Parks Post May / June 2007 Borough Beat Photo of the Month City of New York Parks & Recreation Manhattan Michael R. Bloomberg, Mayor Adrian Benepe, Commissioner Parks Post May / June 2007 Borough Beat Photo of the Month Welcome to the Parks Post, a bimonthly newsletter with information for you! I’m Adrian Benepe, New York City Commissioner for Parks & Recreation. Your Manhattan Borough Commissioner, Bill Castro, and I are working hard to make your parks cleaner, greener, and more fun! We’ll be keeping you up to date about our progress on the Parks Department’s three main priorities in the coming year: • Kids First • Greening New York • Bringing Community into Parks We want to keep you informed about the latest and greatest in your local parks–from Battery Park all the way up to Inwood Hill Park. See you in the parks! Adrian Benepe Young parkgoers show off their gardening handiwork while volunteering at Jackie Commissioner Robinson Park at last year’s It’s My Park! Day. (Photo by Tony Killeen). Bill Castro It’s My Park! Day happens again on May 19. Manhattan sites include Seward, DeWitt Manhattan Borough Clinton, Highbridge, and Marcus Garvey Parks. For more information, visit Commissioner www.itsmypark.org or call 311. Citywide Spotlight May is Bike Month, and the Parks Department is celebrating by encouraging you to check out your parks on two wheels. On May 16, Parks will officially open the Brooklyn-Queens Greenway, a 40-mile bike trail that runs from Coney Island to Little Bay Park in Queens, with destinations including the Brooklyn Museum of Art and the Queens Botanical Garden. Get your copy of the new guidebook at the ribbon cutting. It’s also available online and at Parks facilities and bicycle shops along the Greenway. Greenways are for everyone: cyclists, joggers, strollers, skaters, people in wheelchairs or who are mobility impaired, dog walkers, bird watchers, kids and adults, families and friends, recreational users and commuters. Over the next four years, Parks will spend more than $200 million to add 40 more miles and enhance the Greenway with comfort stations, boat launches, and environmental restoration projects. Also, on three weekends in May, Parks staff and volunteers will “Teach Your Child to Ride a Bike.” Find dates, locations, registration, and general information about rolling around New York City at www.nyc.gov/parks. www.nyc.gov/parks Calendar Feature of the Month Manhattan’s Arts, Culture & Fun series is now underway around the borough.

  • July 8 Grants Press Release
    CITY PARKS FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES 109 GRANTS THROUGH NYC GREEN RELIEF & RECOVERY FUND AND GREEN / ARTS LIVE NYC GRANT APPLICATION NOW OPEN FOR PARK VOLUNTEER GROUPS Funding Awarded For Maintenance and Stewardship of Parks by Nonprofit Organizations and For Free Live Performances in Parks, Plazas, and Gardens Across NYC July 8, 2021 - NEW YORK, NY - City Parks Foundation announced today the selection of 109 grants through two competitive funding opportunities - the NYC Green Relief & Recovery Fund and GREEN / ARTS LIVE NYC. More than ever before, New Yorkers have come to rely on parks and open spaces, the most fundamentally democratic and accessible of public resources. Parks are critical to our city’s recovery and reopening – offering fresh air, recreation, and creativity - and a crucial part of New York’s equitable economic recovery and environmental resilience. These grant programs will help to support artists in hosting free, public performances and programs in parks, plazas, and gardens across NYC, along with the nonprofit organizations that help maintain many of our city’s open spaces. Both grant programs are administered by City Parks Foundation. The NYC Green Relief & Recovery Fund will award nearly $2M via 64 grants to NYC-based small and medium-sized nonprofit organizations. Grants will help to support basic maintenance and operations within heavily-used parks and open spaces during a busy summer and fall with the city’s reopening. Notable projects supported by this fund include the Harlem Youth Gardener Program founded during summer 2020 through a collaboration between Friends of Morningside Park Inc., Friends of St. Nicholas Park, Marcus Garvey Park Alliance, & Jackie Robinson Park Conservancy to engage neighborhood youth ages 14-19 in paid horticulture along with the Bronx River Alliance’s EELS Youth Internship Program and Volunteer Program to invite thousands of Bronxites to participate in stewardship of the parks lining the river banks.

  • Chapter 4: Social Conditions
    Chapter 4: Social Conditions A. INTRODUCTION AND METHODOLOGY This chapter addresses a variety of issues that support social conditions, including population and housing characteristics, community facilities and open spaces, and neighborhood character. The discussion of social conditions considers the entire MESA study area (depicted in Figure 3-1 in Chapter 3, above) with particular focus on the project corridor—the routes proposed for the various project alternatives—where the greatest potential for change would occur. Because none of the project alternatives have the potential to change social conditions in the secondary study area, where Build Alternatives 1 and 2 would add service along an existing subway line, this analysis is of the primary study area only. The analysis was conducted by first compiling existing data for population and housing, com- munity facilities and open spaces, and neighborhood character. The source for the population and housing data is the 1990 Census of Population and Housing. The inventory of community facilities is based on Community District Needs (1997) for Manhattan’s Community Boards, the Department of Parks and Recreation’s Property Lists (dated November 4, 1996), supplementary information provided by the various Community Boards within the study area, and the informa- tion gathered for the analysis of land use, zoning, and public policy in Chapter 3. The assessment of neighborhood character is based on information gathered for other chapters of this document, particularly including the analyses of land use (Chapter 3) and visual and aesthetic considerations (Chapter 6). After assessing the existing conditions in the study area, the expected changes in the future are considered, based on information compiled in Chapter 3.

  • Community Involvement in Redevelopment After the Expiration of Urban Renewal Plans
    Renewing Renewal: Community Involvement in Redevelopment After the Expiration of Urban Renewal Plans A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Preservation COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Urban Planning by Caroline Thompson May 2020 Abstract Communities impacted by urban renewal in the mid-twentieth century were largely unable to stop the changes brought to their neighborhoods. The plans that operationalized urban renewal remained in place for over 40 years, with significant legislative, legal, and financial effort required to make any alterations. In New York City, many of the urban renewal areas and their governing plans have since expired, ushering in market-driven development and neighborhood changes. This thesis uses a mixed-methods approach to analyze the subsequent built environment changes and to explore community involvement through case studies of redevelopment in the former Seward Park Extension Urban Renewal Area (SPEURA) and Two Bridges Urban Renewal Area (TBURA). While many lots remain unchanged since the urban renewal era, those that have changed reflect local development preferences or the results of major rezonings. The case studies reveal the wide variety of methods of community involvement in site redevelopment, with implications for future participation in redevelopment in the city. Key words: urban renewal, participation, Two Bridges, Essex Crossing, Large-Scale Developments ii Table of Contents List of Figures .......................................................................................................................
