Tonight the Municipal Art Society will present the public ideas for Coney Island, as well as outline their ideas for revitalization (a preview from tonight's meeting after the jump). MAS President Vin Cipolla said that “The extraordinary array of ImagineConey submissions from the public is a reminder of Coney Island's unique potential as New York's great waterfront destination. Building on the City’s work so far, we must take the steps necessary to realize that potential and create a truly original destination and economic engine for New Yorkers and tourists alike.”

The year is shaping up to be another crazy one for Coney Island, and tomorrow the Municipal Art Society will release even more re-imagined renderings of the area (you may recall the, um, interesting ones from November). Now they promise 300+ public ideas, and steps to revitalize the area. The MAS "will present the results of its ImagineConey project at a public meeting. The presentation will include highlights of the 300 concepts generated by the public, as well as specific recommendations from charette participants." If you want to be a part of the future of Coney, or just want to look at the crazy and colorful pictures, head to the Our Lady of Solace Church on Mermaid Avenue tomorrow. More details here, but check out Curbed for a look at some of the weird visions before you commit!

    

The Municipal Art Society (MAS) had their intense redesign Coney Island workshop at the end of last week, and as promised they've released their ideas to the public today. The concept and design is portrayed in the renderings above (so many robots and clowns!), and MAS says "The concept, which would include a variety of indoor and outdoor facilities, can be implemented immediately (Summer 2009) and would take advantage of the parcels of undeveloped land in Coney Island, much of which is now vacant or operating as street-level parking."
