Install rustic wood benches at key loca- tions along paths and at overlooks. Use porous pavement to create a new ecologically sensitive parking lot (5-10 spots) and access off Brighton Street to serve as a drop-off at the existing MDC dock. Repair and improve the existing dock to allow for easier use as a canoe/kayak launch. Install a wooden fence, with openings if requested by abutters, along the property line and vegetative buffer to delineate public and private space. 9. Reclaim MDC land that has been en- croached upon to implement the above recommendations (refer to Section 4F for encroachment solution strategy). Area 2: Former MDC Skating Rink Existing Conditions and Key Challenges This area includes a dense woodland on the west, a woodland border along the north and east sides, and a central disturbed area that was once an MDC skating rink and associated park- ing lot. In the woodland on the west, signs of former agricultural activity can be found, such as old apple trees. The central disturbed area is a relatively barren grassland. This area is the only large site within the study area out- side the 100-year floodplain. Therefore, it has potential to provide additional flood storage volume. The site is fairly isolated by its location between Route 2, Route 2 access ramps and Frontage Road. It provides no terrestrial habi- tat connection, although birds are able to reach RESIDENTIAL BOUNDARY TREATMENT RESIDENTIAL ABUTTER PROPERTY STABILIZED AGGREGATE TRAIL SHORELINE RESTORATION LITTLE POND WOOD FENCE AND SCREEN PLANTING 4--G' WIDTH R
