Description: Daylighting Tibbetts Brook: Restoring a Waterway in New York City
Daylighting Tibbetts Brook: Restoring a Waterway in New York City
Abstract
New York City Department of Environmental Protection, in conjunction with New York City Parks, is designing the daylighting of Tibbett Brook in the Bronx, starting in Van Cortlandt Park, and continuing through a former rail corridor down to the Harlem River. A portion of this project will be integrated with a public greenway, into a new public park, before entering into a pipe and crossing through an active maintenance railyard. A dry weather flow, as well as a portion of wet weather flow will be diverted into this new stream channel, away from the combined sewer system, and when completed, it is modeled to reduce combined sewer overflow discharges to the Harlem River by 2015-220 million gallons per year, making it one of the most effective green infrastructure projects for New York City.
