  • A Retrospective of Preservation Practice and the New York City Subway System
    Under the Big Apple: a Retrospective of Preservation Practice and the New York City Subway System by Emma Marie Waterloo This thesis/dissertation document has been electronically approved by the following individuals: Tomlan,Michael Andrew (Chairperson) Chusid,Jeffrey M. (Minor Member) UNDER THE BIG APPLE: A RETROSPECTIVE OF PRESERVATION PRACTICE AND THE NEW YORK CITY SUBWAY SYSTEM A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Emma Marie Waterloo August 2010 © 2010 Emma Marie Waterloo ABSTRACT The New York City Subway system is one of the most iconic, most extensive, and most influential train networks in America. In operation for over 100 years, this engineering marvel dictated development patterns in upper Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. The interior station designs of the different lines chronicle the changing architectural fashion of the aboveground world from the turn of the century through the 1940s. Many prominent architects have designed the stations over the years, including the earliest stations by Heins and LaFarge. However, the conversation about preservation surrounding the historic resource has only begun in earnest in the past twenty years. It is the system’s very heritage that creates its preservation controversies. After World War II, the rapid transit system suffered from several decades of neglect and deferred maintenance as ridership fell and violent crime rose. At the height of the subway’s degradation in 1979, the decision to celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the opening of the subway with a local landmark designation was unusual.

  • The New York City Subway
    John Stern, a consultant on the faculty of the not-for-profit Aesthetic Realism Foundation in New York City, and a graduate of Columbia University, has had a lifelong interest in architecture, history, geology, cities, and transportation. He was a senior planner for the Tri-State Regional Planning Commission in New York, and is an Honorary Director of the Shore Line Trolley Museum in Connecticut. His extensive photographs of streetcar systems in dozens of American and Canadian cities during the late 1940s, '50s, and '60s comprise a major portion of the Sprague Library's collection. Mr. Stern resides in New York City with his wife, Faith, who is also a consultant of Aesthetic Realism, the education founded by the American poet and critic Eli Siegel (1902-1978). His public talks include seminars on Fiorello LaGuardia and Robert Moses, and "The Brooklyn Bridge: A Study in Greatness," written with consultant and art historian Carrie Wilson, which was presented at the bridge's 120th anniversary celebration in 2003, and the 125th anniversary in 2008. The paper printed here was given at the Aesthetic Realism Foundation, 141 Greene Street in NYC on October 23rd and at the Queens Public Library in Flushing in 2006. The New York Subway: A Century By John Stern THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1904 was a gala day in the City of New York. Six hundred guests assembled inside flag-bedecked City Hall listened to speeches extolling the brand-new subway, New York's first. After the last speech, Mayor George B. McClellan spoke, saying, "Now I, as Mayor, in the name of the people, declare the subway open."1 He and other dignitaries proceeded down into City Hall station for the inau- gural ride up the East Side to Grand Central Terminal, then across 42nd Street to Times Square, and up Broadway to West 145th Street: 9 miles in all (shown by the red lines on the map).

  • UK Employment Arrangements
    4 April 2014 UK Employment Arrangements UK Revises Proposed Tax Measures Against Dual Contracts SUMMARY The UK government has published this year’s Finance Bill, which contains revised draft legislation to “end the abuse of dual contracts”. Dual contracts have in particular been used by employees resident, but not domiciled, in the United Kingdom to benefit from the UK’s remittance basis of taxation for their income from overseas duties, while also working in the UK for a related employer. Under the proposals, where: the employee holds separate employments inside and outside the UK; the employers are the same or “associated” with each other; the UK employment and the relevant employment are “related”; and the credit that the UK would allow for foreign tax on the income is less than 65% of the UK’s top rate of tax for employment income (currently 45%), the employee will be taxed as the income arises, not when it is remitted to the UK. Following consultation, the government has narrowed the proposals: the rules will not catch employments held separately for regulatory reasons; they will not catch employees simply because they are directors unless they are also significant shareholders; the threshold in the comparative tax rate test has been reduced slightly, from 75% to 65% of the top rate of income tax; and the PAYE rules will not apply to income caught by the new measure: employees will account for tax on it through the self-assessment tax return process. The new rules would apply from 6 April 2014 onwards. New York Washington, D.C.

  • Re)New Your City, New York City: Transporting Transformation Hubs
    (Re)New Your City, New York City: Transporting Transformation Hubs A Senior Honors Thesis submitted by Rayn Riel In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts In Interdisciplinary Studies (International Urban Development) Tufts University August 2015 Advisor: Professor Weiping Wu, Department of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning Reader: Professor Daniel Abramson, Department of Art and Art History i| (RE)New Your City, New York City ABSTRACT: New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) is constantly running trains, but it is also constantly running a deficit. Unlike profitable transportation companies, such as the Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway (MTR), the MTA has few valuable real estate assets which could be adequately transformed into transit-oriented and transit-owned joint development hubs. Similar to other U.S. public transportation agencies, space for pragmatic and profitable commercial activities – including shops and offices operating on agency-owned land – is limited to a few select stations, yards, concourses, and passageways, because most profitable assets from private predecessors were sold decades ago. However, while the MTA’s ability to remain revenue-positive or self-sufficient through real estate development is stymied, the MTA has been capitalizing upon its few existing assets for additional revenue. This process, however, in coordination with the City of New York in order to develop value capture mechanisms, is lengthy and cumbersome. The MTA has not developed the resources needed to develop property. This Senior Honors Thesis elucidates how the MTA can overcome organizational barriers in order to contextually ‘transport’ the MTA’s limited portfolio of assets into ‘transformation hubs’, and in order to do so, advocate for a privatized, profitable, and independent real estate development division of the MTA, chartered for real estate development.

  • Use of Dual Contracts by Foreign Doms
    USE OF DUAL CONTRACTS BY FOREIGN DOMICILIARIES Overview BRIEFING UK resident foreign domiciliaries (“RFD’s”) are entitled, subject to payment of the Remittance Basis charge where applicable, to claim the Remittance Basis, whereby most categories of foreign income and gains are subject to UK tax only to the extent that these are remitted (or deemed remitted) to the UK. The Remittance Basis can apply to foreign employment income, but for this purpose the general definition of what constitutes foreign earnings is tightly drawn making it difficult to qualify. There are special provisions, referred to collectively as “Overseas Workday Relief” (OWR) for short-term UK residents (broadly those newly arrived in the September 2014 UK during their first three tax years of residence), which mitigate the restrictions of the general rule. OWR allows a straightforward apportionment of employment income between UK and non-UK duties with the Remittance Basis being applicable to foreign earnings. When OWR is no longer available, the Remittance Basis can only apply to CONTENTS employment income where: (i) the employment is with an overseas employer; and (ii) the employment duties are wholly performed outside of the UK (with the exception 1. Two sets of provisions relating to the Remittance Basis and only of those duties considered as purely “incidental” – which is a term that is overseas earnings interpreted narrowly).
