  • About Fresh Kills
    INTERNATIONAL DESIGN COMPETITION : 2001 ABOUT FRESH KILLS Fresh Kills Landfill is located on the western shore of Staten Island. Approximately half the 2,200-acre landfill is composed of four mounds, or sections, identified as 1/9, 2/8, 3/4 and 6/7 which range in height from 90 feet to approximately 225 feet. These mounds are the result of more than 50 years of landfilling, primarily household waste. Two of the four mounds are fully capped and closed; the other two are being prepared for final capping and closure. Fresh Kills is a highly engineered site, with numerous systems put in place to protect public health and environmental safety. However, roughly half the site has never been filled with garbage or was filled more than twenty years ago. These flatter areas and open waterways host everything from landfill infrastructure and roadways to intact wetlands and wildlife habitats. The potential exists for these areas, and eventually, the mounds themselves, to support broader and more active uses. With effective preparation now, the city can, over time, transform this controversial site into an important asset for Staten Island, the city and the region. Before dumping began, Fresh Kills Landfill was much like the rest of northwest Staten Island. That is, most of the landfill was a salt or intertidal marsh. The topography was low-lying, with a subsoil of clay and soils of sand and silt. The remainder of the area was originally farmland, either actively farmed, or abandoned and in stages of succession. Although Fresh Kills Landfill is not a wholly natural environment, the site has developed its own unique ecology.

Six miles south of City Hall, Manhattan, or an equal distance south as 100th street is north, are 36,000 acres of New York City, almost three times the size of Manhattan, which on account of natural advantages are unequalled for residential, business or industrial purposes. This land is known as Richmond Borough, or Staten Island, the most southerly part of New York City and State. By looking at the map on the outside cover of this book you will see the important position it occupies. Not only is it opposite the gateway from the Atlantic Ocean to the world's greatest port, but it also lies at the mouth of the great inland waterways of New York and New Jersey, viz., the East River, the Hudson River, the Hackensack River, the Passaic River, and the Raritan River.

  • History and Future of the North Shore Rail Line on Staten Island
    History and Future of the North Shore Rail Line on Staten Island Michael Minn Department of Geography, Hunter College City University of New York http://michaelminn.com 18 December 2009 Abstract Reactivation of the Staten Island Railway North Shore line offers significant potential for improving quality-of-life on the northern third of Staten Island. The North Shore line could be part of a comprehensive transportation and development plan for the island that will mitigate serious inadequacies in existing transportation infrastructure and potentially deliterious demo- graphic changes associated with growth and maturation on the island. However, the probable $600 million construction cost and $18 million annual operating deficits represent a serious political obstacle and call into question whether the resulting economic benefits are worth the considerable expenditure of public funds, even when considered as a long-term investment in the island’s future. INTRODUCTION Mobility has been a problem on Staten Island since the 19th century (1). Staten Island is large and sparsely populated with vital economic connections to New Jersey and the rest of New York City across bodies of water that impede smooth traffic flow and timely access. The island is too densely settled to permit free movement, but not dense enough to make public transportation convenient or financially self-sufficient. Over half the island’s workers commute off the island for work (2), necessitating long-distance travel through old urban development where transportation is inherently expensive and slow. A potential partial solution to transportation problems on Staten Island’s North Shore could be reactivation of an abandoned 5.1-mile rail line that formerly connected the neighborhoods of Arlington, Mariner’s Harbor, Elm Park, Port Richmond, West New Brighton, Livingston and New Brighton with the ferry terminal at St.
