Introduction The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and New York City Transit (NYCT) operate the least accessible major subway system in the country for people who require stair-free access. Nearly 30 years after the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, only 23% of the city’s subway stations have elevators. These elevators break down often, rendering even fewer stations accessible to those with mobility impairments. The paucity of accessible stations combined with this high degree of unreliability makes journeys unpredictable, vastly extending travel times, rerouting riders, and making trip planning impossible. These elevators are also notoriously dirty and malodorous, a persistent problem that is symptomatic of overall neglect.

  • BATTLING for BROOKLYN HEIGHTS by Martin L
    1 BATTLING FOR BROOKLYN HEIGHTS by Martin L. Schneider Introduction Anthony C. Wood Preservation in New York City has achieved such a level of success that it risks being taken for granted by new generations of New Yorkers; a fate that could translate into a future of unnecessarily lost buildings and disfigured historic neighborhoods. December 2009 saw the designation of the city’s 100th historic district and 2010 marks the 45th anniversary of the passage of New York City’s hard won landmarks law. Preservation in New York certainly has come of age. Contributing to the possibility that future New Yorkers may misguidedly assume preservation is now the city’s default policy position (tragically ignoring the cold reality that the blood of most New York powerbrokers still races at the mere mention of real estate development) is the fact that preservationists have largely failed to tell their stories of the often heroic efforts required to save the city’s landmarks and historic districts. One wonderful exception to this is the story of the saving of Brooklyn Heights. Thanks to the prescience and dedication of those involved in this battle, the struggle to save Brooklyn Heights is the best documented of all New York City’s preservation sagas. Today we are fortunate to have available to us extensive newspaper accounts from that time, numerous original documents, oral histories and personal remembrances. If only the same could be said for other significant chapters in preservation’s history. Thanks to Martin L. Schneider, we now can add to the existing material on Brooklyn Heights, this compelling narrative “Battling for Brooklyn Heights.” Told through the eyes of a witness to history and capturing the emotions of one who lived through it, Mr.

    Assemblymember 52nd District Announcements & Upcoming Events No vember 2019 A Message from Jo Anne… Clark Street Station Survey Results: Earlier this year, MTA New York City Transit’s (NYCT) identified a critical need to replace the three elevators that serve the 2/3 Clark Street subway station in Brooklyn Heights. NYCT has proposed two approaches to this work: (i) replacing all elevators simultaneously, which would require shutting the station entirely for 8 months, or (ii) replacing the elevators one at a time. Under this latter approach, two options were proposed: a 24- month project, permitting the station to be open 24 hours a day throughout the construction period (except during emergencies when one of the two remaining elevators fails) or a 22-month project, permitting the station to be open during peak hours (again, except during emergencies). I worked with Senator Brian Kavanagh, Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, and City Council Member Stephen Levin to host a community forum where NYCT President Andy Byford discussed the possible options for renovation. In order to gauge public opinion regarding the approaches, our offices also conducted a survey at the forum, at the station, and online. The survey results include the following highlights: Overall, 62% of respondents preferred one-elevator-at-a-time replacement, with either a 22- or 24-month duration, while 38% preferred full closure with an 8-month duration. While the great majority (86%) of survey respondents completed the survey at the station or online, it is worth noting that of the 14% who responded at the forum, most tended to differ from the opinions of the majority who completed the survey at the station or online.

  • Snapshot of Snowstorm Complaints to the Office of the Public Advocate
    72 Hour Storm Watch: Snapshot of Snowstorm Complaints to the Office of the Public Advocate December 30, 2010 Visit the Office of the Public Advocate on the web at advocate.nyc.gov, call the Office at 212-669-7250 or email at [email protected] OFFICE OF THE NEW YORK CITY PUBLIC ADVOCATE Bill de Blasio Public Advocate for the City of New York Prepared By: Emma Wolfe Chief of Staff Ursulina Ramirez Senior Policy Associate Irum Taqi, Esq. Deputy General Counsel Wiley Norvell Press Secretary 1 Introduction On December 26, 2010 New York City experienced the sixth largest snowstorm in City history1, with snow falls upward of 20 inches2 in some neighborhoods. The storm had a crippling effect on many of the City’s vital services such as transportation, emergency response systems and access to hospitals. Additionally, it brought many neighborhoods to a halt, especially those in the outer-boroughs. Although it is difficult to predict the severity of large storms, the lack of snow clearance in many areas of the City raises concerns over the preparation and planning for this winter’s first large snowstorm. Despite the difficulty in predicting the impact of storms, it has become overwhelmingly evident that the City was ill-prepared to handle such a large and fast approaching storm, and there is minimal public information about the City’s planning and preparation for the storm and how it will improve its efforts in the future. During the seventy-two hour period after the storm hit New York City, the Office of the Public Advocate (“Office”) catalogued nearly 950 complaints from anxious and stranded constituents due to the impact of the snowstorm.
