Comprised of seven zip codes, (11203, 11205, 11206, 11216, 11221, 11233 and 11238), CB3 has its boundaries on Flushing Avenue in the north, Broadway in the northeast, Saratoga Avenue in the east, Classon Avenue in the west and Atlantic Avenue in the south. Sometimes referred to as “Brooklyn’s Little Harlem,” Bedford-Stuyvesant has served as a home for many well-known artists such as Grammy-nominated singer Aaliyah, famous rappers Jay-Z and Mos Def, and actors Chris Rock and Vanessa Williams, among many others. CB3’s population consists largely of African American families, but also includes many other races, ethnicities and cultures. The landscape of the community is well known for its rows of brownstone style houses. Northeast Brooklyn Housing Development Corporation has been working in CB3 over 26 years. There are a wealth of assets and opportunities available in the neighborhoods of Brooklyn CB3. We hope that this guide will serve as a useful way for residents to find resources within their community - to fully access these opportunities, to know who to contact, and where to find more information. 5 Community Board #3 Committees For more information regarding CB3 committees, visit http://cb3bedstuy.org/ or call 718-622-6601 General CB3 Meetings Health and Social Services Every 1st Monday, at Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Chairperson: Edna Johnson Plaza Meetings: Every 1st Tuesday, 6:30pm at the Board 1368 Fulton Street, Multi-Service Room (basement) Office Civic and Public Safety Housing and Land Use Chairperson: Kim Best Chairpersons: L.

  • S P R I N G 20 18
    S P R I N G 2018 URBAN REVIEW LETTER FROM THE EDITORS A magazine of the Hunter College Planning is inherently political; this is something that Hunter students know well. The Introduction Department of to Planning course has many students reading entire books on problem solving and policy analysis, Urban Affairs & Planning as we aspire to not simply write plans from afar but to affect change, using our skills as planners to SPRING ‘18 advocate within the imperfect and at times broken realm of politics. STAFF However, politics is not simply a tool to accomplish goals of planning. Planning itself is a powerful Editors in Chief political tool, one that can be used to accomplish and demonstrate political goals. A zoning change, a Aly Hassell parking limit, or a design for a park are not technical planning decisions but are pronouncements of Atara Lindenbaum priorities, of political goals, and of particular visions of space and community. Our responsibility as future planners is to probe this technical side of planning, determining its larger context. Layout and Design Editor Aly Hassell This issue of Urban Review had the privilege to feature two accomplished and active planners: Com- missioner Mitchell Silver of the NYC Parks Department and Dr. Lester King, Sustainability Planner Writers James Hull in Houston, TX. Both Silver and King emphasize the need for proper community engagement and Beatriz Gil dialogue. Vicky Garvey Ranjana Venkatesh It is time to ask, however, if this focus on process, on stakeholder engagement and communication Atara Lindenbaum suffices. Equitable planning processes may be inherently positive improvements, but our cities, our Andy Lawson Michael Kralovich people, need equitable results as well.

  • Improving Bus Service in New York a Thesis Presented to The
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Columbia University Academic Commons Improving Bus Service in New York A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Architecture and Planning COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY In Partial Fulfillment Of the requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Urban Planning By Charles Romanow May 2018 Abstract New York City’s transportation system is in a state of disarray. City street are clogged with taxi’s and for-hire vehicles, subway platforms are packed with straphangers waiting for delayed trains and buses barely travel faster than pedestrians. The bureaucracy of City and State government in the region causes piecemeal improvements which do not keep up with the state of disrepair. Bus service is particularly poor, moving at rates incomparable with the rest of the country. New York has recently made successful efforts at improving bus speeds, but only so much can be done amidst a city of gridlock. Bus systems around the world faced similar challenges and successfully implemented improvements. A toolbox of near-immediate and long- term options are at New York’s disposal dealing directly with bus service as well indirect causes of poor bus service. The failing subway system has prompted public discussion concerning bus service. A significant cause of poor service in New York is congestion. A number of measures are capable of improving congestion and consequently, bus service. Due to the city’s limited capacity at implementing short-term solutions, the most highly problematic routes should receive priority. Routes with slow speeds, high rates of bunching and high ridership are concentrated in Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn which also cater to the most subway riders.
