district, along with interviews with area stakeholders and policy
experts. The film will be followed by a presentation
by Robert LaValva, founder and director of New Amsterdam Market,
about the role of waterfront markets in sparking urban revitalization.
The program will conclude with a roundtable discussion-reflecting
new opportunities for the future of the Seaport District with

 All Aboard! Army Corps of Engineers
Gathers Waterfront Leaders to Discuss
Fulfilling the Comprehensive Restoration Plan
A stellar group of waterfront leaders boarded the drift collection vessel Hayward on Monday, Sept. 21, to tour New York Harbor, courtesy of the Army Corps of Engineers. The gathering was an opportunity for elected officials and environmental executives to discuss the restoration opportunities and challenges of the local ecosystem.
Conversations revolved around the draft Comprehensive Restoration Plan for New York Harbor/Hudson-Raritan Estuary (CRP), recently released by the Corps. This plan, a collaborative effort among academia,
non-governmental organizations, and federal, state and local government
agencies, sets forth a vision of a restored estuary with an overall goal to "develop a mosaic of habitats that provide society with renewed and increased
benefits from the estuary environment."
"We're tryng to achieve a better balance -- economic prosperity with nature, commerce with recreation," said Col. John R. Boul� II, who co-hosted the gathering with Col. Duke Deluca. Lisa Baron, project manager for the CRP, reminded the group, "It will take a lot of cooperation going forward."
Jim Tierney, assistant commissioner of the State Dept. of Environmental Conservation was aboard, as was Richard Larrabee, director of port commerce for the Port Authority of NY/NJ; Barry Sullivan, superintendent of Gateway National Recreation Area; Frank Gallagher, NJ Dept. of Environmental Protection administrator of Liberty State Park; Connie Fishman, president of the Hudson River Park Trust; Marie Salerno, president of the National Parks of New York Harbor; Steve Lawitts, acting commissioner of the NYC Dept. of Environmental Protection; Deborah Mans, executive director of NY/NJ Baykeeper; Roland Lewis, president of the Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance, and many more leaders in the effort to move forward wisely at the waterfront.

Tell City Officials Where the Blue Highway Should Connect At Manhattan's Shoreline
 Final Town Hall Meeting on
Ferry Landings Set for Oct. 5
At right are existing and proposed ferry landing sites in Manhattan. Are there any sites that have been overlooked?
Give your input at the fourth and final town hall meeting on October 5 to discuss the future of NYC ferry service, and, specifically, the location of Manhattan ferry landings. Sponsored by the City Council, the Economic Development Corp. and the City Department of Transportation, the meeting is part of the Comprehensive Citywide Ferry Study that aims to expand ferry service around the city. Other recent town hall meetings have drawn crowds of people eager for expanded ferry service.
The study will conclude next month, after the most
promising sites have been evaluated according to infrastructure
conditions, market demand and financial feasibility. "Depending on a number of factors -- the top concern
being the economic climate -- we will begin negotiations for
implementing new service in the coming months," City Council staffer Andrew Doba told WaterWire last month.
The final town hall meeting will take place at the Hunter School of Social Work, 129 E. 79th Street, from 5:30pm to 7:30pm, on October 5. For details and to RSVP, contact [email protected] or call 212-788-9221.

Environmental Protection Agency Announces New Guidelines for Coastal Cities
How to retrofit waterfront properties for new uses? How to align planning for natural hazards with new development? How to expand transportation options? The answers lie in the concept of "Smart Growth"
"Smart Growth" is a popular planning theory that encourages equitable development, values sustainability and advocates for compact, livable neighborhoods with convenient transportation options. Applied to coastal cities, where development interest is especially high, the Smart Growth approach promotes livability while protecting natural resources and planning for climate change.
Working with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Rhode Island Sea Grant, the International City/County Management Association and the Smart Growth Network, the Environmental Protection Agency has published a new guide called Smart Growth for Coastal and Waterfront Communities. The guide was announced at the H209 Forum on September 9 and 10 that celebrated the 400th anniversary of the arrival of Henry
Hudson to New York Harbor and convened stakeholders from New York, New Jersey and the Netherlands to discuss
water challenges facing coastal cities around the world.
Smart Growth for Coastal and Waterfront Communities offers 10 specific development guidelines, with case studies illustrating
the guidelines in action. Download the document here. Click here to get to the page on the EPA web site that presents the 10 basic Smart Growth development guidelines. Click here to get to the page on the NOAA web site devoted specifically to coastal and waterfront Smart Growth.

Help the National Park Service Plan the Future of Gateway National Recreation Area
At the edge of one of the world's great metropolises, Gateway National Recreation Area offers 40 square miles of biologically diverse wetlands and beautiful beaches in three park units: Jamaica Bay, Sandy Hook and coastal areas of Staten Island.
Rich in history, Gateway also is home to America's oldest operating lighthouse -- the Sandy Hook Light, first lit in 1764 -- and three landmark forts, all open to the public. Fort
Wadsworth, a military site on Staten Island at the entrance to the
Harbor since the 1600s, has been a federally controlled fort since the War of
1812. Fort Hancock was built in 1895 at Sandy Hook. Fort Tilden was built in 1917 at Jamaica Bay.
The National Park Service is writing a new General Management Plan for Gateway National Recreation Area, one that will guide park operations and protection of its resources for the next 20 years. "Local people forget that these are national parks," said Gateway Superintendent Barry Sullivan, who happened to be enjoying New York Harbor aboard the Army Corps of Engineers' drift collection vessel Hayward on the morning of September 21. "We are working to complement New York City parks."
"We're trying to balance the three missions of Gateway: the historic, the environmental and the recreational," he continued. His own focus, he said, is communicating the major impact that climate change and sea level rise will have on the coastline, and then using this knowledge to shape long-range plans by the National Park Service for financial investment. "We have to make sure to make the right investment in terms of capital improvements," he said.
This is the start of a four-year process for the development of the General Management Plan for Gateway National Recreation Area. The process will look at challenges facing the park, ideas for protecting the natural areas and historic sites, and a discussion of appropriate recreational and educational programs. "Scoping," the first step, is in progress. Open houses for the public to give input and voice concerns are being being held this week:
- Tuesday, September 22, 3pm-8pm, Fort Wadsworth, Staten Island
- Wednesday,
September 23, 3pm-8pm, Floyd Bennett Field, Brooklyn
- Thursday, September 24, 3pm-8pm, Fort Hancock, Sandy Hook
- Saturday, September
26, 1pm-5pm, World War Veterans Park at Miller Field, Staten Island
- Sunday, September 27, 3pm-8pm,
Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center
If you can't make it to one of these meetings, you may submit your comments by mail or email. Click here for a list of topic questions as well as a link to download the Gateway National Recreation Area newsletter, which is full of helpful information about the process and the parkland itself.

Touch the Water at Harlem River Park
New section, from 139th to 145th Streets, offers grass, seating,
trees, boulders, murals by local artists and steps down into the water
 In what is hoped will be a prototype of water's edge design around NYC, the newly opened section of Harlem River Park features boulders to climb on and steps down into the water.
The date of the official ribbon-cutting has yet to be determined, but the new six-block section that ends at 145th Street is open now. "Nearly
20 years after community resident Richard Toussaint voiced his dream of
a waterfront park along the Manhattan side of the Harlem River, Harlem
River Park now has three phases open, stretching from 132nd to 145th
streets. The Harlem River Park Task Force, formed by Harlem Community
Development Corporation in 2001 to help expedite and shape this vision,
has been instrumental in building community and citywide support for
this environmentally and culturally sensitive addition to a waterfront
greenway that will someday surround all of Manhattan," Thomas Lunke,
director of the task force, told WaterWire.
Planning for the new section of Harlem River Park involved the State Dept. of State, the City Dept. of Parks & Recreation and the Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance, which guided the partnership to create the environmentally sensitive shoreline. The process was called Designing the Edge. Read more about it here.
Eventually, Harlem River Park will extend south of 132nd Street to 125th Street, connecting with the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway. North of 145th Street is land occupied by Esplanade Gardens Housing. According to the Dept. of City Planning web site, "West 145th Street to West 150th Street along the Harlem River is leased
by the City to Esplanade Gardens Housing, which currently uses the
waterfront for parking and garbage dumpsters. Though Esplanade Gardens
has so far not been amenable to the suggestion of rearranging its
parking lot to accommodate a greenway,the City is confident that an agreement can be reached and a shared-use path will be implemented in the near future."
One question about the toe-dipping. How clean is the Harlem River, we asked Mr. Lunke. He was honest. "The
water quality is improving, but it is still polluted with several sewer
overflow outlets dumping raw waste into the river every time there is a heavy
rain," he answered.

Maritime History Meets Green Technology
Students sail the New Clermont up the Hudson on hydrogen fuel
Recreating the famous voyage made 200 years ago by Robert Fulton in his steamboat Clermont, a group of Rensselaer Polytechnic Insitute students set out on Monday, September 21 in a boat called New Clermont to sail 160 miles from New York City to RPI's home base in Troy, NY. But while Fulton sought to prove the viability of steam power to the world, the New Clermont is powered by two hydrogen fuel cells. The students' mission: to showcase the potential of hydrogen as a clean fuel that produces no emissions.
Above, Casey Hoffman, a doctoral student in mechanical engineering who is part of the crew. Click here to read a day-by-day blog of the students' adventures. Below is an excerpt, written by Will Gathright on September 21. - When Robert Fulton took James Watt's steam engine and built a boat
around it, I don't suppose either man knew what they had created. Two
hundred years later their legacy lives on in the din of automobile
traffic and the roar of marine motors. These devices provide the muscle
that powers the hustle and the bustle. While it is difficult to imagine
life without them, they have also led to the internal combustion engine
and menacing specters of oil dependence and of climate change.
This morning we began to retrace the original voyage of Fulton's
steamboat The Clermont. We too began from Manhattan, at Pier 84 where
our boat was dwarfed by the Carnival cruise ships and the waves were
nearly breaking over our bow, and set north up the Hudson River. Fulton
stopped at Albany, but as students at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
we will continue about 10 miles further into the town of Troy, where
the school is located.
Unlike Fulton we aren't burning anything. Our craft, The New
Clermont, is powered by two fuel cell power systems (on loan to us from
Plug Power Inc.) and compressed hydrogen gas. The original Clermont
burned anything she could get her hands on - even driftwood that came
down the river - and spewed fire from her stacks.
The students have had great success in boosting awareness of hydrogen fuel as a clean power source for transportation. Click here to read a Scientific American blog on the adventure.

programs and underwrites the
advocacy that has helped keep the Island open.
