I visit NYC (one of the greatest cities in the world, IMHO) at least 2 times a year for business, and I am always shocked at how the transport system has fallen behind compared to many cities in other developed nations.

I seriously doubt an extended waterfront walkway will make a difference with commute times and congestion. It isn't like you can't walk/bike this distance already.
And NYC's overall transport network has been lagging for 70 years, primarily due to very stupid decisions made after WW2. Has nothing really to do with any changes in recent decades.
