Adaptation In the early stages of the development of public transportation systems in New York City, all operations were run by private companies. Abraham Brower established New York City's first public transportation route in 1827, a 12-seat stagecoach that ran along Broadway in Manhattan from the Battery to Bleecker Street. By 1831, Brower had added the omnibus to his fleet. The next year, John Mason organized the New York and Harlem Railroad, a street railway that used horse-drawn cars with metal wheels and ran on a metal track. By 1855, 593 omnibuses traveled on 27 Manhattan routes and horse-drawn cars ran on street railways on Third, Fourth, Sixth, and Eighth Avenues. Toward the end of the 19th century, electricity allowed for the development of electric trolley cars, which soon replaced horses. Trolley bus lines, also called trackless trolley coaches, used overhead lines for power. Staten Island was the first borough outside Manhattan to receive these electric trolley cars in the 1920s, and then finally Brooklyn joined the fun in 1930. By 1960, however, motor buses completely replaced New York City public transit trolley cars and trolley buses. The city's first regular elevated railway (el) service began on February 14, 1870. The El ran along Greenwich Street and Ninth Avenue in Manhattan. Elevated train service dominated rapid transit for the next few decades. On September 24, 1883, a Brooklyn Bridge cable-powered railway opened between Park Row in Manhattan and Sands Street in Brooklyn, carrying passengers over the bridge and back.
  • Gowanus Gentrified?

    Gowanus Gentrified?

    Gowanus Gentrified? Community Responses to Gentrification and Economic Development in the Shadow of the Superfund Michael Spitzer-Rubenstein Senior Thesis for the Urban Studies Program Barnard College, Columbia University Submitted April 18, 2012 Thesis Advisor: Meredith Linn Abstract Gowanus is an industrial neighborhood changing into a gentrified area, but it faces such severe pollution that the EPA designated the Gowanus Canal, which bisects the area, a Superfund site in 2010. The industry still in Gowanus includes a mix of traditional industrial businesses, craft industries, and artists, but they might disappear if developers build luxury condos in the neighborhood. This study looks at the clash between activists over how the community has and will change, focusing on the pro-development Gowanus Canal Community Development Corporation and the preservationist and pro-Superfund Friends and Residents of Greater Gowanus. Many local activists embrace the vision of Gowanus as a place for making things and hope to maintain industry. Even though industry left the neighborhood polluted, most do not connect the two. The Superfund seeks to clean up the neighborhood but it may pave the way for environmental gentrification, which is the pollution cleanup causing gentrification. However, fears of the Superfund harming home prices do not appear to be true; GIS analysis shows that land closest to environmental hazards increased the most in value. Residents also hope to avoid the experiences of other New York neighborhoods, which saw gentrification cause displacement. More than residential displacement, though, activists worry about the culture of Gowanus disappearing and hope to save it. Their remedies such as historic preservation and zoning Gowanus for mixed use may not be effective or viable, though.

    PROSPECT PARK PRIMARY SOURCE PACKET Student Name Prospect Park Primary Source Packet INTRODUCTORY READING "Timeline." Park History. Prospect Park Alliance, Web. 28 Jan 2014. ADAPTATION In 1834, the City of Brooklyn was chartered, and during the next 30 years it became the third largest city in the country, following only New York (Manhattan) and Philadelphia. Thousands of European immigrants settled in the growing city and sprawling farms gave way to homes. At the same time public parks were gaining popularity in America. Beginning in 1858, the design team of Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux transformed more than 800 acres of jagged rock into Central Park in Manhattan. It was the first landscaped public park in the United States. Soon after a movement grew in Brooklyn for a park of its own. Leading the effort was James Stranahan, a businessman and civic leader. In the early 1860s, Stranahan argued that a park in Brooklyn "would become a favorite resort for all classes of our community, enabling thousands to enjoy pure air, with healthful exercise, at all seasons of the year…." Calvert Vaux sketched Prospect Park’s present layout for Stranahan. Vaux convinced Olmsted to join the effort, and construction of the park began on July 1, 1866 under their supervision. Olmsted and Vaux’s plan included rolling green meadows, carriage drives with scenic lookouts, waterfalls, springs and a forest. Organized sports gained popularity throughout the first half of the 1900s and the Park continued to host parades and celebrations that drew huge crowds. Parks Commissioner Robert Moses opened the zoo, bandshell and several playgrounds in the 1930s.
