The number of parking permits was slashed by 46 percent, to 78,000 permits. By handing out fewer parking passes each year, the City is encouraging more civil servants to ride public transit, easing traffic congestion while freeing up parking spots for others. Despite the reduction in city-issued parking permits, the system remains broken. Each step in the process—from creation of the permits, to distribution and enforcement—is fatally flawed, creating a system wrought with abuse and lacking effective oversight. In the present study, researchers at Transportation Alternatives canvassed five New York City neighborhoods and found that a majority of permit holders—57 percent—were either agency permits used to park illegally—double-parking or ditching their cars on sidewalks and bus lanes, or totally bogus permits. The study found that 24 percent of permits on display were illicitly photocopied, fraudulent or otherwise invalid. Clearly, further reform is needed. Modernizing New York City’s two-tiered parking system can help local businesses by freeing up space for customers and deliveries.

    DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Development of Jamaica1 Jamaica, one of the oldest settlements within the boundaries of New York City, developed into the leading commercial and entertainment center of Queens County. The southern part of the area was inhabited by a Native American tribe called Jameco (or Jemaco) when the first Europeans arrived there in 1655. In 1656, Robert Jackson applied to Governor Stuyvesant for a patent and “purchased” ten acres of land from the native tribe2 and called the settlement Rusdorp. Following the transfer of power from the Dutch to the English in 1664, Rusdorp was renamed Jamaica, after the original Indian inhabitants of the region. Queens County (incorporating present-day Queens and Nassau Counties) was chartered in 1683. The English established Jamaica as the governmental center of Queens County, with a court, county clerk’s office, and parish church (Grace Episcopal Church; the present structure is a designated New York City Landmark). Outside the town center, Jamaica was largely an area of farm fields and grazing land for cattle. A 1698 Census of Queens County showed a total population of 3,355 whites and 199 blacks. Although early records indicate the existence of slaves in Jamaica, throughout its history Jamaica also had a free black population. One of its most well-known African-American residents was Wilson Rantus who was born in Jamaica in 1807. Well-educated, he started a school for black children and became involved in the effort, along with African-Americans Samuel V. Berry of Jamaica and Henry Amberman of Flushing to achieve the right to vote for African-Americans.3 New York State incorporated Jamaica as a village in 1814.

  • JAMAICA HIGH SCHOOL (NOW JAMAICA LEARNING CENTER), 162-02 Hillside Avenue (Aka 88-20 163Rd Street), Borough of Queens
    Landmarks Preservation Commission June 25, 2013, Designation List 465 LP-2538 JAMAICA HIGH SCHOOL (NOW JAMAICA LEARNING CENTER), 162-02 Hillside Avenue (aka 88-20 163rd Street), Borough of Queens. Built: 1895-6; architect: William B. Tubby Landmark Site: Borough of Queens Tax Map Block 9768, lot 22 On May 14, 2013, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a landmark of the Jamaica High School (now Jamaica Learning Center) and the proposed designation of its Landmark Site (Item No. 3). The hearing was duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. There was one speaker in favor of designation, a representative of the Historic Districts Council, and there were letters in favor of designation from Council Member James Gennaro and a representative of the Queens Preservation Council. There were no speakers opposed to designation. Summary The Dutch Revival style Jamaica High School was built in 1895-96, originally as a combined grammar and high school and named P.S. 47. The school was constructed for the growing Town of Jamaica in Queens County before Consolidation of the City of New York, but at a time when the idea of joining the different New York counties together was being considered. The building replaced a much smaller, simpler school building located close to the center of the town, and was constructed in a rapidly developing area. Its large scale and more elaborate style expressed the town’s optimism about its future development. By 1909 this building had become so crowded that the grammar school department was moved elsewhere and this structure, renamed Jamaica High School, was devoted to high school education.

  • Commentary Surveillance, Violence, and the Marginalization of Students
    Perspectives on Urban Education 13(1): 56–59, Spring 2016 www.urbanedjournal.org Commentary Surveillance, Violence, and the Marginalization of Students of Color Stephanie Schroeder University of Florida Keywords: surveillance, race, school violence With numbers of school shootings on the rise across the United States and the preponderance of mass shootings off of school grounds, some school districts and politicians are responding with proposals for beefed up security and surveillance measures. While these proposals may sound appealing in the immediate wake of disaster, policy-makers and public school personnel must be aware of the disproportionately negative impact surveillance measures in schools have on students of color. School surveillance, heavily advocated in a post-Columbine world by a largely White and middle-class population, serves to simultaneously protect and marginalize (Lewis, 2006). Indeed, scholars such as Lewis (2006), Davis (2003), and Brown (2003) have argued that surveillance privileges and discriminates along racial and class lines. This commentary explores that tenuous dynamic, specifically focusing on the differential impact of school surveillance policies on minority students at Jamaica High School in Jamaica, Queens, New York, where I taught 9th grade English during the 2012-2013 school year. I argue that the school’s multiple layers of surveillance physically marginalized student bodies upon entrance into school every day, and I question how students perceived surveillance, especially as teacher bodies were not subjected to similar surveillance measures. I end with an uncomfortable observation that rather than protect students from danger, the presumed intent of surveillance features, one impact of surveillance at Jamaica was to make minority student bodies potentially more vulnerable to the threat of violence, an unacceptable but all too common consequence for people of color in a reactive and fear-driven political environment.
