The map currently contains the watershed boundary and the proposed projects included in the most recent draft of the Plan. Please note that all projects listed are draft only, and still under review by the steering committee. To annotate these points or to add new features to the map, follow these simple steps:
- Use this link to edit the map
- Sign in at the top right of the page using the generic Gmail address provided by SWRPA (if you are already signed into Google using a personal Gmail account, you will need to log out first)
- The map will reload automatically, this time with an “edit” button on the left near the map title
- Three symbols will appear near the main map navigation: a hand (pan), and point (draw point) and a line (draw polygon)—use these symbols to draw new features and to move features you’ve already drawn
- Click on any feature to add a title to a new feature, or to add comments/description to one of the features proposed in the current draft of the Plan
I added the Stream Bank Restoration Problem to the Google Interactive Map. This is a significant problem that continues to deteriorate. The Friends of Mianus River Park are working on stream bank armoring and revegetation and exclusion fencing with some limited success. A major, concerted study, plan, construction, education and enforcement effort is needed to recover the streambank on the west side of the Mianus River from Merriebrook Lane upstream for about 1.5 miles. The draft watershed management plan should highlight this major problem area and ideally recommend a plan of attack to enable additional resources to be made available to solve the problem.
