Coney Island Boardwalk to receive massive reconstruction
After nearly a century, Coney Island’s Riegelmann Boardwalk is receiving a major reconstruction.
On Wednesday, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that he has allocated $114.5 million to begin a phased reconstruction of the historic 2.5-mile boardwalk, which first opened on May 15, 1923.
The city’s Landmarks Preservation Commission designated it a landmark in May 2018.
