    ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENTOF PARKS BOROUGH OF THE BRONX CITY OF NEW YORK JOSEPH P. HENNESSY, Commissioner HERALD SQUARE PRESS NEW YORK DEPARTMENT OF PARKS BOROUGH OF 'I'HE BRONX January 30, 1922. Hon. John F. Hylan, Mayor, City of New York. Sir : I submit herewith annual report of the Department of Parks, Borough of The Bronx, for 1921. Respect fully, ANNUAL REPORT-1921 In submitting to your Honor the report of the operations of this depart- ment for 1921, the last year of the first term of your administration, it will . not be out of place to review or refer briefly to some of the most important things accomplished by this department, or that this department was asso- ciated with during the past 4 years. The very first problem presented involved matters connected with the appropriation for temporary use to the Navy Department of 225 acres in Pelham Bay Park for a Naval Station for war purposes, in addition to the 235 acres for which a permit was given late in 1917. A total of 481 one- story buildings of various kinds were erected during 1918, equipped with heating and lighting systems. This camp contained at one time as many as 20,000 men, who came and went constantly. AH roads leading to the camp were park roads and in view of the heavy trucking had to be constantly under inspection and repair. The Navy De- partment took over the pedestrian walk from City Island Bridge to City Island Road, but constructed another cement walk 12 feet wide and 5,500 feet long, at the request of this department, at an expenditure of $20,000.

  • Hutchinson River CSO Long Term Control Plan (LTCP)
    Hutchinson River CSO Long Term Control Plan (LTCP) The Hutchinson River is an area of significant natural resources that provides communities in the Bronx with nature access at Pelham Bay Park as well as other areas along the river. DEP will complete a Long Term Control Plan to better understand how combined sewer overflows (CSOs) affect water quality and related recreational uses in the Hutchinson River waterbody. The goal for the combined sewer overflow Long Term Control Plan is to identify the appropriate controls necessary to achieve waterbody-specific water quality standards, consistent with EPA’s 1994 CSO Policy and subsequent guidance. The Hutchinson River begins in Westchester County, flows through the Bronx into Eastchester Bay Tributary to East River. The Hutchinson River is classified for primary and secondary recreation contact and fishing. The portion of the river within New York City can be affected by pollutant loads originating in the upstream portions of the river located in Westchester County. In anticipation of developing and finalizing the Hutchinson River LTCP, DEP will continue to study and evaluate load reduction alternatives in the Hutchinson River as well as collaborate with DEC to approach multi-jurisdictional issues. In addition, DEP is investing approximately $18 million dollars in Green Infrastructure in the combined sewer areas over the next few years. DEP is investing approximately $18 million dollars in three large projects New York City Housing Authority Retrofit – Edenwald Houses • Impervious area managed:

With its several score of small boats, and several boathouses it is a boating and fishing center on a small scale, a kind of third cousin to the neighboring City Island boating center and other more thiriving shore spots along the Sound. Its small flotilla of boats anchored now for the winter near the City Island Bridge are small craft, some cabin cruisers up to 30 feet, “kickers,” small open boats of different kinds. Hanging onto the shores on both sides of the gravel roadbed which is apparently a causeway are narrow pierways, boathouses which are no more than shacks; and a few hundred feet in from the boathouses, on the north side of the railroad are perhaps half a dozen small frame houses.
