Abstract

This report explores opportunities for developing publicly accessible open spaces and green infrastructure measures within the Poestenkill Creek watershed in the City of Troy, NY. During the Summer of 2018, a consultant team was tasked with organizing a planning charrette for Troy stakeholders to identify sites along the Poestenkill that could be redesigned to achieve four primary goals: 1) improve local water quality, 2) reduce flooding impacts, 3) restore ecological systems and 4) improve public access to open space along the Poestenkill waterfront. This report identifies sites and design solutions along the Poestenkill that resulted from the community design process; it is intended to be used as a framework for seeking public and private funding to implement the priority projects identified by stakeholders.

Description
