RGR Landscape worked with the Hudson River Park Trust to design the esplanade paving system as well as the bulkhead and pier railing systems for all seven segments of the park, which extends for approximately four miles along Manhattan’s west side waterfront. This unique railing system features a four-inch diameter Pau Lope handrail with glass bead finish stainless steel intermediate rails and posts. The railing system also incorporates matching stainless steel “lighthouse” bollards at regular intervals. The RGR design team worked with the manufacturer to develop compatible railing and bollard finishes as well as a blue LED light source for the bollard luminaire.
