Hudson River Blog

Created by a sophomore seminar at Hamilton College, this blog considers the past, present, and future of the Hudson River, once described by Robert Boyle as "the most beautiful, messed up, productive, ignored, and surprising piece of water on the face of the earth."

Compromise in Yonkers

A good example of the negotiation process between developer, government, and environmental group.

It is also a good example of a city with a vision to protect the waterfront for everyone’s use that will indeed make the city more desirable in the long run. The article states that “every waterfront developer is required to leave public access as the city strives eventually to create an esplanade that stretches the entire 4.5 miles of the city's Hudson River edge.” This automatically provides for public space and public access to the Hudson, no matter how many developments are built. As Prof. Eismeier said, it is good to see different groups coming to a compromise.
