  • Strategic Policy Statement 2014 Melinda Katz
    THE OFFICE OF THE QUEENS BOROUGH PRESIDENT Strategic Policy Statement 2014 Melinda Katz Queens Borough President The Borough of Queens is home to more than 2.3 million residents, representing more than 120 countries and speaking more than 135 languages1. The seamless knit that ties these distinct cultures and transforms them into shared communities is what defines the character of Queens. The Borough’s diverse population continues to steadily grow. Foreign-born residents now represent 48% of the Borough’s population2. Traditional immigrant gateways like Sunnyside, Woodside, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Corona, and Flushing are now communities with the highest foreign-born population in the entire city3. Immigrant and Intercultural Services The immigrant population remains largely underserved. This is primarily due to linguistic and cultural barriers. Residents with limited English proficiency now represent 28% of the Borough4, indicating a need for a wide range of social service support and language access to City services. All services should be available in multiple languages, and outreach should be improved so that culturally sensitive programming can be made available. The Borough President is actively working with the Queens General Assembly, a working group organized by the Office of the Queens Borough President, to address many of these issues. Cultural Queens is amidst a cultural transformation. The Borough is home to some of the most iconic buildings and structures in the world, including the globally recognized Unisphere and New York State Pavilion. Areas like Astoria and Long Island City are establishing themselves as major cultural hubs. In early 2014, the New York City Council designated the area surrounding Kaufman Astoria Studios as the city’s first arts district through a City Council Proclamation The areas unique mix of adaptively reused residential, commercial, and manufacturing buildings serve as a catalyst for growth in culture and the arts.

    The Queens Ribbon The proposed “Queens Ribbon” a bicycle-pedestrian bridge connecting Queens to Manhattan (rendering by T.Y. Lin International).

Worldwide Bicycle-Pedestrian Bridges B. Bicycling Growth in New York City C. Level of Service on East River Bridges D. Our Team 2 1. Introduction At the start of the Covid-19 crisis a group of transportation engineers began working together, on a pro bono basis, to develop a transportation system that would provide an almost risk-free method of travel to Manhattan’s Central Business District (CBD – Manhattan south of Central Park). The impetus for this grouping was the realization that the city may face similar epidemics, a severe flu season, or other man-made or natural disasters in the future. Experience told the group that the two forms of transportation that are most risk-free from both infections and crashes are walking and bicycling. These “active transportation” options are also healthy modes that burn calories, and build muscle, bone, heart, and lung strength while improving mental and emotional health. From this discussion, the idea of a bicycle-pedestrian bridge was born. Importantly, these facilities would be equitable. Costs to use them would be a pair of shoes or a bicycle. The group included teams from the Institute of Design & Each bridge could handle Construction (IDC) Innovation Hub of the NYU Tandon School approximately 20,000 people of Engineering, T.Y.

  • CROSS HARBOR FREIGHT PROGRAM Needs Assessment
    CROSS HARBOR FREIGHT PROGRAM Needs Assessment September 2010 Cross Harbor Freight Program Needs Assessment A. PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND OPPORTUNTIES The greater New York/New Jersey/Connecticut region is the financial center of the United States economy, the nation’s largest consumer market, and a major hub of entertainment, services, fashion, and culture. The region receives, processes, and distributes raw materials, intermediate products, and finished consumer goods, which move to and from the rest of the United States and countries around the world. To fully understand the existing freight market for the region and forecast its future conditions, a 54-county, multi-state Cross Harbor modeling study area has been established, comprising portions of southern New York, northern and central New Jersey, western and southern Connecticut, and a portion of eastern Pennsylvania (see Figure 1). In 2007, more than 920 million tons of freight moved to, from, within, and through the 54- county Cross Harbor modeling study area by surface transportation modes (truck and rail). Excluding through traffic, nearly 690 million tons were handled, and 93.2 percent of this tonnage was handled by truck. By 2035, it is forecast that nearly 1.2 billion tons of freight will be moved to, from, within, or through the study area by truck and rail. Excluding through traffic, more than 860 million tons will be handled by truck and rail, and 92.5 percent of this tonnage will be handled by truck. Between 2007 and 2035, the study area truck tonnage will increase by around 160 million tons and rail tonnage will increase by around 18 million tons (excluding through traffic).

  • Farm Fresh a Growing List of Community-Supported Agriculture
    Farm Fresh Summer 2010 A growing list of community-supported agriculture programs offer a different kind of "fast food" Written by Sue Sanders • Photographed by Maggie Wood Shortly after being plucked from the field and washed, the arugula is boxed, loaded on pallets, then placed in refrigerated boxes on Golden Earthworm Farm's truck. The greens are driven for about 90 minutes, from eastern Long Island to St. Mark's Church in Jackson Heights. At the church, the truck is unloaded and boxes are set up for neighborhood residents to pick up. Later that evening, Farm Spot coordinator Sonya Gropman drizzles some of the arugula with olive oil and red wine vinegar, if anything. "It's so fresh it doesn't really need any dressing," she insists. Twenty-four hours from farm to fork, for less than what she'd pay at a supermarket. For Gropman, a healthy meal is as easy as CSA. The letters stand for community-supported agriculture, and while programs like Gropman's Farm Spot have been growing as quickly as asparagus, many Queens residents are still mystified by what they are. CSA programs offer a direct farm-to-customer relationship, eliminating the middlemen. A neighborhood CSA is usually farm-specific when it comes to vegetables. A customer plunks down cash upfront to purchase a "share" in this farm for a full growing season (usually June through October).
