Length?[edit]

The length of Coney Island Creek is given as as anything from 1.5[1] to 2 miles. The length seems to have changed due to land-filling in Gravesend Bay extending the "mouth" of "Coney Island Creek". This chart[2] labels Coney Island Creek past those landfills out to Coney Island Creek Park. If that and Calvert Vaux Park park mark the current mouth of the creek then it measures out to 1.8 miles. If anyone can give a better referenced figure please add it. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 19:43, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Coney Island Creek Resiliency Study, New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) - 2016.07.08, pages 14-15 gives an exact definition of the creek as 1.8 miles divided into 5 reaches with the Shell road head of the Creek being Reach 1 and the mouth of the Creek at the west end of Coney Island Creek Park and Calvert Vaux Park park being Reach 5. Seems authoritative. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 16:00, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
