  • Parks, Recreation and Trails Master Plan 2010
    DEPARTMENT of PARKS AND RECREATION PARKS, RECREATION AND TRAILS MASTER PLAN 2010 Last updated in November 2017 “Parks are a cherished resource for Sandpoint residents and outdoor recreation plays an important role in residents’ lives. The goals and policies in this plan seek to increase access to those existing parks, provide for more parks and create viable, multimodal connections between neighborhood parks. All participants in the planning process wanted nearby, accessible parks, recognizing the recreational, social and natural opportunities such features provide. Given the City’s prominent location on one of the region’s most beautiful lakes, goals in this plan support increased public access to the shoreline in the form of parks and trail systems, and an overall growth pattern respecting the importance of Lake Pend Oreille as a public space.” – Sandpoint Comprehensive Plan 2009 CITY OF SANDPOINT 1123 Lake Street Sandpoint, ID 83864 T 208.263.3613 F 208.263.3678 [email protected] www.cityofsandpoint.com ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Special Thanks We would like to thank the many citizens, staff and community groups who provided extensive input for the development of the Parks, Recreation and Trails Master Plan.

  • Chapter 1: Background and Planning Context
    Chapter 1: Background and Planning Context 1.1 INTRODUCTION Metro-North Commuter Railroad Company (“Metro-North” or the “Project Sponsor”) is proposing the construction of a new, expanded parking garage at 50 Haarlem Avenue (formerly referred to as 525 North Broadway) in White Plains, Westchester County, New York. The Project Sponsor is seeking a Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) grant from the Federal Transit Administration for the design and construction of the proposed garage (the “Proposed Action”). The purpose of the Proposed Action is to accommodate the projected future demand for parking at the North White Plains railroad station, allowing Metro-North to better serve its existing customers and to accommodate future railroad customers. The provision of adequate parking at this location would encourage the use of mass transit at a station that has frequent service. 1.2 PROJECT LOCATION The Proposed Action is located on the site of the existing customer parking garage at 50 Haarlem Avenue between Glenn and Bond Streets in the City of White Plains. It would be sited to the east and across Haarlem Avenue from the existing North White Plains station (see Figure 1-1). 1.2.1 EXISTING STATION The North White Plains railroad station is located along Metro-North’s Harlem Line on Haarlem Avenue west of New York State Route 22 (Route 22) and east of the Bronx River Parkway, about ¼ mile north of Interstate 287 (I-287), in the northern section of the City of White Plains, Westchester County, New York (see Figure 1-2). The station is located near the municipal boundaries of the City of White Plains and the Towns of North Castle and Greenburgh.

    May 25, 2013 Karen Thornton, American Viticultural Area Designations Regulations and Rulings Division Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau 1310 G Street NW Washington DC, 20220 [email protected] Dear Ms. Thornton, Please find included here a revised petition for the declaration of a new American Viticultural Area, entitled the Champlain Valley AVA. This petition was created on behalf of the Lake Champlain Grape Growers Association. I previously included an endorsement from our local congressional representative, Bill Owens, whose interest is in the economic development of this region and through his participation as a member of the House Agricultural Committee. Finally, I include a set of USGS maps that define the trail. I believe I have addressed the items you have requested in this revise and resubmit. Most importantly, I provided extensive climatological data to show how this region is differentiated from the Adirondack and western foothills region to the west, the Hudson Valley to the south, and Vermont to the east. Each of these regions has a growing season averaging two weeks longer than we do, and hence can grow the Vitis vinifera grapes that cannot be grown in this proposed region. Hence, the characteristic of grapes in the proposed region is almost exclusively North American hybrid. It is this factor that most profoundly defines and differentiates our proposed region. Should you need any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Best regards, Colin Read North Star Vineyard 1383 North Star Road, Mooers, NY, 12958 Telephone 518-561-3828 Email [email protected] Regulations and Rulings Division Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau 1310 G Street NW Washington DC, 20220 A Petition to the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau of the Department of the Treasury to Establish the: Champlain Valley AVA (American Viticultural Area) Submitted by: An Association of Wineries in the Champlain Valley of New York State (1)Name Evidence [i] Name Usage The name of the viticultural area described is the Champlain Valley of New York.

  • Pavement Preservation Program 2015-2016 Project Solicitation
    Adirondack / Glens Falls Transportation Council Pavement Preservation Program 2015‐2016 Project Solicitation Introduction The Adirondack / Glens Falls Transportation Council is the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Planning and Programming Area that includes Warren County, Washington County, and the Town of Moreau and Village of South Glens Falls In Saratoga County. MPOs are responsible for administering a cooperative and continuing regional transportation planning process. A principal component of that process is capital programming for federally‐ funded transportation improvement projects. A/GFTC is seeking project candidates for its Pavement Preservation Program. This program consists of annual funding setasides dedicated for maintenance and preservation projects intended to prevent the deterioration of roadways that are presently in good to fair condition. The intent of the program is to encourage municipalities to actively engage in preventative maintenance strategies that reduce the need for more costly infrastructure replacement and major rehabilitation projects. Programming Levels A/GFTC has programmed $1,591,000 in matched federal Surface Transportation Program funds for pavement preservation projects that are to be obligated during Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2015‐2016. Additionally, $164,000 in matched funds has been programmed for FFY 2014‐2015 for any required design associated with the selected projects. A local match of 20% is required in order to access design and construction funds. The potential availability of Marchiselli funding, a State program that covers 75% of the required local match for federal aid transportation projects, could reduce the required local match to 5% of the overall project cost. Eligible Roadways All projects must be sponsored by a local municipality (Village, City, Town or County).
