Gateway's GMP: 2012 update

Three years ago, Gateway began its journey to develop a General Management Plan (GMP), a blueprint for the park's future. The Summer 2012 newsletter describes the GMP's progress over the last 18 months.

Highlighted in this newsletter are three management alternatives that lay out different directions for the park. These alternatives define some ideas for preservation of the park's natural areas and historic sites. They offer different kinds of recreation and education experiences, and explore ways we can collaborate with others to make this vision a reality.

Please take a few minutes and review the information presented in this newsletter, especially the draft management alternatives. Suggestions and comments will be collected by one of the following ways:

• Drop by one of our September open houses to learn more about the GMP. Speak with one of the planning team members and review presentation boards and maps. Fill out a comment form to tell us what you think.
• Can't make one of the sessions? Fill out a comment form on-line.
• Call the park planning office at 718-354-4628 and request a newsletter or comment form to be mailed or FAXed to you.
