  • 4 Removal of Niagara Scenic Parkway

    4 Removal of Niagara Scenic Parkway

    OFFICE OF THE MAYOR Telephone: (716) 286-4310 June 26, 2018 The Niagara Falls City Council Niagara Falls, New York RE: Removal of the Niagara Scenic Parkway —from Main Street to Findlay Drive Council Members: An agreement has been reached between the Power Authority of the State of New York ("NYPA"), the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation ("State Parks"), the New York State Department of Transportation ("NYSDOT"), the USA Niagara Development Corporation ("USAN"), and the City of Niagara Falls (the "City"), which is the next step in the ROBERT MOSES PARKWAY NORTH SEGMENT REMOVAL PROJECT (Project). This construction project is estimated to cost $38,500,000. It is largely funded through NYPA ($36,500,000), with the balance being paid for by New York State Office of Parks Recreation and Historic Preservation ($2,000,000). No municipal capital funds are required for this Agreement to take effect. Since constructed in 1962, the former Robert Moses Parkway has not just been the subject of severe criticism but a malignancy that has decimated our community by having cut off both residents and visitors from the Niagara River, Niagara River Gorge, and the public lands connected thereto. The Parkway, rather than being the transportation link in service of economic development and city-building, instead only served to create an effective by-pass around the City and its Main Street, Pine Avenue, and other traditional business corridors. This Project, more than any before marks the largest removal, reconfiguration and regeneration of urban land since a portion of the Parkway passing through Niagara Falls State Park and Prospect Park was removed in the late 1970s.

    P.O. Box 218, Fenwick, Ontario L0S 1C0 905-892-2110 e-mail: [email protected] August 12, 2019 Walter Basic Acting Director of Planning Town of Grimsby 160 Livingstone Avenue P.O. Box 169 Grimsby, ON L3M 4G3 Re: 133 & 137 Main Street East Dear Sir: We have been retained as heritage structural consultants for the proposed relocation of the Nelles House at 133 Main Street East in Grimsby. While we have not yet had time to develop the complete design and details for the proposed relocation, we have looked at the house and we are confident that it can be successfully moved and restored. We have reviewed your comments in your letter of July 22, 2019 to the IBI Group, specifically items 2 & 4 in the comments on the HIA. Item 2 requests clarification regarding the preservation of the stone foundation when the dwelling is moved. We believe that preservation of the visible portion of the stone foundation between grade and the brick would meet the intent of the designating bylaw and the approach which we have used on previous similar projects is to salvage the stone from the foundation, place the building on a new concrete foundation constructed with a shelf in the concrete, and re-lay the salvaged stone so no concrete is visible in the finished project. In cases where the stone wall is of particular importance, we have documented the positions of the stones and replaced them exactly as originally located on the building, although in most cases the use of the salvaged material laid in a pattern matching the original is sufficient to meet the intent.
  • Doing Niagara Falls If You're Stuck on the American Side

    Doing Niagara Falls If You're Stuck on the American Side

    Meiqianbao/ Shutterstock Doing Niagara Falls If You're Stuck on the American Side By Jason Cochran The legendary Niagara Falls, one of the greatest natural attractions in North America, straddles the border between Ontario, Canada, and New York State. In an ideal tourism situation, you'd be able to drive or stroll across the Rainbow International Bridge to enjoy the view from both banks of the Niagara River. But sometimes you just can't get over the border. Maybe you don't have enough time. Maybe your legal status won't allow it. Or maybe you happen to be living through a once-in-a-lifetime global pandemic that has sealed national borders. It's all good! If you're restricted to the U.S. side, you won't find yourself over a barrel. There's plenty to do. In fact, some of the best activities in the Niagara Falls area are on the American side. Pictured above: Terrapin Point, at right, juts into the eastern side of the Falls from Niagara Falls State Park in New York State. Niagara Falls State Park Niagara Falls State Park If we're being honest, the Canadian side has richer options for quality lodging and tourist amenities, although the stuff on that riverbank tends toward cheesy honky-tonk. New York's territory beside the Falls, on the other hand, has been preserved from development since the 1880s. In fact, the area is now the oldest state park in the United States. The more-than-400-acre Niagara Falls State Park, which is separated from the core of town by a breakaway river, is speckled with whitewater-spanning bridges, river islands, curving walkways, and native animals.

    NIAGARA ROCKS, BUILDING STONE, HISTORY and WINE

    NIAGARA ROCKS, BUILDING STONE, HISTORY and WINE Gerard V. Middleton, Nick Eyles, Nina Chapple, and Robert Watson American Geophysical Union and Geological Association of Canada Field Trip A3: Guidebook May 23, 2009 Cover: The Battle of Queenston Heights, 13 October, 1812 (Library and Archives Canada, C-000276). The cover engraving made in 1836, is based on a sketch by James Dennis (1796-1855) who was the senior British officer of the small force at Queenston when the Americans first landed. The war of 1812 between Great Britain and the United States offers several examples of the effects of geology and landscape on military strategy in Southern Ontario. In short, Canada’s survival hinged on keeping high ground in the face of invading American forces. The mouth of the Niagara Gorge was of strategic value during the war to both the British and Americans as it was the start of overland portages from the Niagara River southwards around Niagara Falls to Lake Erie. Whoever controlled this part of the Niagara River could dictate events along the entire Niagara Peninsula. With Britain distracted by the war against Napoleon in Europe, the Americans thought they could take Canada by a series of cross-border strikes aimed at Montreal, Kingston and the Niagara River. At Queenston Heights, the Niagara Escarpment is about 100 m high and looks north over the flat floor of glacial Lake Iroquois. To the east it commands a fine view over the Niagara Gorge and river. Queenston is a small community perched just below the crest of the escarpment on a small bench created by the outcrop of the Whirlpool Sandstone.
