    NYC PARKS 2013 City of New York Parks & Recreation Michael R. Bloomberg, Mayor Patricia E. Harris, First Deputy Mayor Veronica M. White, Commissioner nyc.gov/parks 1 2 This is our rush hour. Welcome to NYC Parks. 3 These are our big leaguers. This is our top floor. These are our unique visitors. These are our movers and shakers. These are our head honchos. These are our liquid assets. MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG A WORD FROM FIRST DEPUTY MAYOR PATRICIA E. HARRIS PARKS COMMISSIONER VERONICA M. WHITE Dear Friends: New York has come a long way in building an environmentally-sustainable future, and with more than 29,800 acres of parkland, we are well on our way to becoming the greenest city in America. Our city’s parks improve quality of life for all New Yorkers, and over the last 12 years, our Administration has invested $5 billion in rebuilding, revitalizing, and preserving these essential resources. Through NYC Parks, we have created and restored new outdoor spaces in every borough. In Queens, industrial areas have been replaced with Elmhurst Park and Hunter’s Point South Waterfront Park. We transformed the Bronx River and its shoreline into a clean, peaceful environment for park-goers of all ages. Manhattan is now home to one of our most innovative parks, the High Line, which has redefined the West Side. Brooklyn Bridge, Transmitter, and Bushwick Inlet Parks have brought new life to the industrial Brooklyn waterfront. And in Staten Island, the Fresh Kills landfill will soon become our city’s largest new park in more than a century.

We would also like to thank our colleagues at the Mayor’s Office of Data Analytics, New York City Cyber Command, Department for the Aging, Department of City Planning, Department of Parks and Recreation, Department of Youth and Community Development, and the New York City Housing Authority, as well as our partners at the Brooklyn Public Library, New York Public Library, and Queens Public Library. We also drew on expert information provided to us by the Wi-Fi Alliance through their response to our NYC Connected Citywide Broadband Request for Information; the Wi-Fi Alliance did not review the contents of the report and are not responsible for any of its conclusions or recommendations. Truth in Broadband: Public Wi-Fi in New York City 2 The Goals of NYC Connected Ensure high-quality internet everywhere We’re working to guarantee high-quality service and continuous improvements are available to the entire city. Eliminate cost as a barrier to access We’re making internet service affordable to ensure all New Yorkers can access this essential utility. Make the internet a just and equitable platform We’re educating and engaging our communities to support equitable use of the internet and to address the complexities that come with its expansion – especially issues of privacy and net neutrality. These goals require “Truth in Broadband” to equip New Yorkers with reliable, accessible information about the quality of their internet service, the options available to them, and how their services compare with the rest of the city.
