The waterfront should be developed in such a way that it is an integrated extension of the existing Village core, centered around the train station.
New residential development on the waterfront should not create a separate enclave, but rather another neighborhood, comparable in scale to other neighborhoods in Hastings, and with the same positive relationship to the downtown and the Village as a whole.
The relationship of the Village to the waterfront changes along its length: the north is the most accessible, the most public and the most intimately connected with the Village center; the south is the most private and least accessible.

The streetcar connection project, and the revised alignment, have received coverage in the newspapers on a number of occasions, particularly after the initial Commission approval, in June, 1997, and after City of Toronto approval of the Capital Budget funding for the line, initially in April, 1998.

 Recommendations for the Central Area
Similarly, although a waterfront connection has been proposed for the area north of Dyckman Street leading to Sherman’s Creek, plans to establish this connection still exist; however, the proposals have not made it beyond paper form.
With the rise in interest in the New York City waterfront, and the recent completion of the Peter Jay Sharp Boathouse in adjacent Swindler’s Cove, the time is ripe to put these sites to work according to their historic use.
Regardless, changes to the waterfront and adjacent lots should incorporate the various uses historically found there, as opposed to applying a blanket solution that addresses only the contemporary desire to open up the entire riverfront to public use.

 DC: NJ Transit Waterfront Transitway Phase I
At the Assembly hearing in August, 1990, Marty Robbins, Director of the NJ Transit's Waterfront Office, commented that NJ Transit is interested in getting into the neighborhoods and also mentioned the importance of meeting the needs of the developers for their new residents.
I agree that meeting the needs of the new residents is important, but the proposed busway only meets their needs because it would not get into many of the existing neighborhoods to serve Hudson County residents that are already clamoring for better mass transport.
Building another exit from the Turnpike and a park and ride lot in the Waterfront area runs counter to the strategies which will increase transit use and will increase the level of driving to and in the waterfront, exacerbate energy use and pollution in addition to undercutting mass transit ridership.
