Grow a Grass Roots Campaign… Realize Hudson Rise
Join prominent neighborhood residents including Laurie Anderson, Lou Reed, James Gandolfini, Jennifer Connelly, Paul Bettany, John Slattery, Talia Balsam, Michael Stipe, Kirsten Dunst, Casey Affleck and others who have voiced their support for Saving our Lower Manhattan neighborhood and working together to create St. Johns Park at Hudson Rise.
Hudson Rise is an American Institute of Architecture (AIA) award winning sustainable green community-based plan. It features three ADA accessible plateaus within a new 102,000 square foot landscaped terrain, sheltering new Department of Sanitation facilities below.
The Rise at new St. Johns Park, the former terminus of the Highline, would accommodate the majority of Department of Sanitation facilities now on Gansevoort Peninsula at 14th street so that the Hudson River Park could be expanded there. Like the Highline, the design would augment a green matrix on the eastern side of the Route 9A Boulevard Road while creating a 2.5 acre rooftop park above sanitation garages. The proposal which starts at Canal Street opposite Canal Park, also envisions a safe above-grade crossing to the 16-acre Pier 40 recreational facilities at Houston Street, part of the Hudson River Park, to prevent any further pedestrian injuries and deaths.
Hudson Rise is estimated to cost $200MM less than the current plan by the City, which is strongly opposed by residents in Hudson Square, Tribeca and Soho and the community boards because of the unfair relocation of all facilities that service Lower Manhattan to 59th Street, and east to Lexington Avenue, which are to be consolidated at Spring and Canal Streets, a neighborhood that already has the worst traffic congestion, 2nd worst air quality, and among the highest asthma rates in the city.
Hudson Rise is the embodiment of the Mayor’s PlaNYC 2030 to create a more sustainable environment with a public plaza and green space in every community. Lets make Hudson Rise a reality.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words – so this very well might be a short novel! 
What a tremendous gift baby Hudson is… we are so blessed with our family. Wow – thank you Lord! Feel free to respond with ‘comments’ (see area on page) to Momma or Daddy, we’d love to hear from you. But most of all, WE’D CHERISH YOUR WRITTEN PRAYERS FOR HUDSON! We’ll save them, print them – and share them with Hudson when he gets older! Love you, Brant & Mary, Daws, Brady and Hutch

We’ve installed several products from Hudson Reed that we are unhappy with.
First, we have a shower valve that is very slow. I have determined that the problem is in the valve body, downstream of the flow control valve, before the water is directed upward: I can look down into the valve from the top, and there are no obstructions visible, and with the flow control valve off, I’ve tried blowing into the valve body and it is very difficult to blow air through it. (I wish my plumber had bothered to do this before installing the faucet, but that is another story!) To demonstrate that we have plenty of water pressure in the house, I had my wifey turn on the water to the house for a few seconds while the flow control valve was off – in the video you can see plenty of water gushing out. And then I demonstrate that there is about 1/4 the volume of water you would want for a good shower.
Second, we have a couple of wall-mount faucets that dribble water after you shut them off. As far as I can tell, this is the water in the horizontal section coming out – the valves themselves are not leaking. Sometimes instead of dribbling out immediately after shutoff, this water will come out in little fits over the next 10 minutes. This is extremely annoying.
