Although carbon is only one aspect of a school’s environmental impact, it has become a key area of focus in delivering sustainability in the sector through zero-carbon schools by 2016.

  • Federal Railroad Administration Record of Decision for the East Side Access Project

    Federal Railroad Administration Record of Decision for the East Side Access Project

    Federal Railroad Administration Record of Decision For the East Side Access Project September 2012 SUMMARY OF DECISION This is a Record of Decision (ROD) of the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), an operating administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation, regarding the East Side Access (ESA) Project. FRA has prepared this ROD in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Council on Environmental Quality’s (CEQ) regulations implementing NEPA, and FRA’s Procedures for Considering Environmental Impacts. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) filed an application with the FRA for a loan to finance eligible elements of the ESA Project through the Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing (RRIF) Program. The ESA Project is the MTA’s largest system expansion in over 100 years. The ESA Project will expand the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) services by connecting Queens and Long Island with East Midtown Manhattan. With direct LIRR service to Midtown East, the LIRR will further increase its market share of commuters by saving up to 40 minutes per day in subway/bus/sidewalk travel time for commuters who work on Manhattan’s East Side. The ESA Project was previously considered in an environmental impact statement (EIS) prepared by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) in May 2001 and subsequent FTA reevaluations and an environmental assessment of changes in the ESA Project. Construction of the ESA Project has been ongoing since 2001. FRA has reviewed the environmental impacts for the ESA Project identified in the FTA March 2001 Final EIS, subsequent FTA Reevaluations, and the 2006 Supplemental EA/FONSI (collectively, the “2001 EIS”) for the ESA Project and adopted it pursuant to CEQ regulations (40 CFR 1506.3).

    1 Katrina Navickas What Happened to Class? New Histories of Labour and Collective Action in Britain. Recently, My Family Called

    1 Katrina Navickas What Happened to Class? New Histories of Labour and Collective Action in Britain. Recently, my family called me a „labour historian‟. A „labour historian‟ is one of the last epithets I would give to my thoroughly bourgeois self, so I considered why they made that association. In 2005, I published an article rethinking Luddism, the machine– breaking outbreaks of 1812. It stuck out somewhat incongruously as an old–fashioned topic, although I had reworked it with a postmodernist nod towards the agency of language.1 In the heyday of labour history in the 1960s and 1970s, it was a natural assumption to connect the study of trade unions and the Labour party with labour‟s more troublesome sister, social movements and popular protest. Yet over the past couple of decades, labour history has changed. Many of its historians no longer regard the labour (and Labour) movement as the be–all and end–all of the history of the working class. Their interests have diversified, shedding new light on identities and activities that are not completely subsumed by a narrative of class. Perhaps, indeed, I had mistaken myself for a labour historian of the old sort, even though methodologically and culturally I was far from being so. Although I did not realise it at the time, however, protest history had begun to be rethought and revived in a new direction. This is a review of recent developments in British labour and collective action history. In 2009, I returned to mythical leaders of machine–breakers. This time they were in the form of „Captain Swing‟, that head of the eponymous rural agitation of the early 1830s.

    The Revolt of the Fields in East Anglia 4/- 50 (Alf Peacock)

    I N M E M O R I A who has been Secretary of the History Group of the Communist Party for several years, died on Tuesday, 19th April. Without his lively interest and constant practical help OUR HISTORY would not have appeared, nor would the other activities of the History Group have taken place. He was typical of the best in the British working-class, a lifelong Communist, educated by the Communist Party and by his own wide experiences and self-study. In recent years he had been responsible for many developments in the educational and cultural work of the Party. His vast knowledge of people and his deep humanism, was always at the service of professional and specialist groups. His modesty was an example to all who worked with him; it cloaked but did not conceal from the perceptive a penetrating mind and considerable learning. We shall miss him greatly,: His monument is in the developing influence of Marxist ideas in many varied aspects of our culture. Page One FOREWORD Mr. Peacock's "Bread or Blood" (Gollancz, 1965) did not receive the attention which it deserved. We suspect because its combination of massive documentation in the local press and local records with unwavering sympathy for the cause of the exploited and oppressed made the academic and reviewing establishment uneasy. Mr. Peacock has now turned his attention from the 'agrarian riots in East Anglia in 1816' to 'the agricultural trade unionism of the 1870s' in the same area.

    Executive Summary

    Executive Summary A. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), in cooperation with MTA New York City Transit (NYCT),* are undertaking a Major In- vestment Study (MIS) and Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) to consider options for improving transit access and mobility on Manhattan’s East Side. The alternatives would provide service to an area including Lower Manhattan, the Lower East Side, East Midtown, the Upper East Side, and East Harlem. A secondary area, just west of the primary area south of 59th Street, is also included in the study. After considerable study and evaluation of many options, four alter- natives are addressed in this MIS/DEIS: No Build; Transportation Systems Management (TSM), including dedicated bus lanes on First and Second Avenues; a new East Side subway extension on Second Avenue north of 63rd Street and continuing on the Broadway express tracks down to Lower Manhattan; and the same new subway supplemented by new light rail transit (LRT) serving the Lower East Side and Lower Manhattan. The need for transit improvement on Manhattan’s East Side is clear. In the primary area, only the Lexington Avenue line (4, 5, 6 lines) provides full north-south rapid transit service. South of 64th Street (primarily in East Midtown), several east-west lines (Q, N, R, E, F, 7, Shuttle, and L) cross the area and connect to other north-south services. The N and R trains provide north-south service along Broadway from 57th Street to Lower Manhattan. Several subway lines serve the Lower East Side (F, B, D, Q, J, M and Z), but these do not offer direct north-south service on the East Side, and their stations are at some distance from residents living in the easterly portions of the neighborhood.

    April 18, 2001 Mr. Peter Kalikow Chairman Metropolitan Transportation Authority 347 Madison Avenue New York, NY 10017 Re: F and G Train Re-Routing & New V Train Routing Dear Mr. Kalikow, The Queens Civic Congress, representing 99 civic associations throughout the Borough of Queens, wishes to protest the planned new V train routing and the re-routing of the F and G trains. We would like to document our rationale and offer a suggestion that would meet the rigid premises outlined below. Basic Mass Transportation Premises of the Queens Civic Congress: *A plan to improve service to one community should not result in the diminishment of services to another community. *A new train line should enhance, but not curtail services to existing train lines. *A plan should encourage people to use mass transit and not create obstacles that would instead encourage existing riders to take their cars. G TRAIN: We Recommend MTA Rescind Court Square Termination Plan. We are happy to hear that you are rethinking the original plan to eliminate the current G train route between Court Square and Forest Hills. The G train, which serves northern Brooklyn and central Queens, has seen a 33% increase in ridership in recent years. The plan to terminate the G train at Court Square will add travel time for riders and thus encourage them to abandon the line in favor of autos. A further inconvenience to riders making the connection to the E and F trains at Court Square requires climbing a full set of stairs, walking a city block underground and descending another set of stairs.
