Onenyc 2021 PROGRESS REPORT OneNYC 2050 2021 PROGRESS REPORT DELIVERING ON THE GREEN NEW DEAL MAY 2021 1 2 FELLOW NEW YORKERS, Over the past year, our city has been tested in unprecedented ways. We have lived through a moment of converging physical, social, and economic risks that have amplified each other and disproportionately impacted our most marginalized communities. Through it all, New Yorkers remained resilient and came together to face these challenges head-on. The City mobilized quickly to respond and keep our residents, essential workers, students, communities, and businesses safe. And today, we are on a path to recovery, one that is centered on equity and fairness and ensures that climate change and the interrelated issues of equity and social justice are addressed. As we turn the corner and move to fully reopen our city, we are confident that the values of OneNYC, NYC’s long-term strategic plan and Green New Deal will guide us towards a recovery that works for all New Yorkers. The goals of OneNYC are based on the conviction that the fights for environmental sustainability, economic equality, and social justice are deeply intertwined. The COVID-19 pandemic has painfully highlighted the inequality that persists in our city, the life-and-death disparities in health outcomes associated with race, class, and gender, and an economic system that continues to fail society’s most vulnerable. We cannot and should not simply get back to the way things were – because the status quo was not working for too many in our city. Rather, we need to recover not just with an effort to bring back our economy and society, but also with a forceful drive for change to a new, better normal. ABOUT OneNYC 2050, NEW YORK CITY’S GREEN NEW DEAL AND LONG- TERM STRATEGIC PLAN OneNYC is a long-term strategy to secure our city’s future against the challenges of today and tomorrow. Created under the requirements of Local Law 84 of 2013, the eight integrated goals of OneNYC have served as a guide to confront our climate crisis, address our health and wealth inequities, and strengthen our democracy: 3 A Vibrant Democracy, where every New Yorker is welcomed into the civic and democratic life of the city. An Inclusive Economy, where economic growth creates opportunities for all New Yorkers and safeguards the American Dream. Thriving Neighborhoods, where all communities have safe, affordable housing and are well served by parks and culture. Healthy Lives, where health inequities are eliminated, and all residents have an equal opportunity to thrive. Equity and Excellence in Education, where schools are diverse and fair, and deliver high-quality education to children of all backgrounds. A Livable Climate, where we no longer rely on fossil fuels and are prepared for the impacts of climate change. Efficient Mobility, where reliable, safe, and sustainable transportation options mean no New Yorker needs to own a car. Modern Infrastructure, where reliable physical and digital infrastructure allows New Yorkers to flourish for decades. OneNYC has been a cornerstone of citywide strategic planning efforts and has mobilized City government to advance critical and timely priorities that will continue to impact future generations of New Yorkers. Through OneNYC, we have taken world-leading climate action, setting a path to carbon neutrality, passing the Climate Mobilization Act, divesting our pensions from fossil fuels, and preparing our city for climate change through a comprehensive resiliency program; we have guaranteed early childhood learning through Pre-K and 3- K for All; we have achieved record low pedestrian fatalities and reduced the rate of serious cyclist crashes with Vision Zero; we launched IDNYC to provide a free, official form of municipal identification for New York City residents; we created NYC Care, to guarantee low-cost and no-cost health care, and the Mayor's Office of Community Mental Health to promote mental health for all New Yorkers; we launched the Community Parks Initiative, the city's first equity-driven parks initiative to reimagine and rebuild parks in 4 neighborhoods with the highest need; we accelerated the construction and preservation of affordable housing to unprecedented levels through Housing New York and strengthened programs to keep New Yorkers in their homes and avoid eviction; we created NYC Secure, the City's first-ever cybersecurity initiative to protect New Yorkers online; we launched the Civic Engagement Commission to enhance civic participation, promote civic trust, and strengthen democracy; we set the City’s first-ever poverty reduction targets, and contracted with Minority and Women-Owned Businesses (M/WBEs) on more than $17 billion of projects. OneNYC has been a vehicle for change for our city, and the actions we have taken will help to secure a fair and equitable city into the future. THE OneNYC 2021 PROGRESS REPORT Despite facing unprecedented challenges this past year, the City continued to make progress implementing OneNYC initiatives and advancing the eight strategic goals. A few highlights of the City’s progress this year include: • Investment in public health infrastructure to be able to respond to infectious diseases: Amidst global demand and supply chain disruptions, the City rapidly procured necessary protective equipment, ventilators, and other essential supplies, and also supported local manufacturing of equipment needed to save lives and enable frontline workers to safely confront the pandemic. The City also ramped up a massive Test & Trace program and is now leading the largest vaccination effort in our history, which is critical to drive a recovery that works for all of us. • Expand voting rights and representation to bring more New Yorkers to the polls: In November 2020, amid widespread national reports of voter suppression, Democracy NYC organized the Election Observation Corps and recruited, trained, and mobilized 500 plus volunteers to monitor poll sites on Election Day for instances of voter intimidation and harassment. • Advance equity in K-12 opportunity and achievement: DOE developed a hybrid model of remote and classroom learning, and provided support 5 and services to students to facilitate the transition to remote learning, including reducing educational barriers for students living in temporary housing or shelters, distributing over 15,000 LTE-enabled iPads, providing tele-therapy and remote counseling, and operating over 400 Meal Hubs for students and their families. The City also became the first large school district to return to in-person learning while supporting student wellbeing and implementing safety and health measures. In addition, the City reaffirmed our commitment to early childhood education with a major expansion of 3-K for all to reach every district by Fall 2021. • Ensure all New Yorkers have the opportunity to live healthy lives by taking an interdisciplinary approach to advance health equity and create a more equitable society: To manage the long-term needs of COVID-19 patients in the public hospital system, DDC constructed three COVID-19 Centers of Excellence for NYC Health + Hospitals in Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx. • Tackle health inequality by managing the impacts of extreme heat: In Summer 2020, the City launched the GetCool program to install more than 73,000 free air conditioning units in the homes of qualifying low-income seniors. • Ensure all New Yorkers have access to neighborhood open spaces and cultural resources: NYC Parks worked with City agencies to ensure New Yorkers could travel to parks and access green space safely; and DOT created new programs to ensure New Yorkers had access to safe open space while supporting local businesses and cultural organizations, including Open Restaurants, Open Streets, Open Culture, and Open Storefronts. • Ensure access to nutritious and affordable food: DSNY created an interagency team called GetFoodNYC with a singular focus to ensure no New Yorker goes hungry during the COVID-19 crisis. To-date, the program has served over 200 million meals to New Yorkers in need. The City also released Food Forward NYC, our first ever 10-year food policy plan, laying out a comprehensive policy framework to create a more equitable, sustainable, and healthy food system. 6 • Ensure all New Yorkers are afforded transformative justice, basic human rights, and racial and gender equity: Established the citywide Taskforce on Racial Inclusion and Equity, which works to ensure that COVID-19 response and recovery efforts are tailored to meet the specific needs of New Yorkers in communities of color, and launched the nation's first-ever Racial Justice Commission to root out systemic and institutional racism. • Fight for climate accountability and justice: Divested over $4 billion from fossil fuels and committed to net zero pensions by 2040; more than doubled pension investments in climate solutions and committed to invest $50 billion by 2035; and launched a first-of-its-kind program to embed environmental justice into City government decision-making. • Advance shared responsibility for community safety and neighborhood policing: Released the NYC Police Reform and Reinvention Collaborative draft plan, a set of 36 reforms to confront the harmful legacy of racialized policing, and to ensure recovery will be driven by increased power of community members in policing and neighborhood safety. • Empower all New Yorkers to participate in our democracy: Despite pivoting to digital outreach due to the COVID-19 health crisis, NYC Census registered a historic self-response rate to the 2020 census, and directly counted or assisted half a million New Yorkers, sending 7 million texts, making 4 million calls, and running ad campaigns in a record-breaking 27 languages. THE PATH FORWARD While the health and fiscal crisis has disrupted our lives and the city in unprecedented ways, the federal stimulus and a robust vaccination campaign are propelling New York City to recovery. In April, the City released its Recovery Budget, a historic stimulus-driven investment in our comeback that will drive economic growth, lift up small businesses, and ensure a clean and safe city for all.

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.
