City Council unanimously adopts resolution to landmark Coney Island Boardwalk
The Coney Island Boardwalk has gotten a little more love — with the goal of ensuring that it is preserved for future generations to enjoy.
The City Council has unanimously adopted a resolution penned by Coney Island Councilmember Mark Treyger that calls on the Landmarks Preservation Commission to designate the Coney Island Riegelmann Boardwalk – first opened in 1923 – a scenic landmark.
The resolution, originally introduced to the City Council in early February, was co-sponsored by Councilmember Chaim Deutsch, and – since its inception – has garnered the support of electeds serving in other capacities, such as Public Advocate Letitia James, Congressmember Hakeem Jeffries, City Comptroller Scott Stringer and Borough President Eric Adams, among others.
