Saw Mill River 'Daylight' Tour  Sunday, March 24  at 11 a.m.  Yonkers, NY  Saw Mill River underground - Steve Duncan Sawmill 'daylighted' - Steve Duncan After nearly  a century of being buried in a concrete flume, Yonkers has completed the unearthing or "daylighting" of the Saw Mill River whereby a parking lot adjacent to the Yonkers Metro North Station was recently transformed into a river-themed park.  This tour will explore the confluence of the Saw Mill River and the Hudson Rivers.  What once served the agricultural needs of the Native Americans and early Dutch and English settlers, and later as the source of power for an industrial based economy is now leading the way for the City of Yonkers revitalization efforts.  The tour will focus on the new Van Der Donck Park and will include a "behind the scenes" description of its design and construction over the past four years and efforts to daylight the next phases of the Saw Mill River.   Mario Caruso, a city planner who worked on the Saw Mill daylighting project will lead the tour. Tickets available here
