It's not an actual proposal, just an idea of what a waterfront park could look like on the site. The City is planning to build this park partly as replacement for the small park the UN tower would replace.

The society organized a meeting of top architects last week to come up with a plan for the stretch of waterfront running from East 34th to 63rd streets.

The vision unveiled Sunday represents the "beginning of a long, complicated process," according to Borough President Scott Stringer, to reconcile Solow's plans with the community's desire for more open space and public river access.
