  • ANNUAL REPORT 543 Union Street #1E Brooklyn, NY 11215 718.541.4378 GOWANUS CANAL CONSERVANCY 2015 ANNUAL REPORT Dear Friends, Partners and Members
    2015 ANNUAL REPORT 543 Union Street #1E Brooklyn, NY 11215 718.541.4378 GOWANUS CANAL CONSERVANCY 2015 ANNUAL REPORT Dear Friends, Partners and Members, Since its inception, the Conservancy has advocated for an open space network that would support and protect the health of the Gowanus Canal while providing access to its shores and vibrant public parks and corridors for the people who live, work and play in the neighborhood. In 2015, that vision started to become a reality. Construction began on the Sponge Park, which will transform the end of 2nd Street into a canal-fronting park that captures and filters stormwater. Additionally, as plans for new development and Superfund-related infrastructure emerge on the north end of the canal, it is clear that better (and more) public space is a priority, particularly along the canal’s edge. As these projects unfold, we are working closely with diverse local partners like Fifth Avenue Committee, Gowanus Alliance, Arts Gowanus, Old Stone House and others to ensure that these emerging public spaces not only reflect the community’s interests, priorities and needs, but weave together into an interconnected Greenscape, maximizing the health, resiliency, vibrancy and beauty of our Gowanus neighborhood. Throughout the next year, we will continue to reach out to residents, businesses and partners to get your input on the priorities for the Greenscape, with an eye toward designing a community-based masterplan that reflects the unique qualities of Gowanus. To learn more about the Greenscape initiative and how you can help, please visit our website www. gowanuscanalconservancy.org. We not only welcome your input, we need it! Ben Jones Board Chair LETTER FROM THE CHAIR SMITH ST ATLANTIC AVE GOWANUS WATERSHED PROSPECT PARK We envision the evolution of an Open, Clean and Alive Gowanus Canal and Watershed with accessible, connective open space; clean water, soil and air; and vibrant ecological, business and cultural activity.

    This Week In New York/Page 1 This Week in New York Covering New York State and City Government A Publication of Pitta Bishop & Del Giorno LLC September 27, 2019 Edition Shanah Tovah from Pitta Bishop & Del Giorno LLC In the News – State Governor Breaks Ground on New Belmont Park Arena Governor Andrew Cuomo joined the New York Islanders, National Hockey League Commissioner Gary Bettman, local leaders and hockey fans to break ground on the New York Islanders' new arena at Belmont Park, the centerpiece of the $1.3 billion Belmont Park Redevelopment. In addition, Governor Cuomo announced the team has agreed to play 28 regular season games at the Nassau Veteran's Memorial Coliseum during the 2019-2020 season, seven more than previously planned. {00665744.DOCX / }Pitta Bishop & Del Giorno LLC, 111 Washington Avenue, Albany, New York. (518) 449-3320 Theresa Cosgrove, editor, [email protected] This Week In New York/Page 2 "The Islanders belong on Long Island — and today we start building the state-of-the-art home this team and their fans deserve while generating thousands of jobs and billions in economic activity for the region's economy," Governor Cuomo said. "With seven more Islanders games at the Coliseum this season, fans will have even more opportunities to see their favorite team and generate momentum for the move to their new home in two years. At the end of the day this project is about building on two great Long Island traditions - Belmont Park and the Islanders - and making them greater than ever." Announced in December 2017, the Belmont Redevelopment Project will turn 43 acres of underutilized parking lots at Belmont Park into a premier sports and hospitality destination, including a new 19,000-seat arena for the New York Islanders hockey team and other events, a 250-key hotel, a retail village and office and community space.

NYC Council District 45 Special Election Questionnaire About Us Launched in 2017, Voters For Animal Rights (VFAR) is a New York based 501c(4) grassroots multi-issue animal advocacy organization that is building political power for animals. Our mission is to elect candidates who support animal protection, lobby for stronger laws to stop animal cruelty, and hold elected officials accountable to humane voters. VFAR mobilizes public concern for animals through the political process. We know that animal protection is not only a moral issue but a bi-partisan political issue as well. Over 90% of Americans believe that animals need protection from abuse and exploitation. To that end, we organize humane voters to support candidates that care about animals. If you support animals, then we want to support you! There are over 60,000 humane voters throughout New York state, hundreds of which are volunteers for VFAR who are ready to knock on doors, make phone calls and get out the vote to elect people that will stand up for animals. We deliver the vote – for the animals and for you. As an example, here is our animal-friendly voter guide from the NYC Special Election for Public Advocate.

    THE LEGISLATURE STATE OF NEW YORK ALBANY January 14, 2021 Honorable Bill de Blasio Mayor of the City of New York City Hall, New York, NY 10007 Dear Mayor de Blasio: In these diffiCult times, we applaud you and the Chancellor for starting the hard work of developing a proaCtive plan to Close the “COVID aChievement gap” experienced by many students throughout the City. We reCognize that the details of this plan are still being determined. We write today to make several recommendations for you to consider as you work to address both the achievement gap in academic, social and physical skill areas and the regression of life among the approximately 200,000 students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). Unlike other students, this population of Children may never catch up on what was lost during the days of remote learning. With regard to the effort to provide families the option of blended or remote instruction models, appropriate staffing has beCome a Challenge, partiCularly for students with IEPs.

I have proposed $15.24 billion in potential savings and revenue for our city’s budget in order to invest $827 million in spending on programs that support children, families, seniors, and our planet that will reduce costs and generate revenues. In 2014, we inherited a $68.5 billion expense budget that has since grown by more than 30% to $92.8 billion. Surely in this $24.3 billion in growth we can find opportunities for cost savings, as we also reexamine the initial $68.5 billion, we inherited. As a city we must seek capital savings, find ways to significantly and responsibly reduce the NYPD budget, and examine clawing back real property tax exemptions, cancelling irresponsible contracts, and maintaining spending for programs that avoid costs and generate revenue. The city’s budget must continue to reflect our values by investing in our youth, families, and seniors. We must maintain summer programs (summer youth employment & summer SONYC), expand 3-K, reopen parks and beaches, and provide seniors the support they need through their local senior centers.

    The Geography—and New Politics—of Housing in New York City Public Housing Tom Waters, Community Service Society of New York, November 2018 The 178,000 public housing apartments owned and operated by the New York City Housing Authority are often de- scribed as “a city within a city.” The Community Service Society has estimated the numbers of public housing apartments for the New York City portion of each legislative district in the city. These estimates were made by assigning buildings within public housing developments to legislative districts based on their addresses.
