We hope you will come by soon for a visit, as we look forward to showing you, in person, the incredible transformation of this amazing site. La Marina, as with most of our City’s parks, can’t be fully experienced without the context of the surrounding urban neighborhood or the scale of the panorama. We also want you to see first-hand how much thought and operational oversight go into simultaneously running multiple zones and various types of programming. As you requested, we are attaching the letters of support we received from elected officials representing the community surrounding La Marina, as well as a letter from the former inspector for the 34th Precinct. The Precinct has performed sound meter reading during our live music events, and has confirmed that sound levels are well below the legal limits. The new inspector from the 34th Precinct, Chris Morello, has also inspected La Marina multiple times since he joined the Precinct this summer and confirmed that sound from La Marina is not affecting the surrounding community. Please reach out to Inspector Morello directly if there is still a question on the sound issue. We have also been inspected repeatedly by the FDNY, the Department of Health, New York State Liquor Authority, and the Department of Buildings. Each agency has certified that La Marina is fully compliant with all applicable laws, rules and regulations and that no unsafe or illegal conditions exist. We spend significant resources to make sure that, at all times, our operations are efficient, transparent and legally compliant. Despite these efforts, there were (and perhaps still are) some people in the Parks Department who did not share our vision of La Marina – and were not constructive partners in what has become a highly successful private/public venture. Additionally there is a small but vocal community activist group that opposes La Marina and other new establishments in the community. This group actively lobbies Parks to place restrictions on La Marina, calls city and state agencies to file false complaints of violations, and papers local officials with letters and petitions. While these 30 to 50 people strongly oppose La Marina, there are thousands that love what we have created in their community. Our restaurant has been awarded by Opentable’s Diner’s Choice for best “outdoor dining” and “scenic view” in the tri-state area, and listed as one of the best restaurants on the Upper West Side. In the past 2 weeks, we were mentioned in AM New York and The Robb Report: “Our pick for the most transporting venue in New York, La Marina, feels more like Saint Barts than uptown Manhattan” -- Robb Report Our lounge and beach areas are exceptionally popular, and offer a safe, fun environment for people to enjoy within their own community. People now come to Inwood to enjoy themselves instead of community dollars migrating south to other neighborhoods. La Marina Beach is an economic engine for Upper Manhattan. It was also Mayor De Blasio’s favorite part of La Marina when he visited. Residents and officials in our community credit La Marina as a catalyst for the renaissance that is transforming Inwood into the safe and livable neighborhood it is today, which is a major change from the Inwood / Washington Heights of 5 years ago. Since we opened, crime in the immediate area has decreased, and a once rough area is now safe to walk at night. We have also created over 300 jobs, and have pumped millions of dollars into the local economy. Over the years we have worked closely with Charles Kloth and Commissioner Castro to constantly improve our business and community relations. They have both been supportive of our efforts to try and achieve a fair balance between these opposing views of what La Marina should be. We will continue to meet with community leaders and Manhattan Community Board 12 to address any concerns from the community during our busy season. There are still a few issue that we touched on during our last meeting that need attention, so we hope to keep this conversation active and that you will visit La Marina soon for a followup. Should we contact your office to setup a time for the meeting? Congratulations again on your appointment, and we look forward to working with you and your team. Sincerely, Fernando Mateo Josh Rosen From: Josh Rosen To: Silver, Mitchell (Parks) Cc: Perez, Roberto; Hatch, Peter; "Fernando Mateo"; DeLauro, Dorothy (Parks) Subject: RE: La Marina Date: Wednesday, June 18, 2014 1:50:50 PM Dear Commissioner Silver, Thank you for the quick reply, and I will reach out to Dorothy now to setup the site visit and follow up meeting.

The implementation of ranked choice voting—in tandem with the impact of the pandemic on our city’s civic fabric, the massive turnover in city government leadership due to term limits and the uncharacteristically large field of candidates vying for mayor—creates an unprecedented opportunity for civic engagement to spur long-term change. Voting in both the primary and general elections can ensure that our next elected leaders commit to ending homelessness. New York City needs a leader who will create the structures and systems that prioritize permanent housing over emergency shelter, ultimately making homelessness a rare, brief and nonrecurring experience for New Yorkers. Even with more than 8.4 million people in New York City, each voter’s voice matters. In 2013—the last mayoral election year without an incumbent—only 22% of registered Democratic voters (fewer than 700,000 people) participated in the primary election.

During the primary election on June 22, New Yorkers will have a say in how the City moves forward from the pandemic. Every citywide office is on the ballot, including Mayor. As usual, the mayoral field is crowded. The leading Democratic contenders currently registering in the polls are Eric Adams, Shaun Donovan, Kathryn Garcia, Ray McGuire, Dianne Morales, Scott Stringer, Maya Wiley, and Andrew Yang. In addition, there are two Republican candidates: Fernando Mateo and Curtis Sliwa. Regardless of who wins, Bill de Blasio’s successor will have to deal with the pandemic’s aftermath, as well the unprecedented economic disruption it has wrought on New Yorkers and the City. Among the many policy decisions the new mayor must make will be those affecting transportation—or, as it has been variously referred to by the candidates, the “central nervous system,” “heartbeat,” and “lifeblood” of the City. From busways, bike lanes, and Open Streets to traffic congestion, Vision Zero, aggressive emissions and climate-change goals, the next mayor will shape the way people and goods move around the City for years to come.
