Our watercourse is uncovered, for the most part, and entirely neglected.
Restored River a Boon to Yonkers, by Elsa Brenner (New York Times)
IN large part as a result of the ongoing city-and-state-funded effort to “daylight” the Saw Mill River, developers in Yonkers have been able to forge ahead on various real estate projects relatively unaffected by the economic malaise thwarting new construction elsewhere.
A two-block section of the Saw Mill, a tributary of the Hudson River buried under concrete for nearly a century, has now been uncovered and surrounded by benches in a parklike setting. When the next two phases of the $48 million daylighting project are completed in about three years, the river will meander through a six-block-long section of downtown Yonkers for all to behold.
