  • 5 IMPLEMENTATION Implementation of the Hudson River Valley Greenway Trail Is an Ongoing Process
    5 IMPLEMENTATION Implementation of the Hudson River Valley Greenway Trail is an ongoing process. The existing hiking, biking and water trail routes can continue to be improved and promoted, while the multi-use path will require a significant level of new planning, design and capital investment. In the past 25 years, the Greenway has developed grass-roots and local government support for these efforts, providing an excellent foundation for the next generation of the trail system. The following actions are recommended for the ongoing success of the HRVG: 1. Continue promoting the Water Trail: this is the most direct connection to the river, and can be marketed without significant capital improvements to promote the whole Greenway. 2. Upgrade the existing Hiking Trails: The continuous hiking trail can be achieved with alignments closer to the river - and many of these key connections are already in progress. With the new TZ bridge path and the Walkway over the Hudson, a loop hiking trail can connect both sides of the river in the lower half of the valley. 3. Improve the on-road Bike Routes: the currently signed NYS Bike Route 9 is a challenging route and is limited to experienced cyclists. Improving signage, paved shoulders, bike lanes, bike parking and Amtrak access will all support increased use along the route. Both the PTNY and West Side routes are not currently designated, but they can be improved to create on-road routes on both sides of the river. 4. Develop the continuous Hudson River Valley Greenway Trail trunk line: the efforts of the past decades have led to significant new potential to create a continuous multi-use path the length of the Hudson River Valley from Manhattan to the Adirondacks.

  • Appendices Section
    APPENDIX 1. A Selection of Biodiversity Conservation Agencies & Programs A variety of state agencies and programs, in addition to the NY Natural Heritage Program, partner with OPRHP on biodiversity conservation and planning. This appendix also describes a variety of statewide and regional biodiversity conservation efforts that complement OPRHP’s work. NYS BIODIVERSITY RESEARCH INSTITUTE The New York State Biodiversity Research Institute is a state-chartered organization based in the New York State Museum who promotes the understanding and conservation of New York’s biological diversity. They administer a broad range of research, education, and information transfer programs, and oversee a competitive grants program for projects that further biodiversity stewardship and research. In 1996, the Biodiversity Research Institute approved funding for the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to undertake an ambitious inventory of its lands for rare species, rare natural communities, and the state’s best examples of common communities. The majority of inventory in state parks occurred over a five-year period, beginning in 1998 and concluding in the spring of 2003. Funding was also approved for a sixth year, which included all newly acquired state parks and several state parks that required additional attention beyond the initial inventory. Telephone: (518) 486-4845 Website: www.nysm.nysed.gov/bri/ NYS DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION The Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) biodiversity conservation efforts are handled by a variety of offices with the department. Of particular note for this project are the NY Natural Heritage Program, Endangered Species Unit, and Nongame Unit (all of which are in the Division of Fish, Wildlife, & Marine Resources), and the Division of Lands & Forests.
