    Chapter 5: Community Facilities and Services

    Chapter 5: Community Facilities and Services A. INTRODUCTION This chapter assesses the potential impacts of the proposed actions on community facilities and services. As described in Chapter 1, “Project Description,” the applicants, the New York City Department of City Planning (DCP) and SJC 33 Owner 2015 LLC, are proposing a series of discretionary actions (the proposed actions) that would facilitate the redevelopment of St. John’s Terminal Building at 550 Washington Street (Block 596, Lot 1) (the development site) with a mix of residential and commercial uses, and public open space (the proposed project) in Manhattan Community District 2. Community facilities and services are defined in the 2014 City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual as public or publicly funded schools, child care centers, libraries, health care facilities, and fire and police protection services. CEQR methodology focuses on direct effects on community facilities, such as when a facility is physically displaced or altered, and on indirect effects, which could result from increased demand for community facilities and services generated by new users such as the new population that would result from the proposed project. Since the certification of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), the New York City Department of Education’s (DOE) enrollment projections were updated. Therefore, the public school analysis has been updated for consistency with DOE’s enrollment projections for years 2015 through 2024, the most recent data currently available. In addition, based on guidance from SCA (see Appendix C, “Agency Correspondence”), existing capacity for the Sixth Avenue Elementary School has been updated to reflect 50 percent of the total capacity of this school to be counted towards sub-district 2.

    Report and Opinion

    Report and Opinion Concerning the Impact of the Proposed Obama Presidential Center on the Cultural Landscape of Jackson Park, Chicago, Illinois Including the Project’s Compatibility with Basic Policies of the Lakefront Plan of Chicago and the Purposes of the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection Ordinance By: Malcolm D. Cairns, FASLA Ball State University Muncie, Indiana May 15, 2018 Assessing the Effect of the Proposed Obama Presidential Center on the Historic Landscape of Jackson Park Prepared by: Malcolm Cairns, FASLA; Historic Landscape Consultant For: The Barack Obama Foundation Date: May 15, 2018 Statement of purpose and charge: To develop the historic landscape analysis that places the proposal to locate the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago’s Jackson Park in its proper historic context. This investigation was undertaken at the request of Richard F. Friedman of the law firm of Neal & Leroy, LLC, on behalf of the Barack Obama Foundation. The assignment was to investigate the proposed Obama Presidential Center master plan and to assess the effect of the project on the historic cultural landscape of Jackson Park, Chicago, a park listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This investigation has necessitated a thorough review of the cultural landscape history of Jackson Park, the original South Park, of which Jackson Park was an integral part, and of the history of the Chicago Park and Boulevard system. Critical in this landscape research were previous studies which resulted in statements of historic landscape significance and historic integrity, studies which listed historic landscape character-defining elements, and other documentation which provided both large and small scale listings of historic landscape form, structure, detail, and design intent which contribute to the historic character of the Park.
  • Central Park Spring Guide

    Central Park Spring Guide

    This is a spring like no other. When the world is in disarray, the natural wonder of a new season unfolding becomes a simple joy and a reminder of nature’s profound power to regenerate and revive. The Central Park Conservancy has been New York’s advocate for Central Park for the last four decades. And now, our staff’s role has become even more important as we work to keep the Park clean, safe, and healthy. A vibrant Central Park cleans the air for New Yorkers, provides a place for mental and physical well-being, and brings us together — even when we are kept apart. This spring, we ask you to join us in celebrating the simple miracles of life: the blooming magnolia, the sweeping vistas from a miniature castle, and the community that is New York. IN THIS GUIDE We look forward to a time when we can be together 2 A Note to Park-Goers in the Park. Until then, we hope our Spring Guide 3 Get to Know Central Park’s Spring Blooms provides you with a taste of the season. 4 Preparing for Spring in Conservatory Garden 5 Central Park Activities 10 Central Park Quiz 11 Central Park Map 2 A NOTE TO PARK-GOERS New York City has seen its share of crises, yet despite all we’ve lived through, New Yorkers remain resilient. In times of turmoil, Central Park has always been here, as a respite, an oasis, or simply a quiet place to escape when we feel overwhelmed. This holds true even as the City navigates the coronavirus outbreak.

How the rocks in Central Park formed and metamorphosed during the Paleozoic Era About 400 million year ago, this region was shallow sea floor, off the coast of the American Continent, and was the site of deposition of great thicknesses of sediment derived from the erosion of the nearby land (Fig. 1).

The redesigned map should be practical and able to be used in the real world. My choice on the New York State Park is the Central Park in Manhatten New York. I Chose Central Park because of my own experience. As a first time visitor in New York last year, I visited Central Park with my cousin who has been living in NewYork for seven years. While I was doing my research, I did not find any map for first-time visitors from the central park official website. If I were on my own while I first visited Central Park, I would not be able to know where to begin my visit. I am sure that the other first-time visitors would have the same problem. These are the reasons that my map is designed for first-time visitors who have a limited amount of time. In my map, I featured several top attractions in and around the park. I also included some top-rated restaurants around and inside the park since Knowing where to consume good food is essential during visiting.

This report measures the state of parks in Brooklyn. There are many different kinds of parks — active, passive, and pocket — and this report focuses on active parks that have a mix of amenities and uses. It is important for Brooklynites to have a pleasant park in their neighborhood to enjoy open space, meet their neighbors, play, and relax. While park equity is integral to creating One Brooklyn — a place where all residents can enjoy outdoor recreation and relaxation — fulfilling the vision of community parks first depends on measuring our current state of parks. This report will be used as a tool to guide my parks capital allocations and recommendations to the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks), as well as to identify recommendations to improve advocacy for parks at the community and grassroots level in order to improve neighborhoods across the borough.
