For those wondering where the slides came from, it was this event:

You'll note the sentence that says the basins "are among the greatest unused inaccessible natural-protected spaces in the city."

And here I thought this whole time that it was used and accessed by nature, which was the whole point of stopping development. This sounds very Robert Moses-esque. Next they'll be calling it "underutilized."

Hi all,

These slides were presented by NYC H2O during a discussion sponsored by the Queens Museum.

I, for one, did not work to save the reservoir so that nature could be replaced by a performance space and playground.

From The New York Times:

Red Knots in Steepest Decline in Years, Threatening the Species' Survival

The annual count along the Delaware Bay beaches showed another severe drop in numbers of the shorebird, whose migration is one of the longest avian journeys in the world.
