Forest City Ratner brass said this week they plan to tweak the mammoth $4.2-billion mega-development by eliminating a few hundred luxury ap- artments and reducing the height of the 620-foot “Miss Brooklyn” tower — but the cost will be additional public subsidies for the 2,250 units of below- market-rate rentals that Ratner’s prom- / Becky Holladay ised to include in the plan.

    BROOKLYN TRANSIT PRIMARY SOURCE PACKET Student Name 1 2 INTRODUCTORY READING "New York City Transit - History and Chronology." Mta.info. Metropolitan Transit Authority. Web. 28 Dec. 2015. Adaptation In the early stages of the development of public transportation systems in New York City, all operations were run by private companies. Abraham Brower established New York City's first public transportation route in 1827, a 12-seat stagecoach that ran along Broadway in Manhattan from the Battery to Bleecker Street. By 1831, Brower had added the omnibus to his fleet. The next year, John Mason organized the New York and Harlem Railroad, a street railway that used horse-drawn cars with metal wheels and ran on a metal track. By 1855, 593 omnibuses traveled on 27 Manhattan routes and horse-drawn cars ran on street railways on Third, Fourth, Sixth, and Eighth Avenues. Toward the end of the 19th century, electricity allowed for the development of electric trolley cars, which soon replaced horses. Trolley bus lines, also called trackless trolley coaches, used overhead lines for power. Staten Island was the first borough outside Manhattan to receive these electric trolley cars in the 1920s, and then finally Brooklyn joined the fun in 1930. By 1960, however, motor buses completely replaced New York City public transit trolley cars and trolley buses. The city's first regular elevated railway (el) service began on February 14, 1870. The El ran along Greenwich Street and Ninth Avenue in Manhattan. Elevated train service dominated rapid transit for the next few decades. On September 24, 1883, a Brooklyn Bridge cable-powered railway opened between Park Row in Manhattan and Sands Street in Brooklyn, carrying passengers over the bridge and back.

  • 147 EIGHTH AVENUE HOUSE, Manhattan Built C
    Landmarks Preservation Commission November 17, 2009 Designation List No.423 LP-2346 147 EIGHTH AVENUE HOUSE, Manhattan Built c. 1828, architect unknown Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 741, Lot 32 On June 23, 2009, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation of the 147 Eighth Avenue House and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 5). The hearing was duly advertised according to provisions of law. Three witnesses spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of the Historic Districts Council, the Society for the Architecture of the City, and Community Board 4. Summary No. 147 Eighth Avenue is one of a pair of highly intact 3 1/2 story Federal style houses constructed 1827 to 1828. It is a rare survivor from the earliest period of development in the area that is now part of Chelsea. No. 147 Eighth Avenue has continuously housed both residential tenants and businesses, reflecting the evolving commercial character of Eighth Avenue. The building was constructed 1828 for Stephen Weeks, who owned the property for a short time. He continued to conduct business at this location, well into the 1840s. Over the course of the centuries, the original storefront configuration of the ground floor has had several alterations; however, this row house, like its neighbor at 145 Eighth Avenue, is intact above its storefront and exhibits the attributes of the Federal style houses of the era. This row house has a steeply pitched roof, with double dormer windows. The building shares a party wall and central chimney with its neighbor, and a façade clad in Flemish bond brickwork.
