Photo by Jim Henderson Built as part of the old Croton Aqueduct system in 1848, High Bridge is the city’s oldest bridge connecting two boroughs. Spanning the Harlem River and connecting the area around West 170th Street in the Bronx to the area around West 173rd in Manhattan, it is an engineering marvel designed by American engineer John B. Jervis. Jer- vis succeeded Benjamin Wright as the chief engineer on the Delaware & Hudson Canal. Prior to the construction, the water supply of New York City was dependent on private wells, water carts, rain barrels and cisterns. Repeated cholera epidemics caused terror and death. The Great Fire of 1835 had leveled most of lower Manhattan. Perhaps worse yet to some, the beer brewing industry had already packed up and relocated further north to Albany seeking water of pure quality.

  • View, on the Opposite Bank, of Columbia’S Baker Athletics Complex
    Arts & Humanities Urban History and the Harlem River A class explores Manhattan’s neglected waterway. By Paul Hond | Winter 2019-20 Duane Bailey-Castro. On a recent Wednesday, Scot McFarlane, a Columbia doctoral candidate in history who teaches a course called Rivers, Politics, and Power in the United States, shepherded ten undergrads onto the number 1 train headed uptown. The train emerged above ground in Inwood, rattled across the Broadway Bridge, and discharged McFarlane’s class at 225th Street in Marble Hill, the first stop on the other side of the Harlem River. The students were met by Duane Bailey-Castro ’17TC, a teacher and photographer whose Instagram photos of Harlem River bridges had caught McFarlane’s eye. McFarlane had asked Bailey-Castro to lead the group on a tour. Wearing a white shirt, dark tie, glasses, and a bulging knapsack, Bailey-Castro, who grew up in the South Bronx, took the class to the nearby Metro-North platform, which afforded a view, on the opposite bank, of Columbia’s Baker Athletics Complex. Bailey-Castro explained that this part of the waterway had been unnavigable until the late nineteenth century, when the Harlem River Ship Canal was created to fully link the Hudson and Harlem Rivers. As a result of the construction, Marble Hill, once attached to Manhattan, is now on the Bronx side of the canal — “the only part of Manhattan that’s on the mainland,” Bailey-Castro said. Bailey-Castro showed drawings and photos of the eight-mile-long Harlem River, which branches from the East River at Randall’s Island, curves along the tapering horn of Upper Manhattan, and bends westward at the island’s tip in an almost horizontal path to the Hudson.

(“Scenic Hudson”) urges the United States Coast Guard (“USCG”) to halt the proposed rulemaking to establish ten new anchorage grounds in the Hudson River between Yonkers, New York and Kingston, New York (Docket No. USCG-2016-0132). If, despite all the reasons set forth below, the USCG continues with the rulemaking process, it must conduct environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”), including preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (“EIS”). I. INTRODUCTION Scenic Hudson is a non-profit environmental organization based in Poughkeepsie, New York, working to protect and restore the Hudson River and its majestic landscape as an irreplaceable national treasure and a vital resource for residents and visitors. A crusader for the valley since 1963, we are credited with saving fabled Storm King Mountain from a destructive industrial project and launching the modern grass-roots environmental movement. Today with more than 25,000 ardent supporters, we are the largest environmental group focused on the Hudson River Valley. Our team of experts combines land acquisition, support for agriculture, citizen-based advocacy and sophisticated planning tools to create environmentally healthy communities, champion smart economic growth, open up riverfronts to the public and preserve the valley’s inspiring beauty and natural resources. To date Scenic Hudson has created or 1 enhanced more than 65 parks, preserves and historic sites up and down the Hudson River and conserved almost 40,000 acres in the Hudson Valley.
