New ramp in central park Scrapbook

Central Park Conservancy officials unveiled a new ramp designed to make the park more accessible. The ramp, just off Fifth Avenue at 64th Street, is the design and work of Central Park Conservancy. The project involved rebuilding the existing stairs and adding a handrail, and will eventually include repaving the entire perimeter of Central Park from East 60th to 65th streets, which is expected to be complete next winter. All aspects of this project, including the ramp, stairs, landscaping and perimeter repaving, were made possible by a gift from Marty and Michele Cohen.
