DATE: August 29, 2024 On August 28th, 2024, the Waterfront Advisory Committee (WAC) reviewed for consistency with the Village’s Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) the referral listed above. Based on the Committee’s review of the 44 LWRP policies, the Waterfront Advisory Committee made a recommendation of consistency with the LWRP. The WAC reviewed the Short Environmental Assessment Form and determined that there were no changes necessary. The WAC reviewed the Coastal Assessment Form and no changes were noted. The committee reviewed the 44 LWRP policies and determined that the following policy is relevant: POLICY 19: Encourage the linkage of open space from upland areas to and along the Hudson and Croton Rivers in the form of a trail or walkway system. POLICY 19A: Encourage the linkage of open space from upland areas to and along the Hudson and Croton Rivers in the form of a trail or walkway system.

POLICY 23: Protect, enhance, and restore structures, districts, areas, or sites that are of significance in the history, architecture, archaeology or culture of the State, its communities, or the Nation. The committee reviewed LWRP Section IV – Proposed land uses and projects and determined that the following were relevant: PROJECT 5: Improve Echo Canoe Launch and Village-Owned land at the southern end of the train station parking lot. This project supports the continued improvement of this recreational area to enhance public access to the Croton River and Bay and the Hudson River. PROJECT 7: Facilitate access to the Hudson River Waterfront. A recurring comment from public input during the LWRP process and prior plans was the need to improve access to the Hudson River waterfront for vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists.

PROJECT 10: Undertake management and capital improvement plan for Village parks, trains, open spaces and memorials. PROJECT 11: Develop plan for future use of Gouveia Park.
