1. Starting in Battery Park, begin to replace necessary subway grates with elevated grates. Seal up grates that prove to be unnecessary. Repeat this process moving uptown until we reach Canal Street. Begin training MTA employees to effectively use the inflatable plugs. Aim to have research pertaining to the plugs completed by 2015, then start to equip subway tunnels with the plugs, placing subway stations located closest to the water at a higher priority. Have researchers evaluate lower Manhattan and what changes must be made to accommodate elevated subway entrances. Then, conduct a survey of every lower Manhattan train station’s proximity to the shore to determine order of implementation. Stations that are most susceptible to flooding will be the first stations to be elevated
