Maintaining natural river flows below water supply reservoirs is inherently complicated, and requires a difficult balance between human demands and sustainable flows to conserve a river’s ecological health. ADDRESS DRAINAGE SYSTEMS THAT LEAD TO EROSION ON STEEP SLOPES. The objective of this project is to promote activities that will control soil erosion and sedimentation 2 |caused by stormwater runoff. These issues are most significant along the steep banks of the Croton FACILITATE UPGRADES TO CATCH BASINS AND OUTFALLS TO ADDRESS FLOATABLES IN CROTON BAY. 3 |The intent of this project is to control stormwater runoff discharges and other pollutants from entering Croton Bay. Protecting the ecological health of Croton Bay and River is a priority for the Village. FACILITATE UPGRADES TO CROTON-HARMON PARKING LOT TO ADDRESS FLOATABLES IN CROTON BAY. 4 |The parking facility is currently overwhelmed by asphalt paving with rows of cars. There is minimal landscaping or greenery, and in certain areas, parking directly abuts wetland areas in the Croton Bay. The Village should consider implementing green infrastructure within the parking lot in order to capture runoff onsite and reduce sewer overflows. IMPROVE ECHO CANOE LAUNCH AND VILLAGE-OWNED LAND AT THE SOUTHERN END OF THE TRAIN STATION PARKING LOT. 5 |This project supports the continued improvement of this recreational area to enhance public access to the Croton River and Bay and the Hudson River. RELOCATE VILLAGE DPW FACILITY, SALT SHED AND MATERIAL STORAGE AREA. The DPW operates a salt storage shed at the southern end of the Croton-Harmon parking lot. There is also an uncovered storage area near the salt shed for rocks and other construction materials which can leach directly into Croton Bay from the facility.

Although there have been some improvements such as the Brook Street pedestrian bridge, in general, access to the waterfront is limited, and difficult in some locations. FACILITATE CROTON YACHT CLUB/CROTON LANDING IMPROVEMENTS. The concept of a waterfront restaurant, or another use at the southern end of Croton Landing Park, adjacent to the Croton Yacht Club, has been discussed by the Village for years. | Parking is also an issue as there is already insufficient on-site parking at Croton Landing Park to | satisfy demand during busy hours. —_ | ee ee _ 7 7 2 IMPLEMENT SEGMENT OF RIVERWALK TRAIL FROM CROTON LANDING PARK TO OSCAWANA COUNTY PARK. | . According to the Hudson River Trailway Plan (2003), Westchester County has proposed a 1-mile | trail along the Hudson River that would connect Croton Landing Park with Oscawana County Park in Cortlandt. This trail would fill a gap between the RiverWalk trails at these two parks. ; _ ; ; ; | UNDERTAKE MANAGEMENT AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN FOR | | VILLAGE PARKS, TRAILS, OPEN SPACES AND MEMORIALS. 10 |This project supports the creation of a Parks Maintenance and Capital Improvement Plan | to address ongoing care and protection of existing parks, open spaces, and trails.

DEVELOP PLAN FOR FUTURE USE OF GOUVEIA PARK | | The purpose of this project is for the Village to create a conceptual plan that will examine how to 11 |best utilize the Gouveia Park, a 15.63-acre site acquired by the Village. | Page 12
