  • Annual Report 2013 BRONX RIVER by the NUMBERS
    Annual Report 2013 BRONX RIVER BY THE NUMBERS Anyone who has observed the Bronx River over the years knows that dramatic change is underway. But what do the numbers tell us? Here’s a numerical snapshot of our progress since our founding in 2001. • New waterfront parkland created = 18 acres • New waterfront trails created = 3.5 miles • Amount raised for Bronx River Greenway and restoration = $163 million • Number of people who have paddled the river = 14,500 people (plus thousands more with partner organizations!) • Number of new boat launches on a river where none previously existed = 7 • Number of teachers trained to use the Bronx River as an outdoor classroom = 2,300 • Numbers of students who have touched and been touched by the river = 9,500 • Number of trees planted = 95,000 • Number of beavers living in the river = 2 • Number of volunteer hours dedicated to restoring and enjoying the river = 100,000 • Number of awards for our work, our parks, and our beaver = 30+ These numbers are a powerful reminder that our river, once a neglected eyesore, is now a source of community pride, where people come to canoe, bike, picnic and learn. The greenway trail system is coming together with 20 miles along the full river currently open for use. The river is getting cleaner and more beautiful year by year, the Alliance is growing stronger and deeper as an organization, and above all, the communities along the river are making it more and more their own. Join us and discover what these facts and figures mean for our river, our communities, and our city.

  • Analysis and Findings
    The 2005 Transit Strike : Transportation Impacts and Analysis Analysis and Findings During the course of the Transit Strike, the Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) implemented a comprehensive data collection and monitoring program. NYCDOT synthesized this data to understand the regional travel patterns by various modes of travel during the course of the strike. These findings are summarized in the following section. This program focused on providing the following components: • Traffic Patterns in the Manhattan Central Business District (CBD) • Vehicle entries and exits into and out of the CBD • Vehicle volumes on key arterials and limited access highways • Vehicle occupancy and classification • Vehicle Travel Times and Speeds • Traffic Patterns in the Boroughs • Vehicle volumes on limited access roadways • Vehicle speeds • Pedestrian and Bicycle Travel Trends • Functioning Transit Service • Waterborne Transportation • Private Bus Lines • Commuter Rail/PATH Service • Taxicab Usage 34 © 2006 Adam Fields, http://www.adamfields.com All Rights Reserved The 2005 Transit Strike : Transportation Impacts and Analysis Traffic Patterns in the Manhattan Central Business District (CBD) One of the primary goals of the 2005 Strike Contingency Plan was to limit vehicle entries into Manhattan and maximize vehicle occupancy. The Manhattan Central Business District (CBD) represents one of the primary trip generators in the city with the high rate of employment, land use density and number of trips into and out of the area. The Department frequently tracks traffic patterns in the CBD, so there was a good foundation for existing or before numbers. Vehicle Entries into the Manhattan CBD The implementation and enforcement of the HOV-4 restriction during the 5-11 AM period had a dramatic effect on controlling vehicle entries into the Manhattan CBD.

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2015-2016 Making Connections in Early 2017, I Was Honored to Follow Linda R
    ANNUAL REPORT 2015-2016 Making Connections In early 2017, I was honored to follow Linda R. Cox in the role of Executive Director of the Bronx River Alliance. Ever since I began at the Alliance in 2005, I’ve loved the myriad connections we make in our work: connections for communities to come to the river, connections for wildlife to access the healthy habitats they need to survive, conections for our youth to make between the science they learn in textbooks and the real-life issues confronting a river in their own backyard. I’m pleased to share a number of connections we’ve made along the river in 2015 and 2016. Over this period, we secured essential funding for a link in the Bronx River Greenway that will connect Starlight and Concrete Plant parks and provide more neighborhoods with direct access to the river. In 2016 we celebrated the groundbreaking for the project, with the many partners who helped us build momentum and raise the funds for this important project. We also worked closely with NYC Parks and community partners to install new connections for migratory fish to access the river’s freshwater stretches, which are essential for their life cycles. In 2015 we opened a fish passage at the lowermost dam on the river (at East 182nd St in River Park) to allow Alewife herring to migrate upstream to spawn, as well as a separate passage for American eel. We are happy to say that monitoring confirms that both passages are working as we had hoped! Through our Trees in the Classroom project, developed in 2015, we enable educators to bring young trees right into their classrooms for students to steward and monitor their growth.

  • Community Health Needs Assessment
    2016 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Community Health Needs Assessment, 2016 Update Purpose of the Community Health Needs Assessment This 2016 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) updates the CHNA completed in 2013 to meet the requirements of Section 9007 of the 2010 federal law, The Affordable Care Act (“ACA”). The ACA requires that any tax-exempt, IRS- designated 501(c) (3) hospital complete or update a publicly-available, comprehensive CHNA every three years in order to document the extent to which it understands the unique characteristics and needs of the local communities it serves, and responds to these needs by delivering meaningful and effective community benefit through clinical services and other programming. Required Components A CHNA report has five required components: 1) Definition of community served 2) A prioritized description of the significant health needs of the community 3) Transparency in the process and methods used to conduct the CHNA, including how it took into account input from the community served and prioritized community health needs 4) A description of the resources potentially available to address the identified significant prioritized community health needs 5) An evaluation of the impact of actions taken to address the significant health needs identified in the previous CHNA report (June 2013). A CHNA report is considered complete when it is adopted by a governing body of the facility and made widely available to the public. Community Served NYC Health + Hospitals serve all New Yorkers in every neighborhood in New York City regardless of their ability to pay. Addressing disparity throughout New York City, NYC Health + Hospitals is the safety-net for the uninsured and underserved in New York City.
