    Feb 11, 2018 Inauguration of NYS Senator Brian Patrick Kavanagh Hon Gale A Brewer, Manhattan Borough President Good afternoon. I’m Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, and it’s my honor and pleasure to say a few things about my colleague, confidante, and very close friend, Senator Brian Kavanagh. We go back 18 years now. It was 2001, and I’d gotten started late on my first City Council campaign. There were already six candidates in the race. We had no money. A lot of people had already taken sides, and it seemed like a long shot. Jessica Mates– another close friend and my chief of staff today – and Brian Kavanagh were there with me every day, building the campaign, stuffing 20 story buildings in the summer heat, handing out lit, keeping calm, and out–working out– thinking, and out-strategizing everybody. That, you may remember, was a Mayoral year when another candidate was running, too, a long shot we’d never heard of, a guy named Mike Bloomberg. Well, we both won, and Brian became my first chief of staff. I’d promised to “hit the ground running,” and we did thanks to Brian’s smarts and hard work, gift for organizing a staff, setting clear priorities, and managing everything in that calm, confident, steady way that is his trademark. 1 He even headed up the Fresh Democracy Project, which was a grouping of the large class of incoming Council Members in January 2002. We produced policy ideas for the new Council, but the “we” was really Brian. And he surprised us, too, with special gifts.

Whereas cobblestone (or Belgian Block) streets are difficult and often unsafe for cyclists to navigate in a city that is promoting bicycle use; and Whereas the uneven cobblestone streets often have large gaps with separating stones and depressions caused by use, maintenance, and weather elements that add to the peril of riding as well as walking on the stones, especially if using high heel shoes; and Whereas cobblestone streets become even more perilous when wet; and Whereas cyclists often ride on sidewalks which is dangerous and illegal to avoid the bumpy and uneven cobblestone surfaces which contributes an additional layer of safety concerns not only for cyclists but pedestrians as well; and Whereas cobblestone streets contribute to the unique, historical character that defines many Community Board 2, Manhattan (CB2) neighborhoods and need to be preserved; and Whereas other historic neighborhoods such as DUMBO have employed granite bike paths to make cycling safe in cobblestone areas without impeding on the historical character of the cobblestone street; and Whereas a successful six ft.

BORELLI District Mana ger April 7, 2005 Councilmember Gale Brewer 250 Broadway, Suite 1744 New York, NY 10007 Re: Street Number Legislation Dear Councilmember Brewer, Manhattan Community Board 4 fully supports your proposed amendments to the administrative code of the City of New York (Intro 515) to require that building street numbers also be prominently displayed on a building’s side where there is a principle pedestrian entrance. We agree that the existing law is wanting. It mandates that street numbers be posted only on the self designated front of a building. Your amendments will address that inadequacy by defining “front” to include the building’s side or sides containing a principle entrance or entrances used for daily pedestrian egress. This is an important safety issue. Posted building numbers on side entrances could greatly assist first responders, such as EMS, fire, and police officers. Repair, service, and delivery personnel, not to mention tourists and City residents, will also profit from a more complete building numeration. We agree also that an increase in fines for non compliance is called for. The new law would raise the first fine to $250 from $25 and raise the fine for each additional day of non compliance to $50 from $5. Given the great potential benefit to the public the amendment could provide, this increase does not seem too onerous a penalty.

ABORTION AND THE LAWS OF WAR: SUBVERTING HUMANITARIANISM BY EXECUTIVE EDICT SUSAN YOSHIHARA' INTRODUCTION Humanitarian principles are under siege everywhere. From the shooting down of the Malaysian airliner in Ukraine, beheading of Western journalists and aid workers in Syria, murder of Christians in Iraq, and abduction of children as soldiers and sex slaves in the Congo-the headlines are filled with the flouting of international humanitarian law. That law is meant to protect non-combatants from the scourge of war. This essay tells the story of one of those disregarded principles: the prohibition against rape. The story is about why renewed efforts to get warring nations to obey the law could be brought down by a parallel movement to get Western nations to redefine it with a right to abortion.

  • Broadway Storefront Vacancy Survey September 2020
    MANHATTAN BOROUGH PRESIDENT GALE A. BREWER BROADWAY STOREFRONT VACANCY SURVEY SEPTEMBER 2020 Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer conducted a survey of vacant storefronts along the entire length of Broadway, from the Battery to Inwood, to highlight the struggle of our businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2017, Borough President Brewer conducted a similar survey, finding 188 street-level vacancies along the 244 blocks of Broadway. On Wednesday, August 28, 2020, Brewer and her staff counted 335 street level vacant storefronts, representing a 78% increase in vacancies. Surveyors also counted 42 storefronts boarded up with plywood, some of which were vacant while others were still operating. This does not include a further 33 business that are still closed until further notice in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Of these vacant storefronts, 82 were above 125th Street, 39 were between 96th and 125th Street, 66 were between 59th and 96th Street, 105 between 14th and 59th Street, and 43 were below 14th Street. Running the full length of Manhattan Broadway passes through a diverse cross-section of the borough’s neighborhoods, small retail strips, and varied commercial districts, midtown corporate towers, sections of large chain stores, the theater and garment districts, areas dominated by two major universities, and the lower Manhattan financial and residential district. While high rates of turnover and vacancy have been a concern for years along Broadway, the alarming 78% increase in vacancies since 2017 reflect a well-documented pattern of relentlessly rising rents and long- term vacancies, as well as the pandemic that since March has forced the closure of thousands of businesses large and small in Manhattan.
