  • Site Selection Guide
    2020 SITE SELECTION GUIDE: ELIGIBLE TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE FOR PUBLIC ART I am Here by Harumi Ori I am Here by Pedestrian Patterns by Mark Salinas Mark by Patterns Pedestrian INTRODUCTION The New York City Department of Transportation’s Art Program (DOT Art) partners with community-based, nonprofit organizations and professional artists to present temporary public artwork on DOT infrastructure throughout the five boroughs. Asphalt, bridges, fences, jersey barriers, medians, plazas, sidewalks, step streets, streetlight poles and triangles serve as canvases and foundations for temporary murals, projections, sculptures and interventions. This guide defines transportation infrastructure eligible for public art installations. Infrastructure is categorized into distinct classifications known as site types. Each definition includes the following supplemental information: ▪ typical elements found at a site; ▪ site requirements and recommendations; and ▪ potential artwork installations associated with each site type. Organizations and artists are invited to select DOT-owned infrastructure within their communities as potential sites for temporary art. Appropriate sites for art are evaluated based on the following criteria: SIZE + SAFETY The site is large enough to accommodate artwork, and the addition of artwork will not impede pedestrian circulation or introduce any public safety hazards. VISIBILITY + ACCESSIBILITY The site is accessible to a diverse audience, in close proximity to public transportation, and adjacent to a mixed used corridor. SITE ENHANCEMENT + SIGNIFICANCE The site is in need of beautification and is historically or geographically relevant to the community. As new priority initiatives arise at the agency as well as policies on a regional and national level, DOT Art may introduce new site typologies eligible for public art.

  • A Piece of History
    A Piece of History Theirs is one of the most distinctive and recognizable sounds in the music industry. The four-part harmonies and upbeat songs of The Oak Ridge Boys have spawned dozens of Country hits and a Number One Pop smash, earned them Grammy, Dove, CMA, and ACM awards and garnered a host of other industry and fan accolades. Every time they step before an audience, the Oaks bring four decades of charted singles, and 50 years of tradition, to a stage show widely acknowledged as among the most exciting anywhere. And each remains as enthusiastic about the process as they have ever been. “When I go on stage, I get the same feeling I had the first time I sang with The Oak Ridge Boys,” says lead singer Duane Allen. “This is the only job I've ever wanted to have.” “Like everyone else in the group,” adds bass singer extraordinaire, Richard Sterban, “I was a fan of the Oaks before I became a member. I’m still a fan of the group today. Being in The Oak Ridge Boys is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.” The two, along with tenor Joe Bonsall and baritone William Lee Golden, comprise one of Country's truly legendary acts. Their string of hits includes the Country-Pop chart-topper Elvira, as well as Bobbie Sue, Dream On, Thank God For Kids, American Made, I Guess It Never Hurts To Hurt Sometimes, Fancy Free, Gonna Take A Lot Of River and many others. In 2009, they covered a White Stripes song, receiving accolades from Rock reviewers.

  • Stakeholders Committee Revised General Plan Policy Carryover Subcommittee (Pcs)
    STAKEHOLDERS COMMITTEE REVISED GENERAL PLAN POLICY CARRYOVER SUBCOMMITTEE (PCS) Task Purpose The Stakeholders Committee has designated a subcommittee, the Revised General Plan Policy Carryover Subcommittee (PCS), to identify current policies of the Revised General Plan that should be carried forward for inclusion in the New Comprehensive Plan. Obviously, a review of existing policies may prompt ideas of new policies or a revision of current policies; however, the formulation of new and/or revised policies is a separate task to be completed later in the planning process. Task Products A report from the PCS regarding the concurrence of STAC recommendations and any PCS recommendations of carryover policies is the end-product with this part of the task. The report will be a finalized tracking matrix showing the PCS’s recommendation on all policies and a memorandum summarizing the subcommittee’s recommendation. Task Background The current policies are compiled into spreadsheets and categorized by the proposed chapters of the new Comprehensive Plan (Shape, Connect, Compete, Sustain, and Support) as tabs in each worksheet. Only the chapters that had policies corresponding to the topic area (same as the file name) were included in the spreadsheet. The members of the Staff Technical Advisory Committee (STAC) reviewed the policies and provided a recommendation and, if necessary for further clarification, a corresponding comment for the recommendation. Per the consultants’ recommendation to better organize our numerous existing policies, staff has categorized each identified policy as a policy, action, or guideline based on the following understanding of the terms: Policy – A recommended course of action or position on a topic to guide future decisions and/or actions.

S. Simon, chair, called the meeting to order at 7:12 p.m. and introduced the committee members who were present. 1. Presentation by NYC Economic Development Corp. on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Inwood Rezoning Plan – Dina Rybak, Vice President – Planning, EDC, continued her presentation from last month covering the following topics: Air Quality: Mobile sources (traffic) and stationary sources (heat and hot water building systems) were studied. Intersections chosen as the three worst – 9th Ave. & W. 207th St., Broadway & 219th St. and Major Deegan Expressway and Fordham Rd. in the Bronx – were screened. Conclusion: Rezoning would have no significant adverse impacts on air quality because of traffic and if new development sites use natural gas to fuel boilers, use low-emissions boilers and place stacks at certain locations and heights to allow dispersion. This would be enforced by the Mayor’s Office of Environmental Remediation. Noise: Mobile sources (traffic) did not reach threshold for significant impacts. Stationary sources – they monitored 20 locations in the neighborhood to establish existing levels.
