To the Honorable, the Common Council : GENTLEMEN-I have the honor herewith to submit to your Honorable Body my Annual Report concerning the care of the Parks and Parkways of the City of Brooklyn and of the County of Kings, which have been under my charge during the year 1895. There have been more than the usual developments in the way of care and improvement of the parks, and in addition there has been an acquisition of property which doubles the area of park lands existing at the beginning of the year, thus placing the city somewhat on a par with other great cities of the country. Steps have also been taken in the direction of increas- ing the pleasure drives, and the County now owns nearly all the property needed for the creation of the most charming drive in the world-the Hay Ridge Parkway, or, as it is popularly called, the Shore Drive.

It’s easy to stay home, waiting for spring and baseball and New York@Night promising to go out once it gets warm. 4 But now is not the time for complacency. There are countless musicians in our fair city that need your support, especially when lethargy seems so appealing. To Interview: Ron McClure quote our Megaphone this month, written by pianist Steve Colson, music is meant 6 by Donald Elfman to help people “reclaim their intellectual and emotional lives.” And that is not hard to do in a city like New York, which even in the dead of winter, gives jazz Artist Feature: Harris Eisenstadt lovers so many choices. Where else can you stroll into the Village Vanguard 7 by Clifford Allen (Happy 75th Anniversary!) every Monday and hear a band with as much history as the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra (On the Cover). Or see as well-traveled a bassist as On The Cover: Vanguard Jazz Orchestra Ron McClure (Interview) take part in the reunion of the legendary Lookout Farm 9 by George Kanzler quartet at Birdland? How about supporting those young, vibrant artists like Encore: Lest We Forget: drummer Harris Eisenstadt (Artist Feature) whose bands and music keep jazz relevant and exciting? 10 Svend Asmussen Joe Maneri In addition to the above, this month includes a Lest We Forget on the late by Ken Dryden by Clifford Allen saxophonist Joe Maneri, honored this month with a tribute concert at the Irondale Center in Brooklyn.

    Chapter 1: Project Purpose and Need

    Chapter 1: Project Purpose and Need A. INTRODUCTION The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), in cooperation with MTA New York City Transit (NYCT), propose to construct the Second Avenue Subway in Manhattan, to provide much-needed transit access to East Side residents, workers, and visitors and to improve mobility for all New Yorkers. The proposed project analyzed in this Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (SDEIS) is a full-length Second Avenue Subway from Harlem to Lower Manhattan, recommended after careful consideration of a full range of alternatives in the Major Investment Study (MIS) for Manhattan East Side Transit Alternatives Study (MESA) and public and agency response to the MESA MIS and Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) published in 1999. As described in detail in Chapter 2 (“Project Alternatives”), as well as Appendix B (“Development of Alternatives”), the design of the full-length Second Avenue Subway has been further refined since completion of the DEIS, resulting in the project alternative analyzed in this SDEIS. This chapter discusses the need for the proposed Second Avenue Subway. It identifies the project, defines the current and future travel problems on the East Side and in the city, describes the project’s background and current planning context, and presents the project’s goals and objectives. B. IDENTIFICATION OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT The Second Avenue Subway would be a new, two-track, approximately 8.5-mile rail line extending the length of Manhattan’s East Side from 125th Street in East Harlem to Hanover Square in the Financial District. This new subway line would serve communities in East Harlem, the Upper East Side, Midtown, Gramercy Park/Union Square, the Lower East Side, Chinatown, and Lower Manhattan.
