  • Cooper Square Committee Chrono
    Cooper Square Committee Chrono A listing of Cooper Square events and activities - including victories and defeats - from March 1959 through March 2005. Prepared by: Walter Thabit, March, 2005 Planners Network Cooper Square Committee Municipal Art Society 61 East 4thStreet Planning Center New York, NY 10003 212 228-8210 COOPER SQUARE CHRONOLOGY The Cooper Square Chronology was initiated by Thelma Burdick in March, 1959, and recorded significant events up to March, 1968. For years, it was the bible of the organization, allowing us to keep the important dates straight. Unfortunately, it has never been updated till now, and it might still be waiting to happen if there hadn't been a renewed interest in the Cooper Square story. Writers and advocate planners have interviewed old timers like myself and Frances Goldin, and after hearing of an interesting incident, then ask, "And what year was that?" Too often I didn't have a clue. So I finally decided to bring the chronology up-to-date. It has been hard work, but worth every minute. I'm not the only contributor to a chronology of events. Marci Reaven, doing a PhD. dissertation on Cooper Square has also put one together for her personal use, and I have used it to fill out some uncertain items as well as a few whose significance I missed. Also, Valerio Orselli, Cooper Square's Director for over 20 years prepared a specialized chronology of 40 membership meetings held around the issue of the rehabilitation program, the Mutual Housing Association, and the revised Cooper Square Plan. It is included here, starting in November, 1984, running through April, 1993.

  • Chapter 5.1: Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy A. INTRODUCTION
    Chapter 5.1: Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy A. INTRODUCTION This chapter describes existing land use, zoning, and public policies applicable to the proposed project and evaluates potential significant adverse effects that may result from implementation of the proposed flood protection system. Potential significant adverse effects to land use as a result of implementing the flood protection system are also evaluated. Potential land use issues include known or likely changes in current land uses within the study area, as well as the proposed project’s potential effect on existing and future land use patterns. Potential zoning and public policy issues include the compatibility of the proposed project with existing zoning and consistency with existing applicable public policies. PROJECT AREA ONE Project Area One extends from Montgomery Street on the south to the north end of John V. Lindsay East River Park (East River Park) at about East 13th Street. Project Area One consists primarily of the Franklin Delano Roosevelt East River Drive (FDR Drive) right-of-way, a portion of Pier 42 and Corlears Hook Park as well as East River Park. The majority of Project Area One is within East River Park and includes four existing pedestrian bridges across the FDR Drive to East River Park (Corlears Hook, Delancey Street, East 6th Street, and East 10th Street Bridges) and the East Houston Street overpass. Project Area One is located within Manhattan Community District 3, and borders portions of the Lower East Side and East Village neighborhoods. PROJECT AREA TWO Project Area Two extends north and east from Project Area One, from East 13th Street to East 25th Street.

    Dean *Anthony Vidler to receive ACSA Centennial Award The Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) announced today that Anthony Vidler will receive a special Centennial Award at next week’s 100th ACSA Annual Meeting in Boston. Anthony Vidler is Dean and Professor at the Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture of The Cooper Union, where he has served since 2001. The Centennial Award was created by the ACSA Board of Directors in recognition of Dean Vidler’s wide ranging contributions to architectural education. Says Judith Kinnard, FAIA, ACSA president: “Anthony Vidler’s teaching and scholarship have had a major impact on architectural education. We invited him to receive this special award during our 100th anniversary and give the keynote lecture because of his extraordinary ability to link current issues in architecture and urbanism to a broad historic trajectory. His work forces us to question our assumptions as we engage contemporary conditions as designers.” Anthony Vidler received his professional degree in architecture from Cambridge University in England, and his doctorate in History and Theory from the University of Technology, Delft, the Netherlands. Dean Vidler was a member of the Princeton University School of Architecture faculty from 1965 to 1993, serving as the William R. Kenan Jr. Chair of Architecture, the Chair of the Ph.D. Committee, and Director of the Program in European Cultural Studies. In 1993 he took up a position as professor and Chair of the Department of Art History at the University of California, Los Angeles, with a joint appointment in the School of Architecture from 1997.

  • 4 St. Mark's Place Is for Sale
    November 20, 2015 4 St. Mark’s Place is for Sale News arrived yesterday that 4 St. Mark's Place, the landmarked building whose first owner in 1833 was Alexander Hamilton’s son, is for sale. Here's the news release that we received: One of the rare surviving and significantly intact large Manhattan townhouses of the Federal period, 4 St. Mark’s Place is over 10,000 square feet and offers four, free market apartments and 5,668 square feet of retail space on the first floor and lower level. Since 1975, the retail space has been occupied by the legendary vintage clothing retailer Trash & Vaudeville, which is relocating to a new site. “The vacant retail space on the first floor and lower level will offer a new owner significant future upside on a vibrant East Village street that attracts a tremendous amount of foot traffic,” said Ron Solarz, executive managing director and principal of Eastern Consolidated. “Over 53,600 students attend major colleges and universities in the area including Cooper Union and the Manhattan Campus of St. John’s University, which are half a block from the property, and New York University, which is a few blocks away, making the area highly desirable for use as student housing.” The St. John’s University campus is located in a newly constructed 400,000-square-foot mixed-use office and retail development at 51 Astor Place, which is anchored by TAMI and financial services tenants including IBM. In addition, Cooper Union has completed construction on its state-of-the art engineering building, which includes a prominent retail space at the northeast corner of East 6th Street, and a new 17-story dormitory built on the east side of Third Avenue between St.

  • Chapter 9: Neighborhood Character
    Chapter 9: Neighborhood Character A. INTRODUCTION As defined by the City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual, neighborhood character is considered to be a combination of the many elements that creates each neighborhood’s distinct personality. These elements include land use, urban design, visual resources, historic resources, socioeconomics, traffic, and noise, as well as the other physical or social characteristics that help to describe the community. According to the CEQR Technical Manual, an assessment of neighborhood character is generally needed when the action would exceed preliminary thresholds in any one of the following areas of technical analysis: land use, urban design and visual resources, historic resources, socioeconomic conditions, transportation, or noise. An assessment is also appropriate when the action would have moderate effects on several of the aforementioned areas. Potential effects on neighborhood character may include: • Land Use. Development resulting from a proposed action could alter neighborhood character if it introduced new land uses, conflicts with land use policy or other public plans for the area, changes land use character, or generates significant land use impacts. • Socioeconomic Conditions. Changes in socioeconomic conditions have the potential to affect neighborhood character when they result in substantial direct or indirect displacement or addition of population, employment, or businesses; or substantial differences in population or employment density. • Historic Resources. When an action would result in substantial direct changes to a historic resource or substantial changes to public views of a resource, or when a historic resource analysis identified a significant impact in this category, there is a potential to affect neighborhood character. • Urban Design and Visual Resources.

    Dear Community Partners, “Challenging” seems both an accurate and yet inadequate word to describe the last year as we confronted - as a nation and as a community - a series of crises from public health and economic dislocation to reckonings over racial justice and equity. Through it all, the Union Square Partnership played an important role in seeking to keep residents and businesses informed and connected, guiding them to resources, and working with relevant city agencies to support the district. What started as a COVID response turned to a COVID recovery agenda and by the fall of 2020, we released the #USQNext District Recovery Plan. This plan was aimed at accelerating the resumption of business activity and introducing quality of life improvements to continue the upward trend the neighborhood was enjoying prior to the pandemic. UNION SQUARE-14TH STREET HAS DEMONSTRATED INCREDIBLE RESILIENCE OVER THE PAST YEAR, AND THE DISTRICT IS WELL-POSITIONED TO REBOUND This year’s Annual Report is organized around the five pillars of the recovery plan, including reemphasizing core services like sanitation, beautification, and public safety coordination, bolstering our marketing efforts, and pursuing exciting new projects in the bold District Vision Plan released this past January. Most important, we would like to take a moment to express gratitude for the tireless dedication of frontline workers and essential service providers who kept our city functioning and to acknowledge the loss of loved ones that has affected so many. We hold each of you in our hearts. We are committed to championing the district’s recovery With spring blooming in our area, vaccinations on the rise, and life through the vital programs outlined in our #USQNext District Recovery Plan.
