I'm meeting an ex-student of mine to hike with AnneMarie, JPConservancy President at 11 AM. She leads a community activist tour. I plan to arrive about 10:45 AM. Save me a parking spot.

i.e. DEP’s use of JPReservoir as part if its Environmental Education Program, and maybe the OUEL? NYC DEP Press Release May 5, 2017

Grounds of Jerome Park Reservoir to be Opened for Limited Access Recreation in May

The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) today

announced that it will open the grounds of Jerome Park Reservoir in

the Bronx for special limited access recreation on the weekend of May

20 and 21 from 10 am until 2 pm. Members of the public will have the

opportunity to walk or jog around the 2-mile perimeter of the

Reservoir. Phones, bags and cameras will not be permitted on the

Reservoir grounds. There will be an opportunity to check phones, but

visitors should not bring bags or cameras. Access to the Reservoir

Grounds will be through an entrance adjacent to the Gatehouse located

on the west side of Goulden Avenue, just south of 205th Street.

In addition to the public recreation, DEP will continue its

partnership with schools located in the vicinity of the Reservoir to

provide a pilot education program about New York City's drinking

water system. This includes teacher professional development,

classroom visits and guided, interpretive tours of the Reservoir

grounds. Since the fall of 2015, so far, more than 2,000 students

from Bronx H.S. of Science, DeWitt Clinton H.S., Discovery H.S., P.S.

8, P.S. 86, P.S. 95, AmPark Neighborhood School, and M.S. 244 have

taken part in the program.

Jerome Park Reservoir is roughly 93-acres in size, has the capacity

to hold up to 773 million gallons of water, and is located in the

northwest Bronx. It receives water from the City's Croton Watershed,

located in Westchester and Putnam Counties, and is the last stop for

the water before it enters the Croton Water Filtration Plant and goes

into the City's distribution system.

Building relationships simply by repairing one kitchen at a time

Felix Lam has been the superintendent at 2465 Palisade Ave., in Spuyten Duyvil for 50 years. The 81-year-old has made his home — and career — at the eight-story co-op since he was a young man. And how does that make him feel? “I’m very happy about it,” Lam said.
