    BOROUGH Bronx MAP ID# BX8 COUNCIL DISTRICT: 11, 14 COMMUNITY BOARD: 7, 8 NAME OF PLAN: Jerome Park Reservoir Plan Community Organization: Jerome Park Conservancy Address c/o Office of the President, Lehman College 250 Bedford Park Blvd. Bronx, NY 10468 Contact Name: Anne Marie Garti Phone Number: 718 884-7864 Fax Number 718 884-7864 Website www.lehman.cuny.edu/preservationreport/ TYPE OF PLAN Environmental Restoration Plan GEOGRAPHIC AREA OF PLAN The Jerome Park Reservoir is bounded on the north and west by Sedgwick Avenue, on the southwest by Reservoir Avenue, and on the east by Goulden Avenue. NEIGHBORHOOD/PLAN BACKGROUND The Jerome Park neighborhood is a thriving residential with a large, diverse population, and many culturally and historically significant landmarks. It is located in the Northwest corner of the Bronx. There are several major schools in the area including DeWitt Clinton High School, Bronx High School of Science, and Hunter College (now Lehman College), with 25,000 students attending school around the reservoir. The Kingsbridge Armory, another historic building, is also located near the reservoir. The Jerome Park area was originally designed by renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. A proposal in the mid-1990s by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to construct the Croton Water Treatment Plant on the Jerome Park Reservoir fueled renewed interest in revitalizing the area. Residents believed that the plant would have destroyed the environment, scenic value, and historical significance of the area, as well as jeopardized the health and quality of life of residents and students. GOALS OF PLAN The Jerome Park Conservancy was formed to preserve the beauty and heritage of Jerome Park Reservoir and its surrounding communities by the creation of a 125-acre park comprised of the water and the land around it.
