A "revival" is underway on the peninsula. New residential development plans have led to massive building projects in Arverne By the Sea and Arverne East. Far Rockaway Shopping Center is next on the list, with community leaders working to rehabilitate the mostly-empty retail strip mall.

 This underutilized roadway under the elevated a train line has been recognized as another space of opportunity, to promote safer and healthier modes of transportation, economic development and public events. Dubbed Project Underway, it is a community initiative which challenges us to think creatively about the function of our streets, not only for cares, but for people.
