Gansevoort Marine Transfer Station
As part of New York City’s 20-year Solid Waste Management Plan, the city is in the process of seeking approval from the State to build the Gansevoort Peninsula Transfer Station. The transfer station would be built at Pier 52 on the Hudson River, and would also include a recycling station.
Proponents for the plan include the Bloomberg administration, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, and multiple environmental advocacy groups, who agree that moving refuse by train or barge is more environmentally sound than moving it by truck. Opponents of the plan include a vocal group of park users called Friends of Hudson River Park. This advocacy group – which is backed financially by real estate developers who own properties along the riverfront – claims that the construction of the waste station will endanger the marine wildlife along this stretch of the Hudson River, as well as disturb those who use the park for recreation. Approval for the station was sent to the New York State Assembly in June 2007.
Local Leaders Oppose Gansevoort Deal
Wednesday, July 02, 2008 | The Villager | Topic: Waterfront
Despite opposition from Assembly Members representing the West side, the State Assembly voted 91-48 in favor of constructing a marine transfer station on the Gansevoort Peninsula. The transfer station is part of the city’s Solid Waste Management Plan and will be used for recycled materials. The goal of the plan is to decrease the amount of Sanitation trucks traveling through neighborhoods. State Senator Tom Duane who represents the area has said that Senate approval is not a certainty. The Senate is expected to consider the legislation when it reconvenes around July 11th.
Agreement Reached Between City and State for Waste Transfer Station
Wednesday, June 25, 2008 | New York Times | Topic: Environment
Another step forward has been made in the Mayor's plan to create a waste transfer station on the Hudson River near Gansevoort Street. A meeting with the State Legislature resulted in an agreement to proceed with the bill being presented to the Legislature. The agreement states that the pedestrian and bike paths will remain open during construction in the Hudson River Park and additional money will be put aside to create new parkland along the river.
Solid Waste Management Plan Up For Vote Again
Wednesday, May 28, 2008 | Other | Topic: Environment
The Solid Waste Management Plan, including a marine transfer station at the Gansevoort docks in order to ship Manhattan's recyclables via ship, has been approved by the New York State Senate. This plan has been previously blocked due to local opposition, however it is meant to reduce traffic trucking this waste to the outer boroughs and New Jersey. The new bill now awaits a vote in the New York State Assembly.
City Urges Action For Gansevoort Waste Transfer Station
Friday, October 19, 2007 | New York Times | Topic: General
Mayor Bloomberg’s proposal to construct a waste transport dock on the Gansevoort Peninsula continues to meet opposition by elected officials on the West Side of Manhattan, who are concerned about the effects it will have on the Hudson River Park. The proposal, says Mayor Bloomberg, would reduce truck traffic that accompanies hauling Manhattan’s garbage to other boroughs. At a press conference, Mayor Bloomberg called on Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver to act on the plan. The Mayor believes that his plan sufficiently addresses concerns raised by state officials.
Gansevoort Station Approval Goes to State
Tuesday, June 05, 2007 | Other | Topic: Environment
Today Mayor Bloomberg and City Council Speaker Christine Quinn have asked the State Legislature to pass a bill giving the green light to the construction and implementation of the Gansevoort Marine Transfer Station in order to address the city’s increasing need for waste management facilities. Ideally, the desired legislation will be an amendment to the existing Hudson River Park Act.
