    Draft of Resolution, Provided to CB3 by Applicant CB3 Beastie Boys Square Resolution Whereas the Beastie Boys were established in July 1981 as part of the Lower East Side’s CBGB punk music scene, and frequently played in that venue; Whereas the Beastie Boys’ first album, “Polly Wog Stew,” was recorded at 171A Studios, located at 171 Avenue A in the East Village; Whereas in 1984, the Beastie Boys were the first white and the first Jewish hip hop group signed to Def Jam records, where they played a significant, early role breaking down racial barriers in 1980s music between rock (white audience) and hip hop (black and Latino audience), which in turn led to a greater cultural understanding and historic reduction in the racial divide between the groups according to the book and 2013 VH1 miniseries “The Tanning of America”; Whereas in 1988 the group released the album “Paul’s Boutique,” which brought the corner of Ludlow and Rivington Streets on the Lower East Side international fame by featuring an oversized picture of the corner on the cover of the album; Whereas the cover art from “Paul’s Boutique,” which Rolling Stone magazine named the 156th greatest album of all time in 2009 and the Village Voice named 3rd on its list of the 50 Most New York Albums Ever in 2013, continues to draw fans from around the world to the corner of Ludlow and Rivington Streets; Whereas, the Beastie Boys meet CB3’s street renaming guidelines because they have achieved “exceptional and highly acclaimed accomplishment or involvement linked to Manhattan Community

  • 8.4 Peer Review of Regional Bus Funding Programs
    8 Funding Programs This chapter discusses the federal and state funding programs available for regional bus services, then provides a review of the use of funding by carriers in other states. 8.1 Federal Intercity Bus Operating Assistance—Section 5311(f) The Bus Regulatory Reform Act enacted in 1982 granted intercity bus operators much greater leeway in eliminating or adding service than they had been given under previous regulatory acts, some dating from the 1930s. By 1991, intercity bus service in in many rural, non-urbanized areas had been reduced significantly. In response, the multi-year federal authorization enacted that year, the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA), included a provision in Section 18(i) for financial assistance for maintaining or expanding intercity bus service in non-urbanized areas. Section 18 of ISTEA became Section 5311 in the next authorization, the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), enacted in 1998. The Section 5311 designation has continued through subsequent authorizations, and provides for federal funding for transit services in non-urbanized and rural areas with populations less than 50,000. Funding nationwide is allotted to the states for distribution by state officials to local applicants. The funding allocation by state is based on each state’s non-urbanized population. Section 5311 funds can be used for capital expenditures, as well as operating, planning, or administrative expenses. Eligible recipients of Section 5311 funding include state agencies, local
