Channel: Key from the City is an offering of water made to each NYC Mayoral candidate. It is a gesture that embodies the power citizens give—and trust they place—in their elected officials. It reminds candidates of two realities: the first is that power is fluid and dynamic. The second is the central and critical role that the waterways play in every facet of the city’s life and future. Each candidate’s willingness to accept the offering and pledge to heed New Yorkers’  voices represented in the next Comprehensive Waterfront Plan, and thereby tend the city’s edges will demonstrate their understanding of New York City as a city of water.
