Hudson River waterfronts don't want oil ships barging in on their revitalized neighborhoods

A barge and tugboat anchored along the Hudson River near Yonkers, N.Y. Officials and many residents say a plan from the maritime industry to create 10 anchorage sites on the river would be a step backward for communities that have worked hard to shed their industrial pasts. Under the proposal, Yonkers and two villages to the north, Hastings-on-Hudson and Dobbs Ferry, would have by far the most barges at anchor, with 16 berths spread across 715 acres on the water.
