Design + Construction Excellence
> July 2007 Progress Report THE CITY OF NEW YORK DESIGN + CONSTRUCTION EXCELLENCE > July 2007 Progress Report THE CITY OF NEW YORK DESIGN + CONSTRUCTION EXCELLENCE INTRODUCTION Design + Construction Excellence project locations DESIGN + CONSTRUCTION EXCELLENCE JULY 2007 PROGRESS REPORT July 2007 Dear Friends: From the grand entrances of our public libraries to the great INTRODUCTION green expanse of our parkland and open spaces, no city is more defined by its urban design than New York. Three years ago, the Art Commission called for a multi-agency effort to change the paradigm of the public building process, and build the landmarks of tomorrow. Today, I am pleased to report that, under the leadership of the Department of Design and Construction, the Design + Construction Excellence (D+CE) initiative has seen its most successful year yet. Since our last report, the initiative has continued to elevate design and construction standards and helped to produce thoughtful, creative projects in every borough. The new Office of Emergency Management headquarters in Brooklyn and the Queens Botanical Garden have achieved top level Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification and stand as vivid examples of what we can accomplish with bold thinking, and a commitment to meeting the biggest challenges of our time. Adopting the spirit of PlaNYC—our vision for a greener, greater New York—the D+CE will continue to ensure that our metropolis remains habitable and hospitable as it continues to grow and evolve. Thank you to everyone involved in the initiative for the support and contributions that remain critical to our success. You continue to help us build a better future for all New Yorkers—the future we all deserve.

Making the Most of Our Parks
Making the Most of Our Parks RECREATION EXERCISE RESPITE PLAY ENSURING GREENER, SAFER, CLEANER PARKS, TOGETHER A SUMMARY OF A REPORT BY THE CITIZENS BUDGET COMMISSION AT THE REQUEST OF NEW YORKERS FOR PARKS NEW YORK’S NONPARTISAN VOICE SEPTEMBER 2007 FOR EFFECTIVE GOVERNMENT MAKING THE MOST OF OUR PARKS the challenge to new yorkers Parks play important roles in city life. They are a source of respite from the bustle of the urban environment, a place for active recreation and exercise for adults, and a safe place for children to play outdoors. In addition, parks preserve sensitive environmen- tal areas, and, by making neighborhoods more attractive, enhance property values and the tax base of the city. Given the benefits of urban parks, it should be reassuring to New Yorkers that more than 37,000 acres, or nearly one-fifth the city’s total land area, is parkland. This pro- portion is larger than in most big cities in the United States, suggesting that New Yorkers are well endowed with parks. But New Yorkers face a distinct challenge in enjoying their parks. Their parks must accommodate an unparalleled volume of people. New York has about 217 residents for each acre of parkland, one of the highest ratios in the nation, compared to a national average among large cities of about 55 residents per acre. When the extraordinarily large number of commuters and tourists is added to New York’s resident population, the potential demand on local parks likely is greater than in any other American city. New Yorkers must be especially innovative in order to make the most of their parks.

MEMORANDUM DATE: November 25, 2014 TO: Croton Facility Monitoring Committee FROM: New York City Independent Budget Office SUBJECT: Update on the Costs of the Croton Filtration Plant and Associated Projects At the request of the Croton Facility Monitoring Committee (CFMC), the Independent Budget Office has prepared an update on the costs associated with building the Croton Water Filtration Plant located under the Mosholu Golf Course in Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx. IBO’s analysis of the city’s capital spending data indicates that the capital costs related to the Croton Water Filtration Plant are now projected to total $3.7 billion. Of that amount, $3.5 billion has already been committed and $157.4 million in additional commitments are planned through fiscal year 2020. Included in this sum are expenses for the construction of the plant, the rehabilitation of the New Croton Aqueduct (NCA), and spending on related mitigation and amenity projects. This memo provides a summary of the project’s current budget and highlights the notable changes that have occurred since IBO’s last update on these costs, which we presented to the CFMC in November 2011. We have also included three detailed appendices. The first appendix presents a summary of the project’s capital costs, along with contract details for the construction of the plant and rehabilitation of the aqueduct. The second appendix provides cost information for each of the related mitigation and amenity projects. (In 2004 the city and state signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that outlined the mitigation activities the city was obligated to undertake to compensate the Bronx for the loss of parkland due to the construction of the water filtration plant.) The third appendix provides a comparison between the current set of mitigation projects and costs, and those outlined in the 2004 MOU.

City of New York Parks & Recreation
City of New York Parks & Recreation 2008/2009/2010 Report Welcome. Dear Friends: Parks are New Yorkers’ backyards. It is an open secret that New York City is home to 29,000 acres of City-owned parks and open space, where you can pursue your outdoor dreams, from tending your own vegetable garden to playing cricket, hosting family barbeques and hiking scenic nature trails, all without leaving the five boroughs. With the city’s population of 8.4 million forecasted to climb to over 9 million by the year 2030, the City has a responsibility to preserve, protect, and enhance parks and open space. In response to emerging public health and recreational needs, we are revitalizing abandoned, industrial waterfronts with kayak launches, waterfront esplanades, and verdant lawns. We are bridging the past with the present through arts, culture, and educational programming in historic parks. We are expanding our urban forest 20 percent by planting one million trees in streets, parks, and natural areas. Through adaptive re-use, we are cleaning and transforming former brownfields into community parks laden with amenities. As we design, build, and maintain parks, we are forging a path to create a healthy, livable, and sustainable city. Each year, our City’s parks captivate the hearts of millions of New Yorkers and visitors from across the world. Park patrons are volunteering in increasing numbers to help serve their parks, from pruning street trees to reporting park conditions to organizing public programming. We invite you to read this report to discover new opportunities in parks and hope that you will join us on our mission to bring our parks system to new heights in the 21st century.
