  • Chapter 3.6: HISTORIC RESOURCES
    Lower Concourse Rezoning and Related Actions EIS New York City Department of City Planning 3.6 HISTORIC RESOURCES INTRODUCTION The proposed action would not result in significant adverse impacts to archaeological resources; however, it has the potential to result in unmitigated significant adverse impacts to one potentially eligible National Register resource, the North Side Board of Trade, due to potential conversion of the existing structure. Any significant adverse impacts from such a conversion would be unmitigated other than through limited protection under DOB regulations applicable to all buildings located adjacent to construction sites, since this resource is not a designated New York City landmark and has not been calendared for designation. Mitigation could include calendaring the North Side Board of Trade Building for consideration as a New York City Landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission; if this resource was deemed to be landmark eligible, then further protection for redevelopment of this site would be afforded. This chapter assesses the potential effect of the proposed action on historic architectural and archaeological resources. The CEQR Technical Manual identifies historic resources as districts, buildings, structures, sites, and objects of historical, aesthetic, cultural, and archaeological importance. This includes designated NYC Landmarks; properties calendared for consideration as landmarks by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC); properties listed on the State/National Registers of Historic Places (S/NR) or contained within a district listed on or formally determined to be eligible for S/NR listing; properties recommended by the New York State Board for listing on the S/NR; National Historic Landmarks; and properties not identified by one of the programs listed above, but that meet their eligibility requirements.

  • Bronx Bodega Partners Workgroup Don't Stress, Eat Fresh Marketing Campaign 1 the Don't Stress, Eat Fresh Bronx Bodegas Marke
    Bronx Bodega Partners Workgroup Don’t Stress, Eat Fresh Marketing Campaign The Don’t Stress, Eat Fresh Bronx bodegas marketing campaign, created by the Bronx Bodega Partners Workgroup (BBW), was officially launched November 15, 2017 to encourage Bronx residents to purchase healthier foods and beverages at bodegas in the Bronx. With Bronx bodegas selling healthier options -- fresh fruits and vegetables, healthy sandwiches, low-fat dairy products, water and low sodium products -- thousands of Bronx residents now have greater access to healthy foods in their neighborhood bodegas, an important means of improving their health. Begun in 2016, the workgroup includes: the Institute for Family Health's Bronx Health REACH Coalition, Montefiore's Office of Community & Population Health, BronxWorks, Bronx Community Health Network, the Bodega Association of the United States, the Hispanic Information and Telecommunications Network, Inc., the American Dairy Association North East, WellCare Health Plans Inc, Urban Health Plan, City Harvest, the NYC Department of Health – Bronx Neighborhood Health Action Center, and BronxCare Health System. The Bronx Bodega Partners Workgroup together works with 53 stores. The marketing campaign was created by MESH Design and Development, a small design firm selected by the workgroup. The campaign design was informed by community focus groups that included youth from the Mary Mitchell Family and Youth Center and from the South Bronx Overall Economic Development Corporation both youths and adults. Participants provided ideas for content, color, and images. The campaign ran from October 2018 through January 2019 with signage in English and Spanish. The bodegas received posters, shelf signs and door clings. Posters were also distributed to neighboring businesses located near the bodegas.

  • STUDYING the GRAND CONCOURSE to DISCOVER ONE's COMMUNITY Elyse Zucker William Casari
    FROM THE CLASSROOM TO THE CONCOURSE: STUDYING THE GRAND CONCOURSE TO DISCOVER ONE’S COMMUNITY Elyse Zucker William Casari “I Hear America singing, the varied carols I hear, Those of mechanics—each one singing his, as it should be, blithe and strong, The carpenter singing his, as he measures his plank on beam, The mason singing his, as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work….” from Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass Walt Whitman’s poem, “I Hear America Singing” inspired the 13 murals painted on the walls of the Grand Concourse U.S. post office located across the street from Hostos Community College. Visited last fall by Professor Zucker’s Read- ing class (English 92) these looming murals helped students more fully appreciate how art enhances the Grand Concourse and, by extension, education illuminates everyday life. The 1860 poem itself celebrates America and its diversity, which 150 year later, still holds relevance for students. The curriculum implemented in this class—one centered on both teaching and exploring the Grand Concourse—grew out of conversations held between the respective authors of this article: an Assistant Professor of English and an Archivist /Instruction Librarian. It took these English Reading students from vicarious to experiential learning (the former achieved by studying materials and the latter from observing the places studied): an orientation that enabled each of these types of learning to enhance the other. This approach can be seen as a paradigm of what can loosely be labeled a classroom without walls, and as such can be implemented as a pedagogical tool for a variety of disciplines.
