Planning Board Meeting Tonight
Gossips just received a reminder from The Valley Alliance that the Planning Board was meeting tonight at 6:00 p.m. at the Central Fire Station, 77 North Seventh Street, and that they--Sam Pratt and Peter Jung--would be making a presentation. The reminder was accompanied by this image, which was created last spring to mark the opening of Hudson River Skywalk, linking the Thomas Cole House and Olana.
The caption Pratt and Jung added to the image pointed out something I hadn't noticed before: "State visualization of the Hudson River above Hudson and Catskill. . . . Notice what they did not include at the Waterfront?"
If you can't see it, here's the detail.
Of course, the visualization doesn't include Henry Hudson Riverfront Park either.

What's the point of this post if not to feed the idiotic fantasy that the landowner's rights and interests will somehow, magically, disappear?
ReplyDeleteFor the more realistic among us less prone to pied pipers, the popular fantasy of taking the land by eminent domain badly damaged our waterfront efforts in 2011. There were just too many who believed it was a credible solution, the same people who took an unwarranted break from an ongoing process.
Will these newcomers now update the same proven errors? To anyone selling that same nonsense in new bottles, you will doom our waterfront for sure.
To take a shot at responding to the quiz question, it appears that the Colarusso facilities are missing.
ReplyDeleteExactly Steve, and for a decade and more that's been the dissipating dream of losers.
DeleteNow later, and following the presentations, the presenters (who are unknown to me) didn't pursue the concept of eminent domain. Good.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet, I still feel that everyone's thinking is clouded by a fundamental rejection of the concept of private property rights. It cannot help anyone's comprehension of the immediate problem if, at the same time, we're lashing out at one of the foundations of our civilization. As a largely unconscious content, that further closes our minds to a workable solution.
Similarly, we're fooling ourselves to think that the No Action Alternative is any kind of solution. I heard that and just shook my head.
Frankly, I was expecting something more meaty. Without exploring serious options we risk having our lawyers move in independently to seek a deal on our behalves.
You know that's not only happened in Hudson before, it's happened with these very same lawyers!!!
what about the missing power lines? Always such a lovely sight, how could they have forgotten?
