In a GMP/EIS, these different options to fulfill the park’s purpose and achieve a new vision are called management alternatives. Alternatives provide a different focus for the park and emphasize different priorities. All the alternatives meet the park’s purpose, laws, and policies—they just do it in different ways. These alternatives represent the combined planning efforts of NPS staff and the contributions of academic institutions, other government agencies, stakeholder groups, local residents, park users, and interested individuals. Not all ideas and suggestions will be reflected in the alternatives; many are specific actions that could happen as part of This chapter of the implementation of the final GMP/EIS.

  • Neighborhood Profile
    NEIGHBORHOOD PROFILE Downtown Staten Island Downtown Staten Island includes the three historic town centers of St. George, Tompkinsville and Stapleton, where three train stations and multiple bus lines provide easy access to the rest of the borough and are within walking or biking distance of the Staten Island Ferry and points beyond. Islanders relocated the county seat from Historic Richmondtown to St. George to create a new civic center in close proximity to the ferry terminal and train lines just after the city was consolidated in 1898. It was a good idea then, and it is a better idea now, to locate new housing, retail, jobs and services within easy access of existing transit. The Bay Street Corridor, zoned for manufacturing uses since 1961, is located between Tompkinsville Park and Tappan Park. Over $1 billion in public and private investments are under construction or have been announced surrounding and within walking distance of the Bay Street Corridor. The Neighborhood Planning Process is an opportunity to work with the community and ensure that Islanders are once again engaged to help shape their borough's future. The North Shore 2030 Report The North Shore 2030: Improving and Reconnecting the North Shore’s Unique and Historic Assets was a joint effort of the Department of City Planning and Economic Development Corporation released in December 2011. It was the culmination of a collaborative two-year effort among City and State agencies, over 200 local experts – residents, businesses and civic stakeholders – to craft a vision for the North Shore of Staten Island. The final report detailed long-term recommendations necessary to meet the 2030 Vision that will guide public and private investment and land use decisions over the years.
