The Riverside Park Conservancy has announced in an email that the reconstruction of the 83rd Street staircase has been completed, and it is now open.
The project — funded entirely by the Conservancy thanks to a private gift — involved “pouring a new concrete base for each step and landing, repointing the stone walls, installing new bluestone pavers, and capping it off with a new handrail.”
Here’s a before and after:

How many years until the treads shift? 5? 10?
Good job but the bannister has got to go! That wasn’t the original design and shouldn’t have been there. It’s cheap looking too.
You mean the central rail?
Good luck.
Never mind those who have difficulty navigating stairs without some support.
Great job. Thank you!
