Jackson created a 15-member committee to recommend actions necessary to complete the Hudson River Walkway. Helen Manogue, Coordinator of the Quality of Life Coalition, Inc. and Secretary of the Hudson River Waterfront Conservancy has been appointed to this Walkway Strategic Planning Team. Ms. Manogue has a long history of involvement -extending back to 1977 – with getting people to the riverfront that had been off limits for over 100 years to lobbying Governor Brendan Byrne’s Hudson River Waterfront Study, Planning and Development Commission of 1980. She also served on the DEP advisory committee on walkway regulations during the 1980’s.

The Strategic Planning Team will offer “specific commitments” for Governor Jon Corzine’s consideration regarding a range of activity including planning, development and construction of the walkway; steps to be undertaken by State agencies to meet those commitments; and means of ensuring that action items become reality. John Weingart, Associate Director of the Eagleton Institute of Politics is the chair of the team.
