    Strategic Policy Statement 2014 Melinda Katz

    THE OFFICE OF THE QUEENS BOROUGH PRESIDENT Strategic Policy Statement 2014 Melinda Katz Queens Borough President The Borough of Queens is home to more than 2.3 million residents, representing more than 120 countries and speaking more than 135 languages1. The seamless knit that ties these distinct cultures and transforms them into shared communities is what defines the character of Queens. The Borough’s diverse population continues to steadily grow. Foreign-born residents now represent 48% of the Borough’s population2. Traditional immigrant gateways like Sunnyside, Woodside, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Corona, and Flushing are now communities with the highest foreign-born population in the entire city3. Immigrant and Intercultural Services The immigrant population remains largely underserved. This is primarily due to linguistic and cultural barriers. Residents with limited English proficiency now represent 28% of the Borough4, indicating a need for a wide range of social service support and language access to City services. All services should be available in multiple languages, and outreach should be improved so that culturally sensitive programming can be made available. The Borough President is actively working with the Queens General Assembly, a working group organized by the Office of the Queens Borough President, to address many of these issues. Cultural Queens is amidst a cultural transformation. The Borough is home to some of the most iconic buildings and structures in the world, including the globally recognized Unisphere and New York State Pavilion. Areas like Astoria and Long Island City are establishing themselves as major cultural hubs. In early 2014, the New York City Council designated the area surrounding Kaufman Astoria Studios as the city’s first arts district through a City Council Proclamation The areas unique mix of adaptively reused residential, commercial, and manufacturing buildings serve as a catalyst for growth in culture and the arts.

Worldwide Bicycle-Pedestrian Bridges B. Bicycling Growth in New York City C. Level of Service on East River Bridges D. Our Team 2 1. Introduction At the start of the Covid-19 crisis a group of transportation engineers began working together, on a pro bono basis, to develop a transportation system that would provide an almost risk-free method of travel to Manhattan’s Central Business District (CBD – Manhattan south of Central Park). The impetus for this grouping was the realization that the city may face similar epidemics, a severe flu season, or other man-made or natural disasters in the future. Experience told the group that the two forms of transportation that are most risk-free from both infections and crashes are walking and bicycling. These “active transportation” options are also healthy modes that burn calories, and build muscle, bone, heart, and lung strength while improving mental and emotional health. From this discussion, the idea of a bicycle-pedestrian bridge was born. Importantly, these facilities would be equitable. Costs to use them would be a pair of shoes or a bicycle. The group included teams from the Institute of Design & Each bridge could handle Construction (IDC) Innovation Hub of the NYU Tandon School approximately 20,000 people of Engineering, T.Y.
