People on the pier

There are several of these unexplained signs

Bicyclists no longer have to divert onto 12th Ave.
Arriving home late Thursday night I noticed that the Harlem Piers Park opened while I was away. It's a year or two behind schedule, and not all the park is open or finished, but it is finally open.
Currently the best thing about the park is that bicyclists can stay on the bike path and don't have to ride in the heavy and semi-lawless traffic under the Riverside Drive viaduct. Fairway is across the street, so this is going to be a convenient spot to take a break.
There are plans to have a ferry from Weehawken (that's the ramp in the bottom photo) and to open the southernmost pier to kayaks and such.
Trivia question for the older New Yorker and/or Chuck Barris fan: In the middle photo, what did those tall apartment buildings across the river replace?
