Assembly Member Rodriguez for joining me in advocating for this beautiful and underused space."
