The document outlines plans by Bronx Beautiful for a new project called the Harlem River Waterfront Line. The project aims to activate underused public spaces along the Harlem River waterfront through temporary cultural events and programs during the summer of 2011. It identifies 7 programmable sites along the waterfront that will host pop-up events like movies, dances, activities, and recreational opportunities to spark awareness and diverse use of the waterfront spaces.
