Yonkers Restores Buried River, Generates 14,000 Sq Ft of Aquatic Habitat
The city of Yonkers, New York, uncovered a section of the Saw Mill River that had been buried under a downtown parking lot since the 1920s. The restoration project was completed in 2012, transforming the former Larkin Plaza site into a three-acre public park. The effort brought the hidden waterway back to the surface and reintegrated it into the urban landscape. Within just six months of completion, the revived river had created 14,000 square feet of aquatic habitat and attracted multiple species.
