Coney Island boardwalk is one step closer to becoming a NYC landmark

The Coney Island boardwalk (officially known as the Riegelmann Boardwalk) is now closer to becoming a NYC landmark. In its weekly meeting today, the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) voted to calendar the boardwalk and its elements-including light fixtures, railings, Steeplechase Pier, its comfort stations, and the sand below the walkway-which puts it on the path to becoming Brooklyn's fourth scenic landmark.
