Council Member Abreu inquires about changes made to the building's bulkhead since the initial proposal. The panel explains that they have reduced the height of the bulkhead and plan to make it more visually appealing.

  • The bulkhead height has been reduced from 12 feet to 10 feet
  • Plans to make the bulkhead translucent or glass to improve visibility
  • The building's overall height will be lower than the street level of Riverside Drive
