The city's plan to revitalize Coney Island will begin the seven-month public review process today, starting with the Department of City Planning.

Along the way, the $2.5 billion plan will go before the community board, the borough president, the planning commission and the City Council.

The city wants to create a 27-acre indoor and outdoor amusement park, 4,500 housing units, hotels and a retail district.

The city is also battling over the future of Coney Island with developer Joe Sitt, the largest landowner in the area.
