Research & Analysis
DEP evaluated opportunities and constraints for Greenway development. This evaluation focused on four areas of work:
Stormwater
The Greenway will need to properly manage the water that falls onto its property. Effective stormwater management can help prevent flooding and erosion. By addressing localized stormwater, the Greenway can create a sustainable environment, support biodiversity, and enhance water quality. It’s a crucial aspect that safeguards the long-term health and resilience of the Greenway.
Remediation
Some portions of the Greenway may be affected by pollution or contamination due to former industrial uses. By remediating soils, water, or other impacted elements, we can create a healthy and safe environment for plants, animals, and people. This component of the plan studied where this remediation needs to occur.
Safety + Security
By prioritizing the study of safety and security, we can create a welcoming environment where everyone can freely explore and appreciate the beauty of the future Greenway.
Stakeholder Engagement
By engaging community members with a focus on transparency, shared decision-making, and making the planning process fun and engaging, we can create an atmosphere on the Greenway where everyone feels welcome and is encouraged to visit.
