Report of the New York Harbor Line Board concerning the City of New York’s application for a pier extension along the Chelsea Improvement

The Harbor Line Board recommends that the proposal to extend a pier head line in the Hudson River along the Chelsea Improvement be denied. This extension would not be in the public interest as it would “diminish the navigable capacity of the North River and be obstructive to navigation.” The proposal offers “no compensating advantages to the public at large.”
