In 2018, a group from the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation at Columbia University created eight design ideas for Oakdale Lake. In 2021, students from Pratt Institute's School of Architecture and Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation proposed ideas for reimagining Hudson's waterfront. 

Now a group from the Yale School of Architecture is doing a project on Hudson, which focuses in part on the waterfront. To assist in this effort, Sam Pratt created a timeline of Hudson history. That timeline can be found here. 

The timeline is the focus of a post by Donna Streitz, of Our Hudson Waterfront, which is featured on imby.com today: "A Clear Lesson from Waterfront History." The following is quoted from that post:

The timeline makes clear that Hudson's waterfront has played a central role in the city's economic, cultural, and civic development far beyond the shoreline itself. Today, that legacy is at risk following the Hudson Planning Board's 2025 approval of a Conditional Use Permit for the dock--owned and operated by A. Colarusso & Sons since 2014--that imposes no limit on truck volume and allows weekend operation.
