La Marqueta

La Marqueta es un mercado bajo las vías elevadas del ferrocarril Metro North entre las calles 111 y 116 en Park Avenue en East Harlem en Manhattan, Nueva York. Su dirección oficial es 1590 Park Avenue. En su apogeo en las décadas de 1950 y 1960, más de 500 vendedores operaban desde La Marqueta, ​ y era un importante lugar social y económico para la Nueva York hispana. El New York Times lo llamó "el símbolo más visible del barrio". Desde entonces ha disminuido de tamaño. ​ El mercado era originalmente un lugar de reunión informal para vendedores de carritos y otros comerciantes, pero desde 1936 ha sido autorizado oficialmente ​ y los vendedores alquilan sus puestos en la ciudad. Alguna vez fue posible comprar alimentos, medicinas tradicionales, grabaciones de música latina y suministros para encantamientos y maldiciones en La Marqueta. ​ También fue el lugar de encuentro del vecindario después de que la renovación urbana desplazara a innumerables pequeñas empresas, reemplazándolas únicamente por viviendas a gran escala. Hoy en día, tres de los cinco edificios originales que albergaban el mercado han sido quemados o derribados, y un cuarto está cerrado. En mayo de 2008, sólo cuatro proveedores operaban en el último edificio, ​ pero el número aumentó posteriormente, llegando a diez a principios de 2011. La ciudad de Nueva York ha intentado repetidamente revivir La Marqueta, pero no ha logrado encontrar un modelo de negocio viable que también agrade a los residentes y políticos locales. ​ La Harlem Community Development Corporation, una agencia estatal de desarrollo económico ha propuesto un concepto llamado La Marqueta Mile. ​ En 2010, la propuesta obtuvo el apoyo del Centro para un Futuro Urbano. ​ En 2009, la Corporación de Desarrollo Económico de la Ciudad de Nueva York (NYCEDC) y el Ayuntamiento de Nueva York emitieron una solicitud de propuestas para que las empresas operaran y mantuvieran una incubadora de cocinas comerciales de 3000 pies cuadrados en La Marqueta. A principios de 2011, HBK Incubates, una incubadora de empresas alimentarias dirigida por Hot Bread Kitchen, ​ abrió sus puertas en un espacio en La Marqueta ​ que había sido renovado con 1,5 millones de dólares en fondos del Ayuntamiento de Nueva York.

La Plaza Cultural de Armando Perez

La Plaza Cultural de Armando Perez (also known as La Plaza Cultural) is a community garden and public green space in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. Serving as a community garden, park, playground, wildlife refuge, urban farm, community composting site, and performance venue, La Plaza Cultural is also utilized by local day-care centers, after-school programs and a growing number of parents with small children. The garden has been known to grow a number of various edible plants including fruits, vegetable, and herbs. The lot is approximately 0.64 acres and consists of at least 11 members. History La Plaza Cultural was founded in 1976 by local residents and greening activists who took over what was then a series of vacant city lots piled high with rubble and trash. In an effort to improve the neighborhood during a downward trend of arson, drugs, and abandonment caused by the New York City fiscal crisis of the late 1970s, members of the Latino group Charas/El Bohio cleared out truckloads of refuse. Working with Buckminster Fuller, they built a geodesic dome in the open “plaza” and began staging cultural events. Green Guerilla's pioneer, Liz Christy, seeded the turf with “seed bombs” and planted towering weeping willows and linden trees. Artist Gordon Matta-Clark helped construct La Plaza’s amphitheater using railroad ties and materials reclaimed from abandoned buildings. Later, block residents tilled the western portion of the space and planted vegetables, flowers, and fruit trees. During the 1980s, the garden came under attack by developers seeking to build on the space. After numerous court battles, La Plaza was finally preserved in 2002 as part of the terms of a legal settlement. In 2003, La Plaza was renamed in memory of Armando Perez, a CHARAS founder and former District Leader of the Lower East Side, who was killed in 1999. In 1985, Artmakers Inc., organized a meeting calling for "artists of conviction to paint political murals." 34 artists gathered during the summer months and produced 24 "La Lucha Continua" murals on the surrounding walls of the garden. Many of the murals have been destroyed through building renovation or destruction, existing murals on the west wall have faded, but still stand today. References

Lake Champlain Bridge

Die Lake Champlain Bridge ist eine Straßenbrücke über die Engstelle des Lake Champlain zwischen Crown Point, New York und Chimney Point, Vermont, USA. Sie verbindet die Staatsstraßen 185 (NY) und 17 (VT). Die nächsten Brücken stehen 68 km südlich in Whitehall oder 137 km nördlich in Rouses Point. Die gegenwärtige Brücke wurde zwischen 2009 und 2011 gebaut; sie ersetzte eine stählerne Fachwerkbogenbrücke von 1929. Lake Champlain Bridge (2011) Die 670,6 m (2200 ft) lange und 17,3 m (56 ft 8 in) breite Netzwerkbogenbrücke hat zwei Fahrspuren und beidseits breite Gehwege, auf denen auch die Bögen und ihre Hänger angeordnet sind. Die Brücke überquert den See in einer lichten Höhe von mindestens 22,8 m (75 ft). Ihre beiden, leicht zueinander geneigten stählernen Bögen haben oberhalb der Fahrbahn eine Stützweite von 122,5 m (402 ft). Diese Stützweite wird unterhalb der Fahrbahn von weit ausladenden dreieckigen Trägerkonstruktionen auf 146,3 m (480 ft) erweitert. Die Bögen bestehen aus gebogenen H-förmigen Stahlträgern und sind durch X-förmige Windverbände versteift. Jeder Bogen hat 32 schräg angeordnete Hänger, die sich meist zweimal kreuzen. Der Fahrbahnträger besteht aus Stahlträgern und Stahlbeton-Fertigteilplatten, deren Fugen nach dem Verlegen mit Ortbeton vergossen wurden. Anschließend wurde das Plattensystem vorgespannt. Die Stahlbeton-Pfeiler wurden auf Bohrpfählen gegründet, die bis auf den gewachsenen Fels hinabreichen. Die Brücke wurde von HNTB entworfen und von Flatiron erstellt, der US-Tochter von Hochtief. Der Bogen wurde in der Nähe der Brücke in einer Werft montiert und anschließend eingeschwommen. Lake Champlain Bridge (1929) Die erste Brücke an dieser Stelle war eine von Fay, Spofford & Thorndike aus Boston entworfene stählerne Fachwerkbogenbrücke, die in 15 Monaten erstellt und 1929 eröffnet wurde. Die 8,5 m (28 ft) breite Brücke hatte ansonsten fast die gleichen Abmessungen wie der Neubau, dessen neue Pfeiler jedoch geänderte Pfeilerachsabstände erforderten. Sie war die erste Fachwerkbogenbrücke mit einem über sechs Felder reichenden Durchlaufträger, eine Bauweise, die danach in den USA häufiger ausgeführt wurde. Die Brücke wurde im Freivorbau erstellt. Bei einer technischen Inspektion im Jahr 2009 stellte man fest, dass zwei Pfeiler strukturelle Schäden aufwiesen und ein Einsturz drohte. Am 16. Oktober 2009 wurde die Brücke geschlossen. Bis zur Eröffnung der neuen Brücke wurde ein Fährverkehr eingerichtet. Weblinks Einzelnachweise
Lake Champlain Bridge (2011–present)

The Lake Champlain Bridge is a vehicular bridge traversing Lake Champlain between Crown Point, New York and Chimney Point, Vermont. It replaced an older bridge that was demolished in 2009. The bridge was designed and constructed during an aggressive two-year schedule to minimize the social and economic impact of the original bridge's demolition. It is the only fixed-link crossing of Lake Champlain/Champlain canal between US 4 in Whitehall, 42 miles (68 km) to the south and US 2 at Rouses Point, 85 miles (137 km) to the north. The main arch span was prefabricated off-site in Port Henry, floated by barge to the already-constructed approach spans, and then lifted into place on August 26, 2011. The completed bridge was originally scheduled to open on October 9, 2011, but this was pushed back around a month due to construction delays from underwater debris and record flooding. The bridge opened to the public on Monday, November 7, 2011, following a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Description After state inspectors determined in October 2009 that the 80-year-old previous Champlain Bridge had deteriorated beyond repair, the states of New York and Vermont agreed to replace it. The new bridge employs a modified network tied arch design. Flatiron Constructors of Broomfield, Colorado, the U.S. subsidiary of the German firm, Hochtief, won the contract for the new bridge, and groundbreaking took place on June 11, 2010. The bridge construction contract was for $69.6 million. It was completed six weeks ahead of schedule, but at a cost of $78.29 million.

Lake Colden

Lake Colden is a 41-acre (17 ha) lake located in the Adirondack High Peaks in New York, United States. Lake Colden sits at 2,764 feet (842 meters) at the western base of 4,714-foot (1,437 m) Mount Colden. To the northwest lie the MacIntyre Mountains— 5,115-foot (1,559 m) Algonquin Peak (the second highest mountain in the state), 4,829-foot (1,472-meter) Boundary Peak, 4,843-foot (1,476-meter) Iroquois Peak and 4,380-foot (1,340-meter) Mount Marshall. Mount Marcy is 2.8 miles (4.5 km) to the east. Lake Colden is fed by Avalanche Lake, to the northeast and in turn feeds Flowed Lands, to the southwest. Being in the heart of the High Peaks, the area is very popular with hikers. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation maintains an Interior Outpost on the western shore. There are a number of campsites and lean-tos in the area. Lake Colden was named after David C. Colden in 1836; Colden was an investor in the Tahawus iron works of Archibald MacIntyre.

Lake DeForest

Lake DeForest, also called DeForest Lake, is a reservoir in Clarkstown, New York, created in 1956 by impounding the Hackensack River, which is a principal part of the water supply for Rockland County, New York and Northern New Jersey, mainly Bergen and Hudson counties. The reservoir is owned and operated by Suez North America, and is the most upstream of its reservoirs along the river's watershed, the others being Lake Tappan, the Woodcliff Lake Reservoir, and the Oradell Reservoir. It has a storage capacity of 5.6 billion gallons. Swimming and bathing are prohibited because the water is reserved for potable use. The lake is traversed by a causeway carrying Congers Road (CR 80). History The lake was developed in 1956 by an interstate partnership of the Hackensack Water Company (of New Jersey) and the Spring Valley Water Company (of Spring Valley, New York), to provide water on both sides of the state line. Adrian Leiby's monograph, The Hackensack Water Company, 1869-1969, describes the conception of the lake (owing chiefly to George F. Wieghardt, chief engineer from 1938 to 1954); the sense that the proposed lake needed to be built soon, before any ill-advised new housing developments on the swampy lowlands would preclude it; and unrest among the public fueled by fears the proposed lake was a plan by New Jersey thieves to steal water from New York state or to create miles of "smelly mud flats" in Clarkstown. By the time of a severe drought in 1963-65, Leiby noted, public approval of the attractive lake and the water security it provided was nearly universal; writing in 1969, he said, "Twelve years later it is hard to believe that there is a single person in the County who would willingly see DeForest Lake drained and its land filled with development houses." The lake is named after Henry L. deForest, president of Hackensack Water Company from 1936 to 1950, under whose presidency the lake was conceived; at the time that the completed lake was dedicated on March 13, 1957, Henry L. deForest had recently died. Henry's father, Robert W. DeForest, had led the Hackensack Water Company from 1881 to 1926. The Hackensack Water Company and the Spring Valley Water Company had long cooperated, the former being a chief stockholder of the latter; they were merged into United Water Resources in the 1980s, which was later acquired by Suez North America.

Lake DeVenoge

Lake DeVenoge is a private community located in the town of Highland in Sullivan County, New York, United States. It is known primarily for the lake itself and a formerly operating 9-hole golf course. It was developed in the early 1930s as a vacation community. Previously the area was owned by the DeVenoge family, originally of Switzerland, with the intention of expanding wine production from France to the United States. The lake itself is unique because gasoline powered motors are prohibited, unlike many of the surrounding lakes such as Highland Lake and Mohican Lake. Fed entirely by underground springs, the 71 acres (29 ha) lake is 60 to 80 feet (18 to 24 m) deep at the center and typically runs 5 to 10 degrees cooler than surrounding lakes. As a result, the lake supports healthy populations of largemouth bass and rainbow trout. References

Lake Gilead

Lake Gilead is a 118-acre (0.48 km2) controlled lake located in hamlet of Carmel within the Town of Carmel in Putnam County, New York. Originally known as Dean's Pond, it was dammed by New York City in 1870 to create an impoundment 0.8 miles long, with a mean depth of 43 feet (13 m) and a maximum depth of approximately 120 feet (37 m). The lake is located within the lower Hudson River basin in the Croton River watershed. It lies at an elevation of 499 ft (152 m), and has a shoreline of approximately 2.2 mi (3.5 km). Lake Gilead is part of the Croton Watershed of the New York City water supply system. Its dam and spillway are located on its southern end, with a 500' shore-to-shore set-back restricting boaters from the spillway area. Recreational use of the controlled lakes falls under DEP regulations. Fishing and self-powered boating are allowed with a valid DEP permit and New York State Department of Environmental Conservation-issued fishing license. Swimming is prohibited. Ice fishing is allowed on Lake Gilead during the winter. Fish species present include (but are not limited to) largemouth bass, rainbow, lake and brown trout, chain pickerel, yellow perch, and panfish. In the 1990s a local fisherman illegally introduced northern pike, though they are rarely caught. References

Lake Neatahwanta

Lake Neatahwanta is located in and near the city of Fulton in Oswego County, New York. It covers approximately 750 acres (3.0 km2) of which about one-half is located within the city, while the other half is located in the town of Granby. Neatahwanta translates to "little lake near the big lake" in Iroquois. It is currently prohibited to swim in the lake or to allow pets to have contact with the water due to pollution and microbial growth. It is currently being dredged in hope to have it open for public use again. It is expected to be fully clean in about 2 years. Fishing Fish species present in the lake are black crappie, pumpkinseed sunfish, bowfin, largemouth bass, northern pike, tiger muskie, white perch, black bullhead, bluegill, striped bass, and yellow perch. There is city owned access for a fee, with a hard surface boat takeoff and ramp located on the northwest shore off Phillips Street in the bordering campground. Water quality and environmental concerns Lake Neatahwanta is classified as eutrophic due to high nutrient levels, low water clarity, and elevated concentrations of algae and chlorophyll-a. Monitoring by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation found that phosphorus and nitrogen concentrations contribute to frequent algal blooms and reduced recreational water quality. Recreation impairment Primary and secondary contact recreation (such as swimming and boating) are classified as impaired because of elevated phosphorus levels, which contribute to excessive algal growth in the lake. Fishing use in the lake is also considered impaired, with water quality issues including low dissolved oxygen, pH variation, and high phosphorus concentrations affecting aquatic conditions. Excessive algal and aquatic weed growth is seen as a key environmental issue in the lake and contributes to water quality impairment. Nutrient pollution in Lake Neatahwanta is likely influenced by runoff from surrounding urban and residential areas. Stormwater runoff can carry fertilizers, sediments, and other pollutants into the lake, increasing phosphorus and nitrogen levels. These inputs contribute to eutrophication and algal blooms, particularly during warmer months. References External links Findlakes.com Trails.com Scorecard.org
Lake Peekskill (lake)

Lake Peekskill is a small manmade lake located in the town of Putnam Valley in Putnam County, New York. Originally called Lower Cranberry Pond before being dammed, the lake was created as a destination recreational area in the 1920s by the McGolrick Co. by impounding a small unnamed tributary of Peekskill Hollow Creek with a dam on its southwest end. Summer cottages were then built adjacent to it for sale to New York City residents, developing into the hamlet of Lake Peekskill. Today's community is mostly year-round. There are three private beaches on the lake: North Beach, Singers Beach and Carraras Beach. Following some years when hazardous algal blooms were present, in 2019 it was reported that the recent installation of a diffuser system had ameliorated the problem. As of May 2026, there were ongoing efforts to keep the nitrogen, phosphorus, and algae under control. References
