THIS CAMPAIGN HAS ALREADY PLANNED AND STARED AN INTERVENTION ALONG THE HARBOR BROOK. THEIR SITE ENHANCEMENT VISON IS TO CREATE THREE TYPES OF WETLANDS: FLOATING, VERTICAL DOWN FLOW AND SURFACE FLOW. THE GOAL IS TO TREAT THE CSO, REMOVE FLOATABLES AND IMPROVE WATER QUALITY. OUR PLAN IS TO EXPAND FROM THIS BACK TO HARBOR BROOK. THIS WILL CREATE A WATER TREATMENT PROJECT WITH BENEFITS GREATER THAN JUST AESTHETICS. AFTER THE TWO YEAR MONITORING PERIOD IF ALL GOES ACCORDINGLY THE WATERS WILL BE CLEANER AND SAFER TO BE AROUND. PEOPLE CAN GO BACK TO FISHING, SWIMMING, AND PLAYING ALONG THE HARBOR BROOK LIKE THEY ONCE USED TO.

SYRACUSE
DURING SETTLEMENT HARBOR BROOK GOT ITS NAME BECAUSE BEFORE CROSSING ONONDAGA LAKE THE SETTLERS WOULD USE THE BROOK AS A TEMPORARY NATURAL HARBOR TO REST AND KEEP THEIR HO BOATS. TODAY THE BROOK IS PORTRAYED AS A DIRTY AND UNSANITARY WASTE BED FLOWING THOROUGH THE CITY AND FLOODING, WITH NO POSITIVE CONNOTATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE PRESENT CONDITIONS.

CHANGING THE VOCABULARY

OF HARBOR BROOK
THE GOAL OF OUR INTERVENTION IS TO TAKE ALL OF THE NEGATIVITY AFFILIATED WITH HARBOR BROOK AND CREATE A POSITIVE PERCEPTION. WITH THE SAVE THE RAIN CAMPAIGN TREATING THE WATER, THE FIRST PART OF OUR PROPOSAL IS TO TAKE IT A STEP FURTHER AND EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES AND COMMUNITY PARKS. BRINGING PEOPLE TO THE TREATMENT SITE CAN SHOW HOW THE BROOK IS CHANGING FOR THE BETTER, GIVING THEM THE CHANCE TO INTERACT WITH THE BROOK AND CREATE A BRIGHTER OUTLOOK OF THE AREA. THE SECOND PART OF OUR PROPOSAL IS TO REHABILITATE THE PARKS THAT USE TO RUN ALONG THE BROOK, STARTING WITH THE VACANT LOT NEXT TO BURNET PARK. THE COMMUNITY WOULD HAVE THE CHANCE TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THE WATERS AND REMEMBER IT IN A POSITIVE WAY. IF THE REHABILITATION OF THIS PARK IS A SUCCESS THEN OUR INTERVENTION WILL CONTINUE TO FILL IN THE VACANT LOTS ALONG THE BROOK.
