The New York Metropolitan area will soon see a massive, $335 million berm along Manhattan’s Lower East Side

The Big U is a protective system around Manhattan, driven by the needs and concerns of its communities. Stretching from West 57th street south to The Battery and up to East 42th street, the Big U protects 10 continuous miles of low-lying geography that comprise an incredibly dense, vibrant, and vulnerable urban area.

This is $35Million/mile for a berm...

I am sure the Port Authority will figure out a way to push it to 5 billion.

Sounds like a bargain--really.

Have they admitted that they caused a lot of the flooding in Isaac yet?

Guess its time to move back into Orleans parish partner. Get with it. You can replace some of these undesirables. Do a homestead swap.

The IHNC flood wall was over a billion by itself

The Lake Borgne surge barrier was $670 million/mile for "just a wall." $335 million is chump change for surge protection. Delta Works in the Netherlands was north of $7 billion.

You people and your Isaac/Corps flooding. That flooding had been warned for years. St. John chose to dick around instead.

They shouldn't live in such a low-lying area.
