The report should identify the number of residential units, floor area of residential, number of affordable and market rate, and for the affordable units, identify the duration of the affordability (e.g., permanent, 20- year, etc). Per building, the report should identify the AMI levels for the affordable housing, and differentiate between rentals and home ownership units. The report should also identify those buildings that were proposed as residential, but resulted in commercial development. The report should evaluate the success of the Hudson Square Rezoning in terms of its original goals, particularly the creation of housing stock (affordable and market rate). Based on the results of the study, identify methods available to rebalance or course-correct the rezoning in order to produce additional residential housing stock, with a focus on affordable versus market rate.

In the aftermath of the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy in 2012, compounded by Climate Change, it has become clear that the Hudson River waterfront is dangerously vulnerable to storm surges, extreme weather and tidal events. There has, however, been been opposition to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers proposals for abatement of the effects of these phenomena, because among other things the USACE recommendations do not take into account local conditions. The newly created Waterfront Code Committee could also potentially be part of this process. After making this request in previous years, the agency response was that further study of the request was needed - without undertaking such a study or indicating what aspects of the problem should be studied.

| 1 | Capital | MCB6 | Department of Citywide Administrative Services | Municipal facilities for CD6 | Manhattan Community Board 6 (CB6) currently leases office space under a 10-year agreement that's due to end in September 2028. However, this space cannot accommodate the Board's mandated monthly Full Board meetings under Section 2800(h) of the City Charter. Each month, CB6 convenes 11 public meetings, which require facilities for as many as 100 attendees, yet district venues are either unavailable, cost-prohibitive, or lack the necessary technology for hybrid and accessible participation. As a result, this agency struggles to fulfill its Charter-mandated role of hosting open, accessible meetings for the public. Ideally, CB6 requests a 5,000 sq. ft. office space with a 150-seat public meeting room. Providing a purpose- built civic space would strengthen government transparency, ensure compliance with the City Charter, and improve public participation in the democratic process. Such a space could also serve other agencies that also struggle to find meeting spaces. Recognizing that the request is a long-term solution, CB6 also requests immediate assistance from DCAS in optimizing our existing office space. For example, removing outdated heavy filing cabinets and unused storage units would free up urgently needed square footage and allow us to operate more effectively in the interim. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate. 25-0599: DCAS does not have a conceptually approved Space Request for this.

| 1 | Capital | MCB6 | Department of Environmental Protection | Replace all lead service lines | Lead is poisonous and can irreversibly affect every organ and system in the human body causing health problems for people of all ages. Before 1961, NYC policy was to first encourage, then require, building construction to use lead pipes so 27.4% of all buildings in CB6 continue to have lead service lines. Since the service lines are privately owned under NYC law, property owners should not bear the direct cost of replacing the remaining lead pipes. The Federal Lead and Copper Rule Improvements issued by the Environmental Protection Agency on October 8, 2024, require the removal of all lead service lines by December 31, 2037. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) provide appropriations for the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) program to finance lead service line identification and replacement projects. The cost of replacing lead pipes is significantly lower in the long run than the cost of healthcare from lead exposure over an individual's lifetime. | Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

| 1 | Capital | MCB6 | Housing Preservation & Development | More affordable housing | The City of New York faces an ongoing housing affordability crisis that requires bold and coordinated investment. We are requesting capital funding to urge City agencies to study, identify, and build on City-owned sites to provide affordable housing, particularly low- and moderate-income households and ask that the City help subsidize new affordable housing with the goal that at least 25% of all new units constructed in CD6 are affordable year over year. According to Population Factfinder on DCP's website, which uses US Census data, between 2010 and 2020, only 4,665 new housing units were constructed in CD6. The NYU Furman Center has identified that 91% of all units constructed in CD6 since 2010 are market rate. The 9% of affordable units constructed in CD6 is lower than the Manhattan average (22%) and Citywide average (27%). In keeping with the Manhattan and Citywide trend, asking that 25% of all new units are affordable would be consistent with the average. We believe this funding will support a comprehensive effort to analyze available sites, engage communities in planning, and deliver high-quality housing developments that are financially accessible and sustainable. | Agency supports and can accommodate. HPD finances and supports different types of projects. Many projects are 100% affordable, and a portion of those units are ELI/VLI. Some projects contain a majority of ELI/VLI units.

| 1 | Capital | MCB6 | New York Public Library | Kips Bay Library HVAC | The New York Public Library respectfully requests $5,500,000 in capital funding to replace the old, outdated HVAC system at the Kips Bay Library. This essential infrastructure project will ensure that the branch continues to be a welcoming space for all patrons by modernizing the building's physical plant with a state-of-the-art, energy-efficient heating and cooling system. The current HVAC system struggles to maintain a consistent and comfortable indoor climate, especially during periods of extreme outdoor weather and temperatures. Replacing this system will ensure a comfortable, climate-controlled environment that meets the needs of a diverse and expanding population from pre-school and elementary school children in after-school programs to senior citizens seeking social and educational engagement. The replacement system will serve all areas of the library, which are experiencing increased growth and usage from the community. According to NYPL data, there has been a marked rise in visits from educators and students using curriculum-aligned research materials, and a 100% increase in school field trip attendance. Once completed, this investment will provide for the long-term a comfortable and climatized environment for its thousands of residents and patrons.

| 7 | Capital | MCB6 | Department of Parks & Recreation | Pickle Ball Courts at St. Vartan Park | More than 2500 pickleball and handball players in the St. Vartan Park community are in need of renovated courts in the west end of the park on each side of the handball wall. The four pickleball courts require resurfacing to create regulation-size and level playing surfaces, and appropriate lines for both pickleball and handball. The current courts have cracks and, as such, have been causing player injuries. The surface material currently used for the adjacent basketball courts would be a more appropriate playing surface. As pickleball is the nation's fastest growing sport, there is a significant increase in space and time needed for pickleball players. The addition of more court lights and/or lampposts would allow more community members to use the courts. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate. This request requires capital funding.

| 8 | Capital | MCB6 | Department of Parks & Recreation | Installing Irrigation Capability at Ralph J. Bunche Park | Ralph Bunche Park on First Avenue across the street from the United Nations Headquarters is in need of a water irrigation system for the park's plants. During a drought in 2022, the demise of many plants in the park was attributed to the absence of an irrigation system. The current system of volunteers periodically watering plants through hoses and watering cans is insufficient. With scaffolding in the park having been removed, there is a heightened need for care of sun-impacted plants. In 2022, community residents and visitors to what is known as the city's first peace park were denied a thriving park because of the lack of an irrigation system. Visitors include attendees of September's United Nations General Assembly, the world's largest annual assemblage of world leaders. | Agency supports and can accommodate.

Mental health and trauma informed services are critical for the families with which ACS works. Below are some of the ways that these types of programs are infused in the work of ACS: • ACS’s prevention service continuum includes models that specifically work with families that have experienced trauma and all of our prevention programs connect families in need to behavioral health services. Some examples of model that focus on trauma and/or mental health services are: -- CPP is an intervention model for children ages birth-5 who have experienced at least one traumatic event and/or are experiencing mental health, attachment, and/or behavioral problems. CPP examines how the child’s and/or caregiver’s trauma histories affect the parent- child relationship. CPP supports and strengthens the caregiver-child relationships to restore the child’s sense of safety and attachment. --FT/R is specifically for families where substance use or mental health is the primary issue of the caregiver. The intervention is organized into treatment phases with the support of a Clinical Diagnostic Team. --TST is a trauma-informed clinical and organizational model designed to help understand and address the needs of families with youth who have been exposed to traumatic events and are experiencing emotional and behavioral problems as a result. TST focuses on the interaction between the child’s difficulties regulating his/her emotions and the deficits within the child’s social environment (home, school, and neighborhood) --MST-CAN is an adaptation of Multisystemic Therapy (MST) and was developed to treat families with children aged 6 to 18 that have come to the attention of ACS due to high risk and safety issues. MST- CAN is reserved only for very high-risk cases. MST-CAN therapists complete a functional assessment of the family and safety plans. Therapists provide treatment in the home, including parent training; safety planning; substance use treatment; Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) treatment for children, youth and adults; anger management; marital therapy; and family therapy. Understanding that children and youth who come into foster care have often experienced trauma, in addition to the state required foster parent training, we require additional training for our foster parents called TRIPP, Trauma-Responsive and Informed Parenting Program (TRIPP). TRIPP is a learning rogram designed to prepare and support oster parents to care for children who have xperienced trauma and may have therapeutic eeds. This comprehensive training applies a rauma-informed lens and includes intensive reparation and development components that eflect the capacities required of foster parents. he training tackles separation, loss, grief, rauma, and differences of race and culture in oster care. TRIPP supports caregivers’ ability to etermine their own capacity to parent and/or xplore additional supports, resources, or raining needed to gain the capacity to parent. It lso prepares caregivers by increasing their nowledge and ability to understand and espond to the unique needs of children placed n their care. TRIPP allows participants to ractice examining and reinterpreting the ehavior of children, in order to appropriately espond to their underlying thoughts, feelings nd needs, rather than react to their behavior. | This request has already been completed.

| 1 | Expense | MCB10 | Youth & Community Development | Restoration of Afterschool Program Funding in Central Harlem | At the start of the 2024-2025 school year, many families found that the afterschool programs their children depend on are no longer available. To prevent this from occurring in future budget decisions, Manhattan Community Board 10 urges DYCD to invest $2.1 million dollars for afterschool funding and coordinate city and state resources for afterschool programmatic funds. Afterschool programs offer vital benefits, including academic support, enhanced social skills, and safe, supervised environments for children. Despite their importance, these programs have been cut from many traditional public schools in our community due to changes in the State's funding formula. The Office of Children and Family Services has consolidated several funding sources into a single Leap Program, requiring providers to reapply. As a result, many non-profit organizations that previously ran these programs did not secure funding. This funding crisis has left families and public schools scrambling for safe afterschool options. However, we believe that the issue extends beyond funding alone. A lack of coordination between New York State and New York City has exacerbated the problem, leaving children and families in our community without essential resources. We urge you to advocate for the formation of a joint task force, composed of representatives from both New York State and New York City agencies. This task force should examine the coordination gaps between state and city efforts and develop a comprehensive plan to address the immediate and long-term need for afterschool programs in communities like ours. Afterschool programs provide supervised environments that protect children from dangerous influences such as gang involvement, substance abuse, and other risky behaviors. They also alleviate the burden on older siblings and working parents, who otherwise may have to leave their children unattended or miss work, risking charges of neglect or abuse. | This request has already been completed. DYCD has begun a three-year, 20,000 seat expansion of the COMPASS afterschool program. | OMB supports the agency's position as follows: This request has already been completed.

| 1 | Expense | MCB11 | Dept. of Health & Mental Hygiene | Funding for additional social workers | East Harlem has the highest measured prevalence of current depression in New York City (21.4%), based on a Manhattan neighborhood analysis published in Cureus (2023). Psychiatric hospitalization rates in East Harlem are also nearly three times the citywide average, underscoring both the scale of unmet need and the urgency of preventive, community-based intervention. Bringing services into schools, NYCHA housing, and faith/community centers reduces stigma and transportation barriers. Many NYC programs (e.g., ThriveNYC's mental health clinics in schools) have already shown this model works, so scaling in East Harlem is realistic. Addressing stigma through community-based education and outreach is critical, but lasting change requires more frontline providers. To meet this need, we request funding for additional social workers dedicated to East Harlem, who can expand treatment access, deliver evidence-based interventions, and help reduce avoidable hospitalizations. | This request has already been completed.

In addition, a survey conducted by the NYC Anti-Violence Project (2023) found that LGBTQ+ youth in East Harlem are more likely to experience homelessness and violence than their peers elsewhere in Manhattan, with 40% of respondents reporting housing insecurity and 25% reporting violence based on their gender identity or sexual orientation. Substance use disorders are also disproportionately high within LGBTQ+ communities due to the compounded effects of stigma, discrimination, and mental health challenges. Addressing substance use through targeted mental health services and addiction recovery programs must be a key component of any LGBTQ+ support strategy. LGBTQ+ specific services are critically needed, including mental health support, legal services, housing assistance for at- risk LGBTQ+ individuals, and substance use interventions. Funding should prioritize expanding trauma-informed care, providing culturally competent healthcare, and increasing access to emergency shelters.

| 5 | Expense | MCB11 | Human Resources Administration | Expand housing assistance, legal aid, and healthcare services for migrants | Provide funding to expand housing assistance, legal aid, and healthcare services for migrants in East Harlem. Programs should prioritize language access services, mental health care, and pathways to work authorization, addressing the specific needs of asylum seekers. Collaborations with organizations should be expanded to provide targeted outreach and comprehensive support. Additionally, funding should support vocational training and ESL programs to help migrants integrate and find employment. East Harlem has seen a significant increase in the arrival of migrants, particularly asylum seekers from Latin America, Africa, and the Caribbean. According to the NYC Department of Social Services, East Harlem has been one of the neighborhoods most impacted due to its high proportion of immigrants and its existing shelter and service infrastructure. The community has seen a dramatic rise in Venezuelan, Honduran, and Haitian asylum seekers, many of whom arrive with limited resources and face difficulties in accessing housing, healthcare, and employment. Migrants arriving in East Harlem face multiple barriers, including language difficulties, lack of legal representation, and limited access to social services. According to the NYC Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs (2023), nearly 30% of East Harlem's population is foreign-born, with a growing number of undocumented individuals and asylum seekers. The shelter system in the neighborhood is overwhelmed, with more migrants in need of housing, legal support for asylum applications, and healthcare services, including trauma-informed care for those fleeing violence or persecution. | This request has already been completed.

East Harlem continues to struggle with a growing rodent population, which poses significant public health risks. Current funding levels are not adequate as East Harlem continues to experience an exponential increase in the rodent population. Rodent infestations contribute to the spread of diseases and exacerbate sanitation concerns.

| 7 | Expense | MCB11 | Human Resources Administration | Expand food assistance | Provide, expand, or enhance food assistance. There is a growing number of East Harlem residents who are food insecure or lack access to basic, healthy foods.

According to NYC Department of Health data, East Harlem has a 1:17 ratio of supermarkets to bodegas, the second lowest in Manhattan. Furthermore, according to the East Harlem Community Health Profile, 18 percent of East Harlem residents do not eat at least one serving of fruit or vegetables per day (compared to 10% overall in Manhattan) and 30 percent drink at least one or more 12 oz. sugar drinks per day (compared to 16 percent overall in Manhattan). | This request has already been completed.

| 8 | Expense | MCB11 | Dept. of Health & Mental Hygiene | Funding for specialized medical staff and peer support workers | East Harlem has one of the highest drug overdose death rates in New York City,56 per 100,000 residents, compared to the citywide average of 21.2 per 100,000 (NYC DOHMH). This crisis is concentrated along the 103rd, 110th, 116th, and 125th Street corridors, where overdoses, public drug use, and frequent emergency responses affect residents, families, and businesses daily. Current services are not sufficient to meet the scale of need, and without targeted community-level interventions, overdose deaths and related harms will remain unacceptably high. To address this crisis, we request funding for additional specialized medical staff and peer support workers in East Harlem, who can provide street-level engagement, connect at-risk populations to treatment, and reduce preventable deaths. | This request has already been completed.

| 12 | Capital | BXCB3 | Department of Parks & Recreation | Crotona Park Amphitheater | The Crotona Park Amphitheater in Community District Three is a valuable venue for community events, providing a space for performances, gatherings, and celebrations that bring together residents of all ages. However, the lack of a permanent or retractable covering over the stage poses a significant limitation, especially in inclement weather. We propose constructing a permanent or retractable covering for the amphitheater stage to enhance its functionality and ensure uninterrupted use during special events. A stage covering would shield performers, speakers, and attendees from exposure to intense sunlight, heavy rain, or snow, allowing events to continue comfortably and safely. This addition would be particularly valuable during the summer months when the sun can be intense, as well as during unexpected weather changes that could otherwise disrupt events. By incorporating heating and cooling features, the covering can create a climate-controlled environment, extending the amphitheater's usability across seasons. Such features would allow the space to be used more frequently, promoting year-round programming that is currently limited by seasonal temperature extremes. With a covering, the Crotona Park Amphitheater could accommodate a wider range of events without weather-related cancellations or discomfort. From summer concerts and outdoor movie nights to springtime community festivals and autumn performances, the covering would transform the amphitheater into a reliable, weather-resistant venue. Enhanced Community Engagement: The covering would foster greater community engagement by making the amphitheater a more inviting space for residents to gather, rain or shine. Events that are comfortable and accessible in various weather conditions are likely to attract higher attendance, fostering a stronger sense of community and encouraging ongoing participation in park-based activities. This request represents a long-term investment in the community's infrastructure. By protecting the stage area from exposure to the elements, the covering would also help preserve the amphitheater itself, reducing maintenance costs associated with weather-related wear and tear. A versatile amphitheater could also attract outside performers and events, boosting the local economy and enhancing the cultural offerings available to the community. This improvement to Crotona Park aligns with the community's ongoing efforts to create inclusive, safe, and welcoming public spaces. A permanent or retractable covering with climate control features would significantly enhance the functionality, durability, and appeal of the Crotona Park Amphitheater. This addition would allow the space to serve as a year-round venue, ensuring that residents can continue to enjoy and benefit from this vital community resource in all weather conditions. | Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

The Amphitheater currently serves as a venue for concerts, youth performances, fitness programs, senior activities, and community events. However, its usability is severely limited by weather conditions, resulting in frequent cancellations due to rain, heat, or cold.

This means that greenways, which frequently have tree roots, potholes, sand patches, and other hazards, become substantially more dangerous as the sun goes down, which happens quite early for much of the year. This leaves people without cars with a dilemma: risk a car not seeing or not yielding to us and getting hit on the road or risk a crash and the ensuing injuries on the Greenways. Our greenways need proper lighting and far better care, both in maintaining smooth surface and clearing debris regularly, especially after mowing. | Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

The unprotected bike lane currently has a few problems. First and foremost, it is not a bike lane. It is a parking lane for cars to double park. This is almost understandable as there is no safe and convenient alternative for local trips without a safe place for bikes and scooters. The second is that even when the unprotected bike lane is clear, people on bikes and scooters are at constant risk of getting doored by people exiting their cars AND getting hit by cars with phone distracted drivers who drive into the bike lane. A Morris Park Ave protected bike lane would also provide a closer connection to the Bronx River Greenway, allowing our residents the ability to safely get to Randall's Island and other boroughs. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

This makes our streets and crosswalks less safe, interferes with quality of life due to blocked in drivers honking, makes the few protected bike lanes we have almost unusable as trucks, delivery vehicles, and private vehicles park in them with impunity. We desperately need our traffic laws to be enforced, and we need personnel to do that. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

Sidewalk space is insufficient for shoppers, runners, walkers, wheelchair users, those pushing strollers, and dog walkers. The success of the bike lane means that it is now too narrow to accommodate current or future usage. The city should study options for expanding pedestrian space and right-sizing the bike lanes to improve safety for all users. The Kent retail corridor also needs loading zones to support businesses and daylighting throughout to minimize conflicts and provide a safe environment for all street users. | Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

This program, which repairs homeowners' sidewalks that have been severely damaged by root growth, has limited funding. There is a long waiting list for repairs that are prioritized based on a rating system. Commends received at the Community Board's Public Hearing have called for immediate attention to this worsening problem, which puts pedestrians at risk and imposes an unfair burden on property owners, who should not be held responsible since the city planted these trees. Although qualified under the rating system, homeowners have waited for years. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Due to limited resources, we are only able to repair the most severely damaged sites across all five boroughs. We agree that additional funding would increase the capacity of this program, but additional funding cannot be determined at this time. Homeowners who do not qualify for the program are encouraged to engage an independent contractor and apply for a free tree work permit to repair the site. Homeowners who choose this option, can file a claim against the City of New York for reimbursement. According to Local Law 49 (2003), property owners of one-, two-, or three-family residential property that is (i) in whole or in part, owner occupied, and (ii) used exclusively for residential purposes will not be held liable for injury due to sidewalk damaged by City tree roots. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate Explanation: Due to limited resources, we are only able to repair the most severely damaged sites across all five boroughs.

| 1 | Capital | BKCB2 | Department of Citywide Administrative Services | District Office Infrastructure Investments | BKCB2 recommends a comprehensive assessment of our operating and technical needs, and a commensurate increase in our baseline operating budget. There has been no Citywide assessment of Community Board technical needs since Windstream acquired PAETEC's municipal contracts in 2011. Windstream has consistently failed to provide reliable phone and internet service or equipment since beginning bankruptcy proceedings in 2019. This is just one example of widespread underinvestment in the basic needs of Community Board operations. A recurring theme expressed by our City agency partners across all of this year's Borough Budget Consultations was, ""We are budgeted to address [X program/concern], but we need more support with direct local outreach."" The general public is also increasingly expectant that government offices utilize modern tools and offer digital connectivity. As the most local unit of nonpartisan City government, Community Boards need an infusion of infrastructure, equipment, and staff support to meet modern challenges, effectively partner with City agencies, efficiently serve our residents, and support greater community engagement. The scope of assessment and investment must include basic office and field equipment updates; a survey of phone, internet, and broadcasting infrastructure and gaps; a survey of staff training and upskilling needs; and baselining of fundamental SaaS tools including design and communication (newsletter) software, and news, database, and research subscriptions. To be clear, this requires a significant periodic investment above our extremely modest $13-$15k average annual OTPS allotment.

Particulate matter that is 2.5μm or smaller (""PM2.5"") penetrates deep into the lungs and bloodstream, causing chronic and often lethal heart and lung disease. Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) such as gas-powered vehicles are the leading source of PM2.5. Long term exposure to PM2.5 contributes to 1 out of 25 deaths in NYC, and per the 2018 Community Health Profile, the levels of fine particulate matter and the rate of child asthma emergency room visits are notably higher in BKCD2 than in NYC as a whole. BKCD2 contains 1.5 miles (12%) of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE) within its boundaries and has 3 Neighborhood Tabulation Areas in Brooklyn's 10 highest PM2.5 levels--the most of any Brooklyn Community District.

The Behavioral Health Emergency Assistance Response Division (B-HEARD) is limited in its hours of operation, its geographic distribution, and in the types of calls considered eligible for a response. This means that many people who may need a B-HEARD team are instead provided a "traditional response" by the NYPD. B-HEARD currently covers only 31 of the 79 NYPD Precincts.

Printing: $0.08/postcard = $6,400 USPS EDDM bulk postage: $0.247/postcard = $19,760 Investing in Community Boards is an investment in accountable, equitable, and responsive government for every New Yorker. Community Boards play a uniquely democratic role in shaping development, addressing neighborhood concerns, ensuring residents have a voice in city decisions, and educating residents about municipal systems and functions. Yet we operate with one third of the staff of City Council offices despite serving a similar-sized population, and are typically allocated an OTPS budget of less than $15k per year. Increasing our baseline budget specifically for outreach purposes would strengthen our ability to reach and engage the public, conduct meaningful planning, and respond effectively to community needs. Outreach will become even more urgent in the coming decade as Community Board term limits take effect, thereby decreasing institutional knowledge and increasing the need for new Member recruitment. | Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

The tiny cave-like basement cafeteria is the largest open space in the school. The low tin roof and cement walls do little to absorb the loud whir of giant freezers or the noise of the fans used to cool the space due to the lack of air conditioning and window space. When you add more than 350 students during lunchtime the sounds reverberate around the room. The noise drowns out any conversations happening at the tables. By adding wall & ceiling mounted sound panels, extraneous noise will be lessened to manageable levels. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

| 3 | Capital | BKCB6 | Department of Transportation | Reconstruct streets | Sufficient funds are requested to remediate the problems associated with the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway Trench running through our district parallel to Hicks Street. The BQE Trench inhibits local access and mobility between the Columbia Waterfront, Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill neighborhoods. The concentration of traffic flowing through the trench creates vibrations, noise, odors and other air emissions that impact the residential communities adjacent to the trench. The trench provides opportunities to create new open space and expand resiliency measures (photovoltaics, storm water capture/diversion, etc.). Building on the momentum of a prior study's findings, remedies and opportunities must now be considered, funded and constructed. | Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

| 4 | Capital | BKCB6 | Department of Transportation | Other transportation infrastructure requests | Sufficient funds are requested for the construction of traffic safety median islands in the Furman-Atlantic-Columbia transition area, the approach to Brooklyn Bridge Park's Pier 6 public park, and area growing in popularity and increasingly traveled by pedestrians and recreation users. Prior to the opening of Pier 6, this area was generally unused by pedestrians and was almost exclusively a southbound route used by commuters seeking to avoid the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. Now, with the opening of Pier 6 and the two-way conversion of Furman Street, vehicular and pedestrian traffic patterns have completely altered the use and complexion of this bustling area. Immediate in- house improvements have done a lot to improve safety, at the cost of aesthetics. | The agency does not understand the request as written and requires more clarification.

| 6 | Capital | BKCB6 | Department of Transportation | Repair or construct sidewalks, curbs, or pedestrian ramps | In addition to the regular cement sidewalk replacement activity, we request that the department broaden its scope to include the option of restoring by contract those sidewalks which include special treatments, notably bluestone material. Not only is bluestone a more durable material with significantly longer life expectancy, it also serves to enhance the historic integrity and value of the community. Many property owners are willing to pay the extra cost to have this option, especially given the City's ability to leverage lower cost through bulk contracting. | Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. Please reach out to elected representatives regarding this request since the cost for this non-standard construction material is beyond our current budget. | Sidewalks are the responsibility of the adjacent property owner.

| 7 | Capital | BKCB6 | Department of Transportation | Reconstruct streets | Sufficient funds are requested for the acquisition, mapping, design and construction of a new City street which would extend Conover Street northward from Pioneer Street to Hamilton Avenue in Red Hook. This new street will not only provide additional capacity to handle the new traffic volumes destined for the cruise ship terminal under construction at Pier 12, but will also provide an alternative for the relocation of the Van Brunt Street leg of the City's local Truck Route network in Red Hook. It will ensure that the local street grid is not only not negatively impacted by the cruise terminal traffic but that it will benefit from relieving Van Brunt Street of trucks and removing the existing conflict by directing trucks closer to the industrial section of the neighborhood. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

| CS | Capital | BKCB6 | Department of Transportation | Reconstruct streets | Funds in the amount of $26,300,000 are requested to undertake a reconstruction of the Union Street Bridge (HBK1213), a double-leaf Scherzer Bascule bridge which spans the Gowanus Canal. This bridge received a FAIR rating yet is one of the few east-west connectors that provide access and mobility throughout our district. It is a vital corridor that links our waterfront to inland points. Deferred public investment increases the vulnerability of this structure as unanticipated structural failures may occur, resulting in increased cost and time of repair and unwarranted impacts on the surrounding community. We would also like a modified riding surface for the bicycle lane section of the bridge to make it safer and more comfortable for the cyclists who use this segment of the network. | Agency does not support but can address the need alternatively.

Since curbside composting programs were cut due to the pandemic, the most-asked question at the farm has been "Are you all accepting food scraps for composting?" Red Hook has no farmer's market and so no access to even private food-scrap composting operations. As such, all food scraps are going to landfills (a city-wide increase of 100 million pounds / year) - food scraps that could instead be used to create rich compost at a local site that already has capacity and expertise, and increase community cohesion, youth empowerment to boot. | The agency does not understand the request as written and requires more clarification.

This is particularly urgent because the City must require or encourage last-mile distribution warehouses to increase the use of water-borne delivery. This will require capital investment, but will also include expenses for non-infrastructure changes. This is not a new need, but has become more urgent as the new last-mile distribution warehouses will increase trucking through the neighborhood, with concomitant traffic safety, road wear, and environmental pollution.

A space of our own that is large enough to accommodate our membership and the public during general meetings and public hearings is crucial to our success in generating public interest in civic engagement. The old Rescue 2 firehouse building at 1472 Bergen Street is an ideal location as the building is city-owned as is the land around it.

Children who can't transition from "learning to read to reading to learn" by third grade are 13 times more likely not to graduate on time from high school if they graduate at all. Sadly, the crisis does not end there as 64% of NYC middle school students read below their grade's reading level. These students face much worse outcomes in life like incarceration, gang activity, under employment, continued poverty, mental depression, and several other disorders that have the potential to lower their quality of life. Additional literacy programs and services to bring them up to level are necessary to allow them to thrive. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

District 8 has had several fatal residential fires in calendar year 2024. If the residents in the buildings had been properly educated, we believe most of the fires could have been prevented. While fears around uncertified lithium ion batteries from e-bikes remain high and at the forefront of educational initiatives, additional PSAs need to be issued around lesser feared causes of fire. Some of these include "dressed" or fancy candles with incendiary inclusions; burning incense; keeping appliances such as air fryers and crock pots plugged in and on while unattended; not using grounded outlets for larger appliances; not maintaining smoke alarms, etc. | Agency supports and can accommodate.

However, the growing affordability crisis in New York City coupled with the increase in cases n landlord/tenant court illustrates the demand for additional enforcement officers. Aging housing stock in some areas has led to a growing number of residents living in unkept units with habitability violations. Because not everyone has the luxury of means to move to better housing options, HPD needs to ensure that consequences and repercussions for allowing units to fall into disrepair are great enough and harsh enough to encourage speedy and proper repair to units. Inspections are crucial for tenants in landlord/tenant court and the lack of timely inspections hampers tenants' cases and leads to eviction. | This request has already been completed.

We need to ensure that seniors and the elderly as well as those lacking mental acuity are protected from scammers and receive necessary services to help them recover in the instances when they are victims of scam operations. Additionally, greater efforts need to be made to ensure that seniors have educational resources available to them in modalities that are wide ranging to accommodate their needs (inclusive of print, radio, television, and other types of campaigns). | Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

| 4 | Expense | BKCB8 | Dept. of Health & Mental Hygiene | Animal and pest control requests including reducing rat and mosquito populations | The large number of development, renovation, and enlargement projects in the district and citywide have disrupted rodent burrows to the point where rodents are visible during daylight hours. Residents and CB8 staff and members overwhelmingly support DOHMH implementing a policy change mandating that developers bait more than just the perimeter of their projects and instead bait a wider berth, as well as the city enforcing harsh penalties on properties that do not perform abatement to allow the city the opportunity to focus on other health related issues and needs. | This request has already been completed.

| 4 | Expense | BKCB8 | Department of Parks & Recreation | Other park maintenance and safety requests | We are requesting that the tree and sidewalk program provide greater forestry services including root pruning and sidewalk leveling where street trees have caused displacement of sidewalk flags. Additionally, private contractors that do sidewalk repair work should have clear and explicit guidelines on how to repair and level sidewalks without splicing roots and damaging trees similar to the guidelines that DPR contractors use. The agency's free design consultation services should be mandatory instead of optional during the permitting process. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Our Trees & Sidewalks Program aims to preserve mature street trees while repairing sidewalk damage caused by tree root growth. Our contractors employ a number of repair techniques to avoid cutting or shaving of roots, including tree bed expansion, ramping, and curving. For property owners repairing their sidewalks independently, we provide written guidelines as well as free in-person design consultation services to private contractors if requested as part of the permitting process. In- person design consultations are not mandatory since many contractors do not require them and this would delay the permitting process due to staffing limitations. More information is available on our website: https://www.nycgovparks.org/services/forestry/ trees-sidewalks-program.

District 8 streets have become waste minefields that are difficult to navigate as the number of dog owners increases--as well as the number of careless dog owners. Canine waste has the potential to create health hazards for humans and other dogs.

Additionally, the 50th and 55th Street stations on New Utrecht Avenue on the D line, which is the closest subway stop to Maimonides Medical Center,a major trauma center and one of New York State's busiest birth centers,also requires accessibility upgrades. We urge NYCTA to prioritize these stations for accessibility improvements. These requests have been made for some time, and despite announcements of increased accessibility at other stations, these particular locations remain underserved. Governor Hochul's recent statements on expanding accessible stations are encouraging, but adding these critical locations to the list would greatly alleviate the accessibility challenges faced by our residents.

As the senior population evolves, centers have worked to modernize their offerings to meet the needs of a younger generation of seniors (ages 65-75) who are recently retired or have lost their jobs due to COVID-19. These seniors, many of whom are second-generation children of Holocaust survivors, require stimulating programs, counseling, and specialized services to enhance their lives. Additionally, our kosher residents rely on kosher centers, which are currently severely underfunded, and extra funding is needed to cover the increased cost of kosher food. The shifting demographics of the senior population also call for adjustments, for example, there is an increasing number of Polish-speaking seniors, requiring translation services.

| 1 | Expense | BKCB12 | Dept. of Health & Mental Hygiene | Animal and pest control requests including reducing rat and mosquito populations | Our district faces a persistent mosquito problem from spring through fall, with swarms throughout the streets. We urgently need increased mosquito spraying to address this issue. Small pools of standing water throughout the area serve as breeding grounds, making regular spraying essential to keep the mosquito population at manageable levels. Rats also contribute to property damage by gnawing on wires, insulation, and other building materials. The surge in the rat population, combined with the ongoing mosquito issue, creates a public health concern that requires urgent attention. Effective pest control strategies, including enhanced waste management and targeted rodent control measures, are essential to mitigate the impact of both pests on the community. We are getting a major increase of calls related to skunks in many areas of the district. Currently, DOH only deals with rats. We are requesting that DOH's responsibilities be expanded to include removal of larger rodents like skunks and possums. | This request has already been completed. DOHMH is happy to discuss further on ways to partner for information dissemination on our existing outreach for mosquito treatment activities.

| 1 | Expense | BKCB12 | Department of Transportation | Other traffic improvement requests | There are simply not enough HIQA inspectors to make an impact. HIQA's mission is to "increase the level of safety for both pedestrian and vehicle travel" and to "expedite the flow of traffic around construction zones." However, permit stipulations are frequently ignored, resulting in significant disruptions. Sometimes our district comes to a complete standstill because violators feel they have a right to close any street anytime they want. To address this issue, it is essential to increase the number of HIQA inspectors to ensure better enforcement and compliance. Often, DOT inspectors are not dispatched quickly enough to be effective, with many arriving only after construction is completed. More inspectors, and therefore faster response times, would be highly beneficial. Additionally, we request that a dedicated inspector be permanently assigned to the CB12 area and work in close coordination with the Community Board, which is often the first to identify permit violations. This request was denied last year, but the problem persists and requires a solution. | Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

In order to maintain this arena in a sanitary and groomed condition, a crew should be assigned to maintain this thoroughfare and prevent homeless people from sleeping on the benches. An additional crew cab truck is requested to transport them the length and breadth of this roadway. The Malls and trees must receive regular attention. Last year the response to this ask was that a larger expense budget would be required, the conditions have deteriorated since.

While we understand that funding for this request may not be feasible, we are now asking that HRA provide resources and personnel at our office, including a specialized scanning machine for clients to upload documents. ACCESS HRA is a valuable tool for those with internet and smartphone access, but for many residents of CB 12, who lack these resources, it becomes a significant barrier. These individuals are left with no choice but to travel to distant job centers, which is both inconvenient and burdensome. Since we are a city agency with the capacity to provide these services, HRA should be able to support our community by offering these essential resources locally. We have the space and capability to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our residents. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

Investing in targeted vocational training, along with NYOD English language classes, is a priority that could help raise the low incomes many families are currently experiencing. Our residents are intelligent and capable, and they would benefit from training focused on high-paying, in-demand skills, as well as improving their English proficiency. Currently, there are no Work Force 1 (WF1) centers nearby to serve our district, so providing funding to fill this gap would be a valuable investment. We are requesting that Work Force 1 collaborate with our local CBO, the Boro Park Jewish Community Council, and our local public libraries to provide these vital services to our community. | Agency supports and can accommodate. SBS can do targeted outreach to promote training opportunities in partnership with the Workforce1 Centers near the district: Industrial and Transportation Center Brooklyn (Brooklyn Army Terminal 140 58th Street, Building).

One straightforward way to ease the strain on our already inadequate storm water system is to ensure that the drains are clear and unobstructed. | Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

| 2 | Expense | BKCB12 | Department for the Aging | Other senior center program requests | Our community-based organizations are requesting an increase in funding for the SOS (Supporting Our Seniors) Initiative due to the growing number of younger seniors in the community. This initiative is specifically designed to assist seniors with navigating the process of applying for programs they are newly eligible for, such as Medicare, SSI, Social Security benefits, and other need-based programs like Medicaid and SNAP, which they may qualify for due to a reduction in income. Additionally, there is a pressing need for funding to support social events and activities that help seniors stay connected, engaged, and active within the community. This funding is crucial to ensure our seniors continue to receive the support and opportunities they need to thrive. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Need additional funding to meet this request. | Further study by the agency of this request is needed. | Support |
| 2 | Expense | BKCB12 | Department of Transportation | Other traffic improvement requests | Location: 60th Street and 13th Ave We request DOT upgrade street signs and markings as needed. Specifically, the traffic light on 60th St and 13th Ave. Drivers on 13th Ave heading south must turn left or right when they get to the 60th St intersection because 13th Ave. becomes a ONE-WAY street. Multiple vehicles go the wrong way southbound from 60th St to 59th St. Drivers need easily visible direction ON the traffic light; either a sign indicating only turns are allowed or lights with arrows turning right or left. The problem persists and can be fixed with a sign directed to the drivers who drive the wrong way. We asked the Boro Commissioner, per the response when this request was denied, to no avail. Community Board 12 wonders how many injuries or death are required for DOT to recognize the necessity of this. | Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. As mentioned previously, we have inspected this intersection and determined that no further signage is needed. | OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency does not support and cannot accommodate Explanation: As mentioned previously, we have inspected this intersection and determined that no further signage is needed. | Oppose |
| 2 | Expense | BKCB12 | Department of Parks & Recreation | Forestry services, including street tree maintenance | While PARKS follows a multi-year pruning cycle, many trees fall into disrepair long before that time frame. The number of incidents involving falling trees or branches has been increasing in our district, due to delays in the treatment and removal of diseased or dying trees. Recent storms have underscored the serious damage caused by falling trees, not only to personal and public property but also to downed power lines. These outages are both disruptive and costly. It should not be the burden of NYC residents to pay out-of-pocket for tree trimming. Our community is forced to make an unfair choice: either allow the trees to damage their property and disrupt their surroundings or spend money they may not have,and likely won't recoup,on trimming overgrown, invasive trees. This is further complicated by a permitting process that is often confusing and difficult to navigate. We are requesting additional resources to ensure a safer, more proactive approach to tree maintenance, with a specific focus on monitoring tree health and preventing falls during severe weather. Additionally, the current timeline for replacing trees is far too long. We request more resources to expedite this process. It is the city's responsibility to maintain its trees in a way that ensures the safety of its residents, preventing the risk of falling branches and other hazards. | Agency supports and can accommodate. We agree with the need for more funding and resources to increase the capacity of our Forestry Division and reduce the existing backlog of tree work. Parks’ block pruning program provides neighborhood-based, proactive tree maintenance by addressing a portion of the street trees in each CB every year. Parks inspects, then prunes all city-owned street trees above 4" in diameter on a routine 7- year cycle, which is an industry standard. The goals of block pruning are to reduce damage caused during storms, avoid blocking traffic signals, remove dead branches, improve tree health and structure, and encourage growth away from built infrastructure. If there are individual trees in need of pruning for public safety in between this cycle, we encourage anyone to submit a service request by locating the tree on the NYC Tree Map (and clicking on the “report a problem” tab), calling 311, or using our online tree service request system. Our inspectors will visit the tree and determine the appropriate action in accordance with our Tree Risk Management Program. If you think that any City tree requires work outside of these Parks maintenance programs, you can hire a qualified arborist to perform work on the tree. Anyone performing work on or within 50 feet of a City tree must obtain a Tree Work Permit from Parks before beginning work. Alternatively, for conditions that can be reached from the ground, Trees New York offers a course for anyone interested in becoming a Citizen Pruner. Citizen Pruners can remove dead, damaged, and diseased limbs, crossing branches, and limbs obstructing traffic signs, storefront signage, and windows. To legally prune street trees yourself, you must complete and pass Trees New York’s Citizen Pruner Course. Visit their website or email info@treesny.org for more information. As part of our new Neighborhood Tree Planting approach, we will be planting trees in every viable location across the city on a predictable 9-year cycle, prioritizing the most heat-vulnerable neighborhoods first. Find out when we will be planting each neighborhood on the Parks website: https://www.nycgovparks.org/trees/street-tree- planting.. | The agency has stated that they will try to accommodate this request with existing resources. OMB supports this. | Support |
| 2 | Expense | BKCB12 | Department of Sanitation | Provide more frequent garbage or recycling pick-up for schools and institutions | Public schools have daily trash collection. Private schools that serve ~100k children 3 meals daily year-round have twice weekly pickups. We request funding for sanitation employees to service daily trash collection for ALL schoolchildren in CB12. Enrollment in private schools outnumbers public school enrollment here. Daily school trach pickups must be implemented to remedy the quality of life and public health concerns of decaying foods. The FY22 (212202001E) response was that this is not a budget request, yet DSNY continues to deny this service claiming a lack of funding. Last year, FY23 (212202301E), this was not recommended for funding. We respectfully request reconsideration. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate. DSNY is not currently funded for additional pickup for private schools. | OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency supports but cannot accommodate Explanation: DSNY is not currently funded for additional pickup for private schools. | Support |
| 2 | Expense | BKCB12 | Police Department | Other NYPD programs requests | We request resources to remove vehicles that are parked on residential streets. We need increased use of, or a dedicated, NYPD tow truck to remove offending vehicles. Parking is scarce in our district, and illegally parked vehicles make it more so. Laws are ineffective if not enforced. These vehicles create unsafe conditions when large trucks park on dark, quiet streets. Large groups hanging out and lewd behavior are hidden by trucks on quiet streets, which creates a perfect scenario for people with bad intentions. Our residents deserve to park at night and walk at night without fear. We've been told to bring this to the attention of the precinct. We have, repeatedly. We ask for a top-down approach to resolve this issue. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Each Patrol Borough enforces traffic laws as needed as a result of traffic conditions and community complaints. | The Administration is currently reviewing this practice | Support |
| 3 | Expense | BKCB12 | Department of Transportation | Conduct traffic or parking studies | Location: 18th Avenue - 45th Street & 45th Street Traffic is very congested along 18th Ave., specifically from 45th Street to Ocean Parkway and especially during morning hours. 18th Ave., an already major thoroughfare, intersects with McDonald Ave. where the F line subway station is. This creates both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. We are requesting a thorough engineering study to determine the feasibility of certain measures to alleviate the strain. For instance, the possibility of adding an additional lane with interchangeable directions depending on the time of day (as is done at various locations in other cities) or adding turning lanes. | Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

| 3 | Expense | BKCB12 | Department of Parks & Recreation | Forestry services, including street tree maintenance | PARKS advised that the funds to repair sidewalks damaged by trees was increased. However, this increased funding has not yet resulted in actual repairs. We request PARKS repair the sidewalks damaged by trees as they said they would. Some of these areas are extremely dangerous for pedestrians and have been waiting for repairs for an exceptionally long time. | Agency supports and can accommodate. Due to limited resources, the Trees & Sidewalks Program is only able to repair the most severely damaged sites across all five boroughs. We agree that additional funding would increase the capacity of this program, but additional funding cannot be accommodated with current staffing levels. If you are a homeowner with time-sensitive needs for sidewalk repair, or you own a non-Tax Class 1 property that is not eligible for Parks’ Trees & Sidewalks Program, repairing the sidewalk through an independent contractor is often the quickest solution. Anyone performing work on or within 50 feet of a City tree must obtain a Tree Work Permit from Parks before beginning work. If you wish to file a claim against the City of New York for the cost of repairs you performed to your sidewalk because of damage that you believe was caused by a City tree, you may do so by filing a claim with the New York City Comptroller’s Office within 90 days of performing the repair. | The agency recommends funding this budget request, but at this time the availability of funds is uncertain. OMB supports the agency's position. | Support |
| 3 | Expense | BKCB12 | Department of Sanitation | Other garbage collection and recycling requests | We are requesting the return of a permanent cleaning officer to the district.

| 3 | Expense | BKCB12 | Police Department | Hire additional staff to address specific crimes (e.g. drug, gang-related, vice, etc.) | We are requesting an increase in officers to focus specifically on enforcement of mopeds, electric bikes, and electric assist bicycles on sidewalks and bike paths. With the explosion of moped share companies and other electric capable bikes comes the risk of pedestrian injury. These riders should be on the streets- but it is impossible to walk 3 blocks on city sidewalks without needing to dodge such vehicles. Another problem is the danger to cyclists on the Ocean Parkway bike lane. Bike lanes are meant for cyclists, e-bikes included, not mopeds. In this climate of transportation alternatives advocacy it is incumbent upon us to make the existing bike lanes safe. But, cyclists getting hit by mopeds is a too frequent situation. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Based on the latest budget, the NYPD has a specific budgeted headcount. The agency is working on filling vacancies in order to get to that headcount. | Due to fiscal constraints, the availability of funds is uncertain. | Support |
| 4 | Expense | BKCB12 | Department of Transportation | Conduct traffic or parking studies | 13th Avenue is the commercial heart of CB12, attracting shoppers from all over due to its unique ethnic vibe. On any given day, over 10,000 people pass through this bustling shopping strip. With parking at a premium, it can take up to an hour to travel the 23 blocks. The avenue hasn't seen any major redesign in over 21 years, and it's in urgent need of a comprehensive engineering study to identify solutions for the severe traffic and parking congestion, particularly during rush hours. We are requesting such a study to explore potential improvements, such as adding a reversible lane based on time of day, creating dedicated turning lanes, or possibly restricting parking at certain times to improve traffic flow. While we were informed that more data is needed before any decision can be made, we have yet to receive the necessary information to proceed. | Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

| 4 | Expense | BKCB12 | Department of Parks & Recreation | Enhance park safety through more security staff (police or parks enforcement) | We are requesting funding for additional Parks personnel to secure and lock all parks in our district after dusk like Gravesend Park due to many incidents happening at nighttime. Elected officials have invested significant funds to upgrade our parks into state-of-the-art facilities that provide safe, enjoyable outdoor spaces for children. However, the absence of proper security has led to undesirable activity in these parks, which discourages young people from engaging in positive, recreational activities. It is unfortunate that these substantial investments are at risk of being undermined due to security issues. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

| 1 | Capital | BKCB14 | Department of Environmental Protection | Evaluate a public location or property for green infrastructure, e.g. rain gardens, | There are several locations in the district that flood chronically in rainstorms. These locations have all been brought to DEP's attention. It is difficult to identify what and where speficially capaital projects are needed. They were apparently needed in the several locations where DEP had to make emergency repairs. We ask DEP to respond to the requests pending and ADVISE as to where upgrades and repairs are needed. During City of Yes for housing public hearing testimony, several community members and their council representatives decried flooding issues throughout the city. What does it say about DEPs capacity and coordination abilities that this was such a widespread concern and that it had to be expressed at a zoning hearing? Where is the DEP platform proactively upgrading infrastructure before we get to emergency repairs? There have been five recent emergency sewer repair jobs in the district just in the past months. These emergencies take months to fix and rely on other agencies and utilities for timely coordination. Furthermore, since they are "emergency" projects there is no Community Liaison assigned to keep the neighbors apprised. If this isn't indicative of the need for proactive maintenance, what is? DEP must provide solutions because property, businesses and public areas should not have to withstand chronic flooding. What capital projects would help in these various locations: bioswales, catch basins, permeable surface additions, holding tanks? | Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

| 1 | Capital | BKCB14 | Department of Parks & Recreation | New public parks | CD14 is about the lowest ranking community board citywide for access to public green space. There are few locations to devleop parks but they should be explored. A CB14 Fund for the City of New York Planning Fellow, made recommendations in 2017, some of which are no longer viable. The agency response to this is to ask local elected officials, which raises the overalll concern about agency capacity and coordination. DPR should have a capital budget capacity that is adequate to meet capital needs based on objective community assessments rather than the vagaries of overlapping, term-limited political borders. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

| 1 | Capital | BKCB14 | Housing Preservation & Development | More affordable housing for low and extremely low income households | In HPD's own Mayor's Management Report, it was stated in the capital budget section that, "HPD must work to restore lost affordable housing capacity." Affordable housing is dropping as a share of housing in CD 14. Low and extremely low-income housing is always the smallest percentage of new developments, and they tend to be smaller units such as studios and 1 bedroom, making low-income housing for families nearly nonexistent. There are also pressing needs for senior housing and supportive housing in the community. HPD reported a $9.25 billion 5-year capital fund but no additional capital was budgeted at the time due to headcount constraints prohibiting projects from moving forward. This must be remedied to ensure that the $250 million infrastructure funds to support housing and training technology, new supportive housing builds, capital preservation, and In Rem capital projects can be funded to meet community needs. In CB14 there are 800 housing code violations for every 1000 units. HPD must improve capacity and coordinate within and with other agencies to meet this urgent need. | Agency supports and can accommodate. HPD finances and supports different types of projects. Many projects are 100% affordable, and a portion of those units are ELI/VLI. Some projects contain a majority of ELI/VLI units. While HPD is breaking affordable housing production records, there is more work to be done. HPD will continue to maximize the use of subsidy and Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) to projects in our development pipeline throughout the Five Boroughs, including those serving Very Low Income (VLI) and Extremely Low Income (ELI) populations. | This item is not eligible for capital funding. | Support |

We have hesitated to prioritize capital dollars for a precinct house that should be replaced but as conditions worsen, there's a more urgent concern. There should not be a need for volunteer community assistance to maintain a precinct house. Work orders should be addressed quickly but at this point, many work orders are putting band aids on hemorrhages. NYPD should offer to buyout and help relocate Adapt Community Network in order to build on the block. In addition, the vacant lot on the block should be explored as a potential parking facility for the 70th Precinct. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

Since annexes are built to address overcrowding, an overcrowded annex boldly underscores the need for additional elementary school seats in the northern end of the District. The elementary schools listed above are all north of Avenue L. DOE and SCA need to provide a new needs assessment based on population changes and class size mandates. SCA no longer has the capacity to show up to CB Committee meetings to engage with community members and provide updates on ongoing capital projects or discuss building needs.

Seven locations have been submitted to DOT. 564 East 29th Street; 1781 Ocean Avenue/SE corner of Avenue M; 715 Ocean Parkway Service Road; Waldorf Court between East 17 and Dead End; Hillel Place and Kenilworth Place intersection; 464-476 East 16th Street; and East 16th Street between Avenue H and the dead end. DOT addresses these complaints by filling in the depressions with asphalt. Bus pads at the East 18th and Church Avenue station are in disrepair.

It is a project that would increase access to the parks for mobility limited individuals. Funding this project addresses several capacity and coordination goals. Last year the agency responded that this project is funded. That is not so. This is at least a $20 million project and in FY 25, $5million was allocated to the second phase. This project must be fully funded, supported and expedited. | Agency supports and can accommodate.

| 2 | Capital | BKCB14 | Housing Preservation & Development | Low income, supportive and senior housing | The need for senior housing, supportive housing and increasing low and extremely low income housing will likely see greater pressures depending on how City of Yes for housing passes. There are few mandates to create housing that generates less process and is dependent on support programs, such as vouchers. CB14 has lost housing at 30% AMI as a share of housing overall. There are very few public lots in CB14 but HPD must work creatively to identify potential sites for 100% affordable developments. There is one municipal parking lot, a DOE building on Avenue M and Ocean Avenue and our libraries are one and two story buildings. These sites should be explored and HPD should be able to explain the reasons if they are not feasible for truly affordable housing projects. | Agency supports and can accommodate. HPD is happy to partner with other agencies that have public land to consider development projects to advance affordable housing. Our ability to consider these projects hinges on our partner agencies' willingness and capacity to transfer these sites for redevelopment. HPD advises CB14 to engage with the agencies that own the properties mentioned in this budget request on their future plans for the site. Through Executive Order 43 of 2024 (Prioritizing Housing Production and Accelerating the Production of Housing on City Sites) the City convened a task force to review all land under City ownership and evaluate for potential housing production.

Construction was set to begin in 2013. It did not and the site was lost to a market rate housing development. A $1 million scoping study to asses the feasibility of building a new precinct house on site acknowledges the locational challenges that the current site presents.

This past year, we invested $1623 million in the youth safety and success initiative, for you youth in and transitioning out of foster care and services to help prevent justice involvement. This initiative expands 4 programs and creates one new one: Fair Futures: This first-of-its-kind program already serves more than 4,000 young people by connecting youth in foster care and the juvenile justice system between the ages of 11-26 with tutoring and coaching to build life skills, set academic and career goals and more. This investment will allow an additional 2,000 youth to be served. College Choice: Established in 2022, this program offers college tuition, room and board assistance, individualized support and stipends for young people in foster care. The program had more than 400 students in the fall of 2024 and with this funding can serve over 500 students. Career Choice/Workforce Ready: This new program builds off the success of College Choice and connects young people in foster care who do not go to a two or four-year college but are participating in vocational and job readiness training with financial and social support as vocational and job readiness training. This funding will also allow for an expansion to DYCD’s Advance and Earn program. (40 slots which equate to 80 youth via expansion of DYCD’s Advance and Earn Program & 232 stipends for eligible youth) • Girls JustUs: A highly-successful gender- responsive juvenile justice diversion program that currently operates in Brooklyn will now be expanded to Queens and the Bronx. (24 additional girls will be served via this expansion) • Assertive Community Engagement and Success (ACES): A program that provides evidence-based services to high-risk youth who have been involved with the justice system. The program provides social pathways away from gang and gun violence to young people between the ages of 16-24.

Interactions between shelter residents and residents of the adjacent supportive housing facility have not been positive for the clients or the community. The Community Advisory Board has not reassured residents. The impacts of this shelter are far worse than anticipated and funding to ensure adequate support, programing and safety is urgently needed. There is now another men's shelter in the district and the contract is held by a Staten Island organization with no track record running such a shelter. There was only a four day notification and no word on when the shelter will be at full census. There is reasonable concern that the clients within are not being well-served. There is very little reason to be confident that the city is awarding performance and merit-based contracts. Homelessness has been a crises for a long time.

Enforcement on illegal curb cuts and parking pads would move the city toward carbon neutrality. Rather than using the tools we have, there is a new zoning text amendment. Short term rentals are not enforced.

About 280,000 have major disorders such as schizophrenia. Forty percent of those in city shelters and 53% of those in city jails experience mental illness. From March to December of 2020, more than 17,000 calls were made for mental health assistance. This was 85 times more than the same period in 2019. The city must continue to expand mobile crises teams, and intensive mobile teams as well as HOMESTAT outreach to unsheltered homeless individuals experiencing mental illness. A Support and Connection Center should be provided in Brooklyn. | This request has already been completed. DOHMH defers to the Mayor's Office of Operations and Department of Social Services on HomeStat.

| 1 | Expense | BKCB14 | Department of Transportation | Other expense budget request for DOT | New York City must recognize ownership of the Plaza. The clearest solution we see is for Newkirk Plaza to become a formal participant in the DOT's Pedestrian Plaza Program. The City's inability to determine jurisdiction over Newkirk Plaza has left several chronic issues unresolved, including a serious rodent infestation, sanitation maintenance concerns, disrepair of the brick plaza surface, and growing street homelessness challenges. The New York City Police Department, the Department of Sanitation, the Department of Buildings, and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, have all been called upon to deal with myriad issues on the Plaza. Many community stakeholders, including business owners, civic and community-based organizations, and local government entities, continue to struggle | Agency does not support but can address the need alternatively. DOT is continuing to engage the MTA on this and will share updates as we have them. | Sidewalks are the responsibility of the adjacent property owner.

| 1 | Expense | BKCB14 | Department of Parks & Recreation | Forestry services, including street tree maintenance | Flatbush and Midwood boast 11,237 street trees, including 121 different species according to DPR's census. Argyle Road is considered the "leafiest" in Brooklyn. A more robust pruning cycle is still necessary. Requests for emergency pruning and fallen branches are increasing in the District. Fallen limbs, branches and entire trees too often were reported for pruning but not addressed. Paying claims instead of service is poor policy. DPR needs a better funded and more robust contracting practice in addition to an increase in the budget to bring the work in house. | Agency supports and can accommodate. Funding for our block pruning program was restored to pre-COVID levels, and our 7-year pruning cycle matches industry standards. Any individual trees that need attention for public safety reasons should be reported by locating the tree on the NYC Tree Map (and clicking on the “report a problem” tab), calling 311, or using our online tree service request system. Our inspectors will visit the tree and determine the appropriate action in accordance with our Tree Risk Management Program. We agree with the need to increase staff and capacity to address our existing backlog of tree work. NYC Parks has made strides to increase its in-house tree work capacity through the Climber & Pruner Training Program, an in-house training program that connects current entry-level Parks employees with the training to become Climber & Pruners. With this program, Parks expects to add 15-20 new Climber & Pruners to the workforce every 15 months to help mitigate recruitment and hiring challenges. | The agency will try to accommodate this issue within existing resources.

| 1 | Expense | BKCB14 | Department of Sanitation | Other cleaning requests | Please restore MLP in the baseline budget. There are 5 overlapping council members in CD14. Those overlaps vary in size and the council members vary in their willingness to give council member allocations back to city agencies, and that's understandable. These funds are supposed to supplement, not supplant agency responsibility. There are 1200 road segments in CD 14. Given the number of dead ends, overpasses, and road bridges, cleaning is a persistent need. The evisceration of MLP was ill advised. Asking council members to refund DSNY with Clean NYC or reso funds does not ensure equal distribution of services across the district and is financially inefficient. Baseline services should come from the baseline budget. Restore full funding for MLP so the district can be cleaned efficiently and equitably. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate. DSNY is not currently funded for additional MLP trucks. | Due to fiscal constraints, the availability of funds is uncertain. | Support |

Cure violence programs depend on significant alternatives. DYCD is poised to support new models of curing violence and expanding opportunities for future leaders.

| 1 | Expense | BKCB14 | Housing Preservation & Development | Provide more housing for extremely low and low income households | Ensuring that there is affordable housing for CD14's community members at lower strata of the AMI, for seniors and those in need of supportive housing rely on HPD fully implementing Housing Our Neighbors and all components of the Housing Blueprint plan including fighting tenant harassment. These programs seem to be falling short. Our community is left vulnerable to HPD's inability to increase agency headcount and thus capacity. Interagency coordination should be put into place such that DOB will not issue permits in buildings with HPD violations unless needed to address those very violations. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate. HPD's total headcount has increased by by 3.7% from December 2020 to December 2024. While certain divisions were impacted due to staffing shortrages at the start of the pandemic, we are continuing to provide services to all New Yorkers and have worked hard to increase our headcount. We continue to protect tenants through our Code Enforcement and Housing Litigation teams; and have had record breaking years in affordable housing construction/preservation.

Overall, 29% of households are severely rent burdened. This is down from a recent high of 35%. For low-income households, 44% are severely rent burdened. The share of units available at 30% AMI has decreased again. When we say that we need affordable housing, not just housing, this is the basis. The District ranks 3rd in Brooklyn and is in the top 10 citywide in the percent of renter households that are severely overcrowded. These are pressures that lend themselves to homelessness and continued expansion of prevention programs is warranted. Emergency rental assistance, one-shot deals, FEPS, CityFEPs, and the HOMEBASE program must be fully funded and the capacity of HRA to provide outreach and technical assistance must be increased. Greater coordination between programs such as WeCare to address housing vulnerabilities related to mental health needs and further support for those transition into permanent housing are needed as well. | This request has already been completed.

The Community Board defers to the Police Precinct to assign additional crossing guards to new locations. It is our understanding that these positions are difficult to fill. Therefore, we request that the city demonstrates that it cares about student safety by either increasing pay to meet the labor pool or by posting NYPD or Traffic officers to augment the crossing guard labor pool as it stands. Funding should also cover substitute crossing guards so that intersections are not without this important safety measure when a crossing guard is out for any period of time. In the past NYPD would fill a vacant position with a police officer until the crossing guard returned or the spot was filled. This practice should be reinstituted. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Based on the latest budget, the NYPD has a specific budgeted headcount.

| 2 | Expense | BKCB14 | Department of Homeless Services | Expand street outreach | Over the years, we have been told by the Department of Homeless Services that it takes an average of 250 encounters with unsheltered individuals to convince them to accept services. This suggests that services offered are not in line with the needs of those living unsheltered. More robust teams with specialized services including those to address addictions, and mental health issues must augment street outreach. Innovative approaches such as the SHAP program must be expanded in Brooklyn. This program recruits volunteers, many of whom are formally "street homeless" persons and thus, more often trusted messengers for street outreach and their success rate is outstanding. In their second year, of 454 encounters, they placed 226 individuals. The increased capacity afforded to Breaking Ground last year should be coordinated with innovative outreach strategies that are already out there! For those on the street, mobile hygiene and health services should be expanded both for the immediate needs of unsheltered people and for the investment in building trust these services promote. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate. DHS collaborates closely with other City Agencies, local community-based organizations (CBOs), and our non-profit contracted providers to develop innovative strategies and strengthen effective existing services. While identifying and expanding best practices is a key goal, it is equally essential to recognize the importance of building trust with unsheltered clients.

Too many complaints are closed out due to lack of access while unpermitted work continues to the point of completion. Better timing of inspections, additional attempts and more detailed follow ups would assist in the ability to enforcement myriad violations. | Agency does not support but can address the need alternatively. The department continues to hire and train new staff with existing budget. Note, if complaints are closed due to lack of access, it means an inspector visited the site and access was not granted. There are several reasons access was not granted - no one present to grant access to the premises or property owner refuses to grant access either way the Inspector leaves a notice for property owner to call for an inspection.

A review of truck routes is a task that DOT has started and stopped over the years. In CD 14 Caton Avenue to Linden Blvd is a truck route. Just south of Caton is Church Avenue - also a truck route. Traffic is gridlocked on Caton nearly endlessly in both directions. There is an express bus lane has been added to Church Avenue, eliminating truck delivery windows. These conditions have pushed more traffic onto sidestreets. The proliferation of 53' trucks on our streets is dangerous testement to the city's inability to coordinate interagency issues.

This is a failed policy and while it's in these budget priorities, it might not be a good idea to continue funding a failed policy. This one needs a paradigm shift that is balanced with fair permitting for vendors. That would take interagency coordination.

It took another year for DOT lawyers and MTA lawyers to compose an agreement. It has now taken another year for MTA to conduct the necessary engineering study prior to implementing the agreement. It's a slap in the face of the community that the MTA is simultaneously trying to engage in support of the IBX plan. Additionally, MTA would not let a local CBO improve the Newkirk Plaza station house with a mural because they claimed that station houses have to be identifiable as such. However, the station house is filthy and covered in graffiti - why would this be considered more identifiable.

This board is loathe to ask for more enforcement when DSNY demonstrates an inability to aim violations at the actual offender. DSNY is failing to enforce vendor rules but then penalizes brick and morter businesses by serving violations for the litter that vendors left behind. DSNY has not restored MLP and then issues violations to homeowners who are victims of illegal drop offs. DSNY went on a ticket writing blitz and wrote tickets for early set out at 7:30 on Fridays in a Jewish Orthodox community. We don't want more enforcment, we want appropriately targeted enforcement. An increase in cameras at locations where chronic drop offs occur, is a good place to start. An increase in stakeouts, would be helpful.

| 5 | Capital | BKCB15 | Police Department | Add NYPD parking facilities | Currently, Brooklyn has only one police Tow Pound in Northern Brooklyn and it's often at full capacity. This is a growing problem for our community. Additional car lifts (stackers) at the existing Tow Pound would increase holding capacity and permit more vehicles to be stored as an immediate interim measure. The current pound being located across the borough results in long travel times. It limits the turnaround time resulting in diminished productivity per work shift for Row Tow operators serving Southern Brooklyn. Ideally, we would like the short-term addition of car lifts at the existing Tow Pound until a new pound can be sited and constructed in Southern Brooklyn to expedite Row Tow operations enhancing their capacity and increasing their productivity. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

More money needs to be allocated to provide better forestry services to our community. New trees should be planted within two-three planting cycles; waiting 4 or 5 years is a ridiculously long time. Tree pruning can take 7-10 years, allowing overgrown and dead branches to become a public safety hazard. We need to expedite this process. Adequately funding this division with additional trained staff and equipment would streamline this vital function. | Agency supports and can accommodate. While our forestry contract funding has been restored to pre-pandemic levels, we agree that additional funding would increase the capacity of our Forestry Division and reduce the existing backlog of tree work. NYC Parks has made strides to increase its in- house tree work capacity through the Climber & Pruner Training Program, an in-house training program that connects current entry-level Parks employees with the training to become Climber & Pruners. With this program, Parks expects to add 15-20 new Climber & Pruners to the workforce every 15 months to help mitigate recruitment and hiring challenges. | The agency has stated that they will try to accommodate this request with existing resources.

These storefronts either turnover rapidly, or sit vacant warehoused without attracting new businesses or new investment in the community. Empty storefronts don't entice consumers. They reduce foot traffic to the corridors. Things have gone from bad to worse. The City needs to offer indepedent small business owners more incentives and assistance in creating businesses, or offer property owners some incentives to attract and retain businesses. Outrageous rents are keeping many of our small commercial areas bleak and depressed. | Agency supports and can accommodate. SBS has made investments in commercial corridors in the district through a variety of grants. SBS has supported local commercial revitalization through the Kings Highway BID, which received Small BID Grants this Fiscal Year and in FY24 and a Commercial District Lighting grant in FY24. This Fiscal Year, SBS also provided the Brooklyn Alliance, who previously deployed select interventions along the commercial corridors in the district through an Avenue NYC grant SBS provided, a Merchant Organizing grant to support commercial districts and merchant organizing in the community. SBS will continue to promote grant programs when available and encourage the community boards to share information about our grant programs with local non-profits. While commercial rents are set by private commercial property-owners and the city does not have an ability to regulate commercial rents, SBS is proud to deliver up to 40 hours of pro-bono Commercial Lease Assistance Program.

Parks’ block pruning program provides neighborhood-based, proactive tree maintenance by addressing a portion of the street trees in each CB every year. Parks inspects, then prunes all city-owned street trees above 4"" in diameter on a routine 7-year cycle, which is an industry standard. The goals of block pruning are to reduce damage caused during storms, avoid blocking traffic signals, remove dead branches, improve tree health and structure, and encourage growth away from built infrastructure. If there are individual trees in need of pruning for public safety in between this cycle, we encourage anyone to submit a service request by locating the tree on the NYC Tree Map (and clicking on the “report a problem” tab), calling 311, or using our online tree service request system. Our inspectors will visit the tree and determine the appropriate action in accordance with our Tree Risk Management Program. If you think that any City tree requires work outside of these Parks maintenance programs, you can hire a qualified arborist to perform work on the tree. Anyone performing work on or within 50 feet of a City tree must obtain a Tree Work Permit from Parks before beginning work. Alternatively, for conditions that can be reached from the ground, Trees New York offers a course for anyone interested in becoming a Citizen Pruner. Citizen Pruners can remove dead, damaged, and diseased limbs, crossing branches, and limbs obstructing traffic signs, storefront signage, and windows. To legally prune street trees yourself, you must complete and pass Trees New York’s Citizen Pruner Course. Visit their website or email info@treesny.org for more information.

| 1 | Capital | QCB4 | Department of Education | Early Childhood Services | Our community along with a steadily growing population of newcomers faces an urgent need for affordable or free early childhood education programs, particularly 3K and Pre-K. Ensuring that every child begins their educational journey on the right path is essential for building a strong and equitable foundation for the future. Education remains one of the most effective tools for breaking the cycle of poverty. Providing access to early learning opportunities plays a critical role in leveling the playing field for children from families with limited financial means. Research consistently shows that children who participate in 3K and Pre-K programs develop stronger cognitive, social, and emotional coping skills; vital abilities that prepare them for lifelong learning and academic success. Beyond academics, these programs nurture curiosity, confidence, and independence, equipping children with the emotional and practical tools needed to thrive as they enter grade school and beyond. Establishing affordable or free early childhood education options within our district would help close the socio-economic gap, promote equity, and empower families by giving our youngest residents the opportunities they deserve.

Research indicates that many young people in our community are struggling with mental health challenges, often caused by social isolation or a lack of structured community engagement. With many parents working long hours and unable to spend sufficient time with their children, the absence of emotional and social support has become a growing concern. A dedicated youth community center would serve as a second home welcoming environment where young individuals can meet peers, share experiences, and access mentorship and guidance.

| 1 | Capital | QCB4 | Housing Preservation & Development | Housing for Extremely Low and Low Income Households | Community Board 4 has seen a very steady influx of new residents in the last few years and will only continue to grow at a steady pace. The lack of affordable housing (both extremely low, low, and medium income) specifically in the Elmhurst area is encouraging "shacking up" in which large families are living out of single rooms and illegally converted basements. Requesting (1) an acknowledgement that the current MIH program is inadequate and requires drastic revision to address local housing needs and (2) in absence of MIH revision, affordable housing with an MIH option 3 be required for our district. As new residential buildings are built, we request that any accompany zoning changes require the mapping of MIH Option 3 (units at or less than 40% AMI; $1,458/monthly for a two- bedroom). The median annual household income for families in Elmhurst/Corona is $70,252, meaning that for rented units to be truly affordable they must be offered at a rate of $1,756 per month (up to 30% of monthly household income) to prevent rent burden. MIH Option 1 (60% AMI; 3-person family, $2,187/monthly for a two-bedroom) and Option 2 (80% AMI; 3-person family, $2,916/monthly for a two-bedroom) do not provide genuinely affordable housing options for 43.2% of Elmhurst/Corona residents who earn well below the median household income of $70,252. As of 2023, approximately 14.9% of residents earned a household income between $40,001 to $60,000, 17.5% earned between $20,001 to $40,000, and 10.8% earned up to $20,000 annually. As a result of inadequate affordable housing options that fail to directly serve our most economically insecure residents, 62% of the total resident population are "rent burdened" (more than 30% of household income spent on rent) and 31.1% of residents are "severely rent burdened" (more than 50% of household income spent on rent). HPD must mobilize their available tools to support the construction of affordable housing, which is housing at 40% AMI for the district. | Agency supports and can accommodate. HPD finances and supports different types of projects. Many projects are 100% affordable, and a portion of those units are ELI/VLI. Some projects contain a majority of ELI/VLI units.

HPD will continue to maximize the use of subsidy and Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) to projects in our development pipeline throughout the Five Boroughs, including those serving Very Low Income (VLI) and Extremely Low Income (ELI) populations. HPD will continue to fund the construction of supportive housing from the development pipeline to maximize available resources. | This is not a budget request. | Support |

CB4 is especially concerned that the challenging environment on the medians, particularly on the long section of Queens Blvd built over the subway structure, be thoroughly considered in designing the new plantings planned for the medians. Landscape architects or the Parks Dept's Horticulture and Forestry divisions (or all the above) should be thoroughly involved in choosing the trees and plantings along the medians. Longterm maintenance implications must be a primary consideration in the redesign. | Agency supports and can accommodate. As noted DOT has the segment planned for a capital reconstruction project.

| 2 | Capital | QCB4 | Department of Parks & Recreation | Newtown Playground MPPA | Newtown Playground recently underwent a partial upgrade, and has since seen substantial use, and improved visitation since its opening. A key element of the park is to maintain the reparation of the comfort station. The main concern however is that the MPPA should be upgraded to meet current standards and retrofitted with flooding mitigation measures as it was heavily damaged during this last hurricane season. The park (formerly the Old Newtown Cemetery) should have a monument to memorialize its internments and past similar to the Olde Town of Flushing Burial Ground memorial erected in 2021. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

This includes using HUD definition of extremely low- income and low-income family housing, affordable senior housing, and permanent supportive housing with on-site services for residents with special needs and people exiting homelessness. All units must be rented at levels below roughly $1,650/month , the rent band where the NYC Housing and Vacancy Survey shows vacancy below 1% , because that is the only band that actually not only relieves overcrowding, illegal basement living, and rent burdens above 50% of income for current CD4 residents, it actually increases the vacancy rate of the district and the city. | Agency supports and can accommodate.

| 3 | Capital | QCB4 | MTA / NYC Transit | Reopen Elmhurst and Corona LIRR Stations | Location: LIRR Port Washington Line - Broadway & National St First, we do, of course, understand that this is in fact an LIRR request, not NYCT. However, NYCT is our only means to direct this budget request to the people who assemble the MTA capital plan. Thank you for your understanding and your assistance on this. The Elmhurst station on the LIRR Port Washington line was closed in 1985 as a cost-savings during a slow economic period; the Corona Station was closed in 1964 for similar reasons. These were short-sighted decisions, essentially pessimistic about the future of New York City and Queens. We believe that closing these stations was--and remains--a disservice to the people of our communities. The subways serving our neighborhoods are heavily used and overcrowded, and for the most part provide only local service. We have seen and admired the MTA's far-sighted, visionary decision to use existing Rights-of-Way to provide additional service to the public by establishing new stations in the East Bronx and here in Queens along the new IBX route. The former Corona and Elmhurst Stations are another example of an existing resource not being taken advantage of. Queens CBs 3 and 4 represent a nearby customer base of well over 300,000 people. The population density around both stations has only grown over the years since these stations were closed, as have the transportation needs of our community, 60% of whose households do not own a car. As the potential customer base for the LIRR has grown, the MTA's institution of the CityTicket program for LIRR has made it even easier for NYC residents to avail themselves of LIRR service, which would cut travel times to midtown by well over 50% from both stations. We urge the MTA to expedite the design and engineering project (previously funded) for the Elmhurst Station and to include as soon as possible in its capital plan construction funding for Elmhurst Station and engineering and design funds for Corona. | Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

We request the installation of bus shelters there, and, if possible, at least one additional 3- person bench at each.

The 4 corners of the intersection of Broadway, Grand Ave, and Queens Blvd all have bus stops on them, but only two have shelters. Shelters or, at a minimum, benches, should be provided. The bus system redesign changes have left several bus shelters in place at discontinued stops. The e/b Q32/33 shelter at Roosevelt Ave & 76th St and the w/b Q58 shelter at Corona Ave & 104th St are developing homeless encampment problems. They might be relocated to meet one of our needs for new shelters. We are compiling a list of other discontinued shelters for discussion with DOT.

| CS | Capital | QCB4 | Department of Parks & Recreation | Frank O' Connor Reconstruction | Frank O' Connor Playground's adjacency to Elmhurst Hospital puts this park in the heart of a very busy corridor that sees a substantial amount of foot traffic and park goers. However, issues are present with the comfort stations, overall lack of shrubbery, and upgrading of the outdated playground equipment. More over, a park this close to a hospital should encourage healthy lifestyles. The current adult exercise equipment is minimal at best, and exercise within the park is often discouraging to park goers due to gang and homeless activity.

| 3 | Expense | QCB4 | Department of Parks & Recreation | Funding For Tree Pruning - Shorter Cycle | There is a backlog of requests for tree pruning. The current pruning cycle is far too long especially now that this funding has been stifled due to the ongoing epidemic. Funding is needed to shorten this cycle, and to restore pruner and climber positions to the DPR. A shorter year pruning cycle will produce stronger, healthier, and better looking trees. A strong maintenance program is needed to care for existing and future trees. | Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. Funding for our block pruning program was restored to pre- COVID levels, and our 7-year pruning cycle matches industry standards. Any individual trees that need attention for public safety reasons should be reported by locating the tree on the NYC Tree Map (and clicking on the “report a problem” tab), calling 311, or using our online tree service request system. Our inspectors will visit the tree and determine the appropriate action in accordance with our Tree Risk Management Program. We agree with the need to increase staff and capacity to address our existing backlog of tree work, but that funding cannot be determined at this time.

Funding is needed to replace uprooted trees, for the removal and replacement of dead trees, for the removal of street tree stumps and for emergency pruning of dangerous street tree conditions. Hurricane Irene uprooted numerous additional trees. Consideration for new plantings should include: Grand Avenue, Metropolitan Avenue, Myrtle Avenue, Fresh Pond Road and Wyckoff Avenue. CB5Q has, for decades, pushed for new street tree plantings, with much success. Street trees reduce air pollution and beautify city streets. Asthma and other respiratory problems are a great concern. | Agency supports and can accommodate. As part of our new Neighborhood Tree Planting approach, we will be planting trees in every viable location across the city on a predictable 9-year cycle, prioritizing the most heat-vulnerable neighborhoods first. Find out when we will be planting each neighborhood on the Parks website: https://www.nycgovparks.org/trees/street-tree- planting. As part of our Neighborhood Tree Planting approach, dead trees and stumps will be removed and replaced with new trees where feasible. Parks’ block pruning program provides neighborhood-based, proactive tree maintenance by addressing a portion of the street trees in each CB every year. Parks inspects, then prunes all city-owned street trees above 4"" in diameter on a routine 7-year cycle, which is an industry standard. The goals of block pruning are to reduce damage caused during storms, avoid blocking traffic signals, remove dead branches, improve tree health and structure, and encourage growth away from built infrastructure. If there are individual trees in need of pruning for public safety in between this cycle, we encourage anyone to submit a service request by locating the tree on the NYC Tree Map (and clicking on the “report a problem” tab), calling 311, or using our online tree service request system. Our inspectors will visit the tree and determine the appropriate action in accordance with our Tree Risk Management Program. Forestry contract funding has been restored to pre-COVID levels.

| 3 | Expense | QCB13 | Department of Parks & Recreation | Forestry services, including street tree maintenance | As "Climate Change" has increased the severity of storms, it has also increased the anxiety of our residents with swinging trees and tree branches. QCB13 receives a large number of calls with concern about damaged trees and overhanging tree branches. The contract for tree pruning needs to be increased before there is excessive property damage or personal injury. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Parks’ block pruning program provides neighborhood-based, proactive tree maintenance by addressing a portion of the street trees in each CB every year. Parks inspects, then prunes all city-owned street trees above 4"" in diameter on a routine 7-year cycle, which is an industry standard. The goals of block pruning are to reduce damage caused during storms, avoid blocking traffic signals, remove dead branches, improve tree health and structure, and encourage growth away from built infrastructure. If there are individual trees in need of pruning for public safety in between this cycle, we encourage anyone to submit a service request by locating the tree on the NYC Tree Map (and clicking on the “report a problem” tab), calling 311, or using our online tree service request system. Our inspectors will visit the tree and determine the appropriate action in accordance with our Tree Risk Management Program. If you think that any City tree requires work outside of these Parks maintenance programs, you can hire a qualified arborist to perform work on the tree. Anyone performing work on or within 50 feet of a City tree must obtain a Tree Work Permit from Parks before beginning work. Alternatively, Trees New York offers a course for anyone interested in becoming a Citizen Pruner. Citizen Pruners can remove dead, damaged, and diseased limbs, crossing branches, and limbs obstructing traffic signs, storefront signage, and windows. To legally prune street trees yourself, you must complete and pass Trees New York’s Citizen Pruner Course. Visit their website or email info@treesny.org for more information. We agree with the need for more funding and resources to increase the capacity of our Forestry Division and reduce the existing backlog of tree work, but that funding cannot be determined at this time. | The agency recommends funding this budget request, but at this time the availability of funds is uncertain.

| 1 | Capital | SICB3 | Department of Environmental Protection | Sewer & Drainage Map | The first step in initiating any sewer project is to amend the Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) drainage map. The following areas must be included: Kreischer Street, Androvette Street, Storer Avenue, Carlin Avenue, Winant Place, and several streets south of Hylan Boulevard between Chelsea Street and Sprague Avenue. The South Shore continues to experience worsening flooding due to insufficient stormwater management. Variations of existing stormwater practices , such as the Bluebelt program , have proven to be effective and cost-saving solutions. The utilization of existing ponds, natural streams, and wetlands must be incorporated into future designs. This area includes a mix of residential and thriving business properties, making proper stormwater planning essential to protect homes, support commerce, and reduce chronic flooding. | Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

| 1 | Capital | SICB3 | Department of Transportation | Arthur Kill Widening Phase III | Location: Arthur Kill Road - West Service Road & Main Street HWR1140C -Fund the reconstruction and widening of Arthur Kill Road between West Service Road (WSE) and Main Street (Phase III). This project was previously removed following the FY23 OMB response that it could not be funded, but current conditions now make it more critical than ever. Ongoing, large-scale commercial and industrial development along Arthur Kill Road has dramatically increased traffic congestion, raised safety concerns, and accelerated roadway deterioration. This corridor serves as a key connector for manufacturing zones in Rossville, Charleston, and Richmond Valley, supporting both local commerce and regional freight movement. With the unprecedented volume of new construction and expanded commercial activity, the existing roadway infrastructure is no longer sufficient. Reconstructing and widening Arthur Kill Road is essential to maintaining safe traffic flow, supporting continued economic growth, and ensuring the area remains functional for residents, workers, and businesses. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

| 1 | Capital | SICB3 | Police Department | Provide a new NYPD facility, such as a new precinct house or sub-precinct | The 123rd Precinct is over 100 years old and no longer meets the operational or community needs of Staten Island's South Shore. Since its construction, the population within its boundaries has quadrupled, yet the facility has never been expanded. The building is severely overcrowded, with no adequate parking, workspace, or areas for officer wellness. These conditions contribute to high turnover and hinder effective policing. A modern precinct is essential to support public safety and strengthen community trust. The closed Outerbridge Park & Ride site offers an ideal location for a new facility. The City should pursue an agreement with NYS DOT to repurpose this property, providing officers and the public with a safe, functional, and welcoming space that reflects the needs of today's growing community. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Due to ongoing budget cuts, the NYPD has had significant limitations in its ability to execute capital projects. While this request has been reviewed, current funding for this project is unavailable at this time. | Due to fiscal constraints, the availability of funds is uncertain. | Support |
| 2 | Capital | SICB3 | Department of Environmental Protection | Other capital budget request for DEP | A pump station is urgently needed in the Charleston/Richmond Valley area because of the existing topography and the required minimum sewer grades. As the South Shore continues to experience rapid commercial and residential growth, adequate sewer infrastructure is essential to support future development, protect existing investments, and prevent flooding.

| 1 | Expense | SICB3 | Department for the Aging | Allocate funds for outreach services to homebound older adults and for programs that | The South Shore's growing senior population would greatly benefit from expanded programs and services that allow older adults to remain independent and engaged in their communities. Increased funding for senior centers is essential to support aging residents through meal and nutrition programs, health and wellness initiatives, counseling, and social and recreational activities. Programs that help older adults age safely in place , while staying connected to family, neighbors, and community life , are critical to maintaining quality of life and reducing isolation among Staten Island's seniors. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate. NYC Aging will need additional funding for this. | Further study by the agency of this request is needed. | Support |
| 1 | Expense | SICB3 | Department of Parks & Recreation | Street Tree Maintenance | Despite repeated requests, funding for Street Tree Maintenance Programs remains insufficient, and conditions worsen each year. A proactive, real- time strategy is needed for storm-related downed tree removal, stump removal, and sidewalk repairs caused by root damage. Current maintenance practices are reactive and inadequate, creating hazardous conditions for residents and exposing the City to costly liability claims. Establishing a condition-based maintenance program would improve safety, reduce long-term costs, and ensure a more resilient urban environment. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate. We agree that additional funding would increase the capacity of our Forestry Division. Parks' forestry maintenance is both proactive (through our neighborhood-based block pruning program) and reactive (through responding to storms and service requests and taking appropriate action according to our Tree Risk Management approach). Through our Neighborhood Tree Planting approach, we will also be removing dead trees and stumps and replacing them with new trees where feasible. Due to limited resources, our Trees & Sidewalks Program is only able to repair the most severely damaged sites across all five boroughs. We agree that additional funding would increase the capacity of our Trees & Sidewalks Program. | The agency recommends funding this budget request, but at this time the availability of funds is uncertain.

| 1 | Expense | SICB3 | Department of Sanitation | Increase enforcement of illegal dumping laws | Illegal dumping remains an ongoing challenge on Staten Island's South Shore and requires sustained, proactive enforcement. Increased funding is needed to expand the use of surveillance cameras in known dumping locations, a strategy that has proven effective in deterring repeat offenders and supporting successful enforcement actions. Consistent monitoring and stronger penalties will help protect our communities, preserve public spaces, and reduce the financial and environmental costs of illegal dumping. | Agency supports but cannot accommodate.
