Imagine...
Revitalized housing and inviting sidewalks leading to a Community Center with a small marina at a waterfront park on Market Street… Upscale housing for the 55 and older crowd on Franklindale Ave… Historic lighting, pocket parks with a lighted and visible waterfall in a thriving business district… Shade trees lining South Avenue with improved sidewalks and crosswalks leading to Village green spaces and playgrounds.
Those are some of the ideas that planners heard from Village residents and business people at the February 18th Waterfront Revitalization Public Visioning Workshop.
Was This Necessary?
Earlier this week three mature and seemingly healthy trees along East Main Street at Zion Park were cut down by a Central Hudson work crew. The crew was apparently given written permission by the Zion Church to cut down the trees.
