New waterfront park planned in Providence

PROVIDENCE _ The city's plans for a new waterfront park will be unveiled on Monday. The three-acre park, on land to be freed up by the Route 195 relocation project, will be located near Eddy and Ship Streets.

Mayor David N. Cicilline, Parks Superintendent Alix Ogden and representatives from the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) will present the details on Monday at 10 a.m. near the park site.

Mayor Cicilline will also announce a citywide design competition for the park. The Mayor said he considers Providence’s waterfront the next frontier for economic development activity, creating a once in a lifetime opportunity to build an
entirely new Providence neighborhood.
