  • Section Iv Proposed Land and Water Uses and Projects
    SECTION IV PROPOSED LAND AND WATER USES AND PROJECTS Land and Water Uses The City of Rye's land use pattern is well established. The purpose of the land use plan is to insure that future development will be compatible with the present land uses and to implement the local program policies. The four general land use categories that characterize the City's coastal area include: natural open space, park and recreation, waterfront recreation and residential. The Greenhaven-Rye Golf Club Area (Zone 1) Residential use will be maintained in the Greenhaven area, south of Soundview Avenue, a small area north of the Rye City Golf Course, and Hen Island. The Marshlands Conservancy is proposed for natural open space use and is part of the new Conservation District. The other predominate use is the Rye City Golf Course which is proposed for parks and recreational use and is part of the new Waterfront Recreation District. The Marshland Conservancy and Rye City Golf Course are rezoned for conservation and waterfront recreation, respectively The Milton Point-Commercial Waterfront Area (Zone 2) Natural open space encompasses the shoreline areas of Milton Harbor and Long Island Sound. Waterfront recreational use includes membership clubs located at Milton Point which are included in the new Membership Club Zoning District to help maintain existing club properties for recreational use. Waterfront recreational uses also include the waterfront activity at the City Marina, the Rye Fish and Game Club, the Shongut Boat Yard and the Brailsford Company which have been rezoned for Waterfront Business. These properties, including the membership clubs at Milton Point, were zoned for residential use.

  • Annual Listing of Obligated Projects
    NEW YORK METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION COUNCIL ANNUAL LISTING OF OBLIGATED PROJECTS for Federal Fiscal Year 2007 April 29, 2008 Introduction Each and every day, the New York metropolitan region’s transportation system is called upon to efficiently and reliably deliver people and goods to countless destinations within the region and beyond. This vast network of rails, roads, bridges, waterways and trails makes it possible for workers to get to jobs, students and teachers to educational institutions, visitors to attractions and for goods and services to reach consumers. The New York Metropolitan Transportation Council (NYMTC) – a regional council of governments which is the Metropolitan Planning Organization for New York City, Long Island and the Lower Hudson Valley – is the organization responsible under Federal law for undertaking regional transportation planning activities for the New York metropolitan region that lead ultimately to transportation improvement projects. Maintaining and improving the transportation system will require a great deal of investment; more than $568.0 billion (year of expenditure dollars) of needs as identified in NYMTC’s current 2005-2030 Regional Transportation Plan. The challenge will be to find sufficient financial resources to achieve this objective. How Are Projects Planned and Funded? The transportation legislation which authorizes spending nationally for transportation improvements requires metropolitan regions to follow a comprehensive planning process in order to obtain Federal funding for transportation improvements. The foundation of this process is a long-range Regional Transportation Plan which defines the region’s long-term needs and conceptual solutions. Through more detailed study, various specific transportation improvements are then defined using the Plan as a framework.

    Per la diffusione immediata: 18 gennaio 2015 IL GOVERNATORE INVITA ALLA PRUDENZA PER IL MALTEMPO INVERNALE Chi guida nell’area della città di New York dovrà esercitare la massima prudenza Il Governatore Andrew M. Cuomo ha esortato oggi chi sarà alla guida nell’area metropolitana della città di New York a prestare prudenza, poiché le condizioni di ghiaccio stanno rendendo difficoltosa la circolazione in tutta la regione. Poiché il problema riguarda tutta l’area dei tre Stati, gli automobilisti devono dimostrarsi particolarmente attenti fino alla stabilizzazione delle temperature, prevista nel primo pomeriggio. “I newyorkesi devono esercitare la massima prudenza o evitare del tutto gli spostamenti, poiché le strade ghiacciate e le condizioni pericolose sono al momento inevitabili” ha affermato il Governatore Cuomo. “Non mettendosi in viaggio, si eviteranno certamente incidenti inutili e si permetterà alle squadre di intervento attive per la perturbazione di preparare le strade per una circolazione sicura”. Sono in corso attività di intervento, con 215 spazzaneve impegnati a spargere sale sulle strade. Strade chiuse • Beekman, contea di Dutchess - State Hwy 55 tra Dorn Road e U.S. 6 • Putnam Valley, contea di Putnam – Taconic State Parkway tra U.S. Hwy 6 e I-84 • Ramapo, contea di Rockland – Palisades Interstate Parkway a sud dell’uscita 17 Anthony Wayne Recreation Area • Peekskill, contea di Westchester – U.S. Hwy 9 a Welcher Ave • Rye, contea di Westchester – Uscita 19, Playland Parkway • Elmsford, contea di Westchester - Sprain Brook Parkway all’I-287 • Greenburgh, contea di Westchester - Saw Mill River Parkway all’uscita 23, Old Saw Mill River Road Italian • Mount Kisco, contea di Westchester County - Saw Mill River Parkway all’uscita 37, Kisco Avenue Restano tutte aperte: la New York State Thruway (I-87 e I-287), la New England Thruway (I-95) e la Cross Westchester Expressway (I-287).
