This report measures the state of parks in Brooklyn. There are many different kinds of parks — active, passive, and pocket — and this report focuses on active parks that have a mix of amenities and uses. It is important for Brooklynites to have a pleasant park in their neighborhood to enjoy open space, meet their neighbors, play, and relax. While park equity is integral to creating One Brooklyn — a place where all residents can enjoy outdoor recreation and relaxation — fulfilling the vision of community parks first depends on measuring our current state of parks. This report will be used as a tool to guide my parks capital allocations and recommendations to the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks), as well as to identify recommendations to improve advocacy for parks at the community and grassroots level in order to improve neighborhoods across the borough.

This spring, we’ve organized a restoration cleanup and marsh planting at Plum Beach, a section of Gateway National Recreation Area and a major spawning beach for the ancient horseshoe crab. In May and June during the high tides, the crabs come ashore to lay their eggs as they’ve done for millions of years. This provides a critical food source for the many species of shorebirds that are migrating through New York City. Small fi sh such as mummichogs and killifi sh join in the feast as well.

  • TOTALLY BOGUS a Study of Parking Permit Abuse in NYC
    TOTALLY BOGUS A Study of Parking Permit Abuse in NYC *Permits above depict a ratio of city-wide permit use: 43 percent permits used legally vs. 57 percent used illegally contents 3-4 ExecutivE SUmmArY 5-6 PUrpose ANd mEThOdology 6 DetaiLEd CitywidE Results 7 dOwntowN BrOOklyn 8 CiviC CENTEr, mANhattan 9 JAmAica, QUEENS 10 ConcourSE village, ThE BrONx 11 ST. GeorGE, Staten iSLANd 12 RecommENdatiONS 13 rEFErENCES 2 TOTALLY BOGUS eXECUtIVe sUMMARY New York CitY made sweepiNg ChaNges to the CitY’s free parkiNg sYstem for government workers in 2008. The number of parking permits was slashed by 46 percent, to 78,000 permits. By handing out fewer parking passes each year, the City is encouraging more civil servants to ride public transit, easing traffic congestion while freeing up parking spots for others. Despite the reduction in city-issued parking permits, the system remains broken. Each step in the process—from creation of the permits, to distribution and enforcement—is fatally flawed, creating a system wrought with abuse and lacking effective oversight. In the present study, researchers at Transportation Alternatives canvassed five New York City neighborhoods and found that a majority of permit holders—57 percent—were either agency permits used to park illegally—double-parking or ditching their cars on sidewalks and bus lanes, or totally bogus permits. The study found that 24 percent of permits on display were illicitly photocopied, fraudulent or otherwise invalid. Clearly, further reform is needed. Modernizing New York City’s two-tiered parking system can help local businesses by freeing up space for customers and deliveries.
