  • 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.

Ai Weiwei could not be here with us for the unveiling of his latest work, Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads. He has been detained by the Chinese government, and the fact that we do not know where he is, or when he will be released, is very disturbing. “Today, we stand in solidarity with the millions of people around the world who are hoping that Ai Weiwei is quickly and safely released.

  • Second Battery Armory and the Proposed Designation of the Related Landmark Site (Item No
    Landmarks Preservation Commission June 2, 1992; Designation List 245 LP-1794 SECOND BATIERY ARMORY, 1122 Franklin Avenue, Borough of The Bronx. Built 1908-11; Charles C. Haight, architect; addition, built c. 1928, Benjamin W. Levitan, architect. Landmark Site: Borough of The Bronx Tax Map Block 2613, Lot 1. [See fig. A]. On July 10, 1990, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Second Battery Armory and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 11). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. One speaker testified in favor of designation. The representative of the owner, Richard M. Litman, Deputy Administrator for Land Use Review, N.Y.C. Human Resources Administration, took no position on the proposed designation at the public hearing, although at the time of designation he said that the agency welcomed the designation and looked forward to working with the Commission. In addition, the Commission received three letters in support of designation, including one from Bronx Borough President Fernando Ferrer.1 Summary The Second Battery Armory, the first permanent armory located in The Bronx, was built in 1908-11 to the design of Charles C. Haight, a former member of the New York State militia and a prominent architect known for his institutional buildings. Prominently situated on a sloping site, the armory is notable for its bold massing, expressive brick forms, picturesque asymmetry, and restrained Gothic vocabulary; the design of the structure retains references to the tradition of medieval imagery in earlier New York armory buildings, but bears a marked relationship to Collegiate Gothic institutions.
