from 44th Street to 47th Street is on hold pending resolution of a legal action against the product

Oats.
The North Beach Recreational Corridor is currently in the schematic development/ planning phases
of the project. The cost for these phases is being deducted from the Beaches and Boardwalk
allocation.
The Administration will continue to monitor the progress of these projects and provide quarterly
updates.
