Info

Before exploring the opportunities along the Rose Run, it is important tounderstand the nature of the corridor as it exists today and has beenimpacted by the past. This will inform us of the valuable elements tobe saved and improved upon, as well as the areas where special attentionwill be needed in the future.A. Vegetationpage 8Figure 4 - Existing Riparian Vegetation.The great strength of the Rose Run corridor is the quality and quantity ofits existing vegetation. The natural areas that encompass the majority ofthe corridor serve as a true greenspace link throughout the Village core. Inparticular, the portions surrounding the Ealy House in Rose Run II and runningthrough the existing Rose Run I Park are completely wooded, providing anatural shade canopy for the stream. The portion of the Rose Run Corridoradjacent to the Old Burying Ground is also well vegetated with both woodedportions and grassed floodplain.The challenging portions of the corridor regarding vegetation are clear. At theintersection of Main Street and Dublin-Granville Road, the development hasaltered the river corridor, both changing the shape and alignment of the streamas well as removing the tree canopy along the stream. Should redevelopmentoccur on these parcels in the future, it is vital that the floodplain be protectedand restored to a vegetative state. In addition, opportunities exist in locations(such as the old police station) for the Village to acquire existing developedsites and restore the vegetative state of the corridor.The value of this vegetative corridor is clear from the environmentalstandpoint. Additional trees and shade the stream, keeping the stream at aproper temperature. Other vegetation prevents erosion along stream banksand provides habitats for a variety of animals.Existing stream edge west of Main Street - impacts of existing structures on stream channel.Existing poor stream edge at the Market Street bridge.Existing poor stream edge just east of Main Street.
Figure 5 - Proposed Riparian Vegetation.The aesthetic value of the corridor is vital, as well. In the rapidly changing Villageof <strong>New</strong> <strong>Albany</strong>, having a greenspace link defining the Village Center creates anidentity and a centerpiece for the Village heart. It also presents a framework forcurrent and future development in the Village Center.page 9Existing corridor vegetation.
