  • 23 City Council District Profiles
    QUEENS Glen Oaks, Floral Park, New Hyde Park, CITY Bellerose, Oakland Gardens, Jamaica Estates, COUNCIL 2009 DISTRICT 23 Holliswood, Queens Village Parks are an essential city service. They are the barometers of our city. From Flatbush to Flushing and Morrisania to Midtown, parks are the front and backyards of all New Yorkers. Well-maintained and designed parks offer recreation and solace, improve property values, reduce crime, and contribute to healthy communities. SHOWCASE : Cunningham Park Until 2006 the City did not spe- cifically track crimes occurring on city parkland, and therefore no data was available to tell citizens about the safety of their parks. New Yorkers for Parks worked with the City Council and Mayor to pass legislation mandating the tracking of crime in the 20 largest parks, with the eventual goal of including every park. Cun- ningham Park is one of the initial 20 parks, and in our 2008 report, “Tracking Crime in NYC Parks,” we offer details on crime data Bellaire Playground, Holliswood collected in the park. Visit www. The Bloomberg Administration’s physical barriers or crime. As a result, ny4p.org for more information on park safety.

    Basic Information Regional Economic Development Council (REDC) Region: New York City Municipality Name: New York City Downtown Name: Jamaica County: Queens Downtown Description - Provide an overview of the downtown and summarize the rationale behind nominating this downtown for a Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) award): Downtown Jamaica is on the cusp of a renaissance. It is a vibrant mixed-use community with a central core along three Business Improvement Districts. In reviewing the criteria in the Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) Guidelines, we were delighted to observe that Downtown Jamaica satisfies each of the required elements. As the specifics in the application indicate, Downtown Jamaica is experiencing rapid middle-class population growth and is in the midst of a wave of private and public investments in infrastructure, affordable housing, hospitality, retail and industrial jobs. As one of Queens’ four commercial hubs, there are a number of attractive sites with significant development potential in the Downtown. All of the anchor institutions are aligned with an investment commitment to the Downtown, as are the area BID’s and non-profit institutions. Major job-creating projects and initiatives are underway for a wide range of opportunities, all of which are either in the Downtown core or are easily accessible to it. The Downtown is a multi- modal regional transit hub complemented with public parks and gathering spaces, which are centrally located. In addition, investments in the area’s arts and cultural institutions are increasing and the retail mix now includes several healthy and affordable food alternatives. Finally, policies and initiatives are in place to improve quality of life and livability throughout the downtown.
