Project construction has the potential to substantially alter the scenic character of the Project area, herein called the Tappan Zee Corridor. Construction activities will include permanent ancillary bridge structures at the South Nyack shoreline, a shared use path for pedestrians and cyclists, constructed slopes, construction disturbance that results in the removal of vegetative ground cover, the removal of mature deciduous trees, and impacts to mature trees on properties neighboring the ROW. While the Tappan Zee Corridor is one whose roadsides are constricted in width due to immediate, adjacent properties which are suburban, residential in character (See Exhibits____), the goal of the Agencies is to preserve and enhance Corridor scenic and aesthetic qualities. The DB Visual Quality staff with the Agencies (refer to Section 13) shall develop design measures, and, with input from stakeholder groups and involved communities, develop Aesthetic Guidelines to achieve this goal. The aesthetic goals of the LD plans shall be achieved by
