Register of Community Board Budget Requests

This dataset reports each of the projects and programs requested by the City’s 59 community boards. The Register is the charter mandated product of a dynamic and cyclical budget process for the 59 community boards. The community boards consult with agencies on the capital and expense needs of the district. After consulting, each community board develops and votes separate priorities for up to 40 capital and 25 expense budget requests which the agencies review and respond to in the Register of Community Board Requests for the Preliminary Budget in January. The Mayor’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) reviews these same budget requests and updates the responses for the Executive and Adopted Budgets. This dataset is updated three times per year after publication of the Preliminary, Executive and Adopted Budget, usually in January, April and June respectively.

Request
Renovate exterior building component
Explanation
PS 46 needs a facelift. The inequity in basic maintenance between PS 46 and PS 20 is disappointing. They are separated by just 2 blocks but are worlds apart. At PS 46 there is no grass or landscaping other than one sad rosebush. The fence was left half painted, and the path along the side of the school between Clermont and Adelphi floods whenever it rains, to the point of being impassable. The street in front of the school on Adelphi is always littered with garbage, and the recreation courtyard looks like a prison yard with harsh fencing, drab colors, and little consideration of amenities for enrichment.

OMB supports the agency's position as follows: The agency will accommodate this issue within existing resources.

Renovate exterior building component
Explanation
PS 307 needs a facelift. There is trash and construction debris everywhere which encourages more dumping and litter, and less community stewardship. The areas near/around Farragut NYCHA housing deserve to be maintained in the same manner as the gentrified streets in commercial DUMBO and the Navy Yard.

Other capital budget request for NYCTA
Explanation
Create more bus-only lanes and prioritize electric buses for the District. Improving our bus infrastructure will improve Citywide transit efficiency and encourage residents to utilize public transit for local travel instead of private vehicles. Electric buses are quieter and better for air quality, and a better network of bus-only lanes would greatly reduce traffic, increase bus arrival/departure reliability, and connect communities that are disconnected from economic centers. Buses also serve those with mobility needs (parents, elderly, disabled) better than our current subway infrastructure.

Explanation
More pedestrian safety and traffic calming design. The current street space share doesn?t reflect the community?s current modes of transportation or our growing population. Crossing our major streets is a frightening exercise for pedestrians of all abilities. We need curb extensions at pedestrian crossings to increase visibility, and raised crosswalks and intersections on all local streets. More consideration should be given to bollard design and placements, and we need to allocate more curb space to movement of goods so that delivery vehicles don?t block our streets.

Supporting bicycle use has positive impacts on traffic congestion, the environment, and community health, but many residents are still afraid to bike (or learn to bike) because our streets are not designed for bicycle safety. Our District is an essential connection to the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges and cyclists must have safe and logical routes to access them, including getting on and off the bridges safely and without crossing pedestrian or vehicular traffic routes.

In Brooklyn Heights, the only charging stations on a public street are marked off for use only by the NYC Dept of Emergency Management, which also has numerous charging stations in their private parking lot. The lack of charging stations creates a disincentive for residents to acquire an electric vehicle, as they would be forced to either drive to a different part of the City or pay for parking at expensive private parking garages.

Explanation
Improved visual signage at all playground entrances to enhance safety and hygiene. The number of households with dogs has continued to boom in our District. Both dog owners AND non-dog owners agree that there are too many dogs in the public parks. While this is an issue of capacity, it is also an issue of safety and hygiene: dogs are relieving themselves on playgrounds and artificial turf, which is not allowed per Parks rules. Entrance signage is missing, inadequate, or confusing which leads to unhygienic conditions and safety concerns for children, and tense relations between dog and child caretakers. The Board proposes widespread implementation of new park signage that clearly indicates "No Dogs Allowed" with a simple visual to assist both dog owners and non-dog owners.

Supporting safe, multi-modal transit has positive impacts on congestion, the environment, and community health, but many residents are still afraid to leave their private vehicles because our streets are not designed for multi-modal safety.
Response
Further study by the agency of this request is needed. Therefore, OMB does not take any position.

Request
Add NYPD parking facilities
Explanation
Funding for safe & proximate parking facilities for 84th & 88th precinct employees. The NYPD has insufficient safe parking proximate to their precinct houses and employees resort to parking on public sidewalks. We respect and honor our public safety colleagues, but this is a decades-long public nuisance that should be reversed as it impedes access to public thoroughfares for seniors, parents with strollers, and residents with special mobility needs; adds to community tensions and attitudes regarding the NYPD; and diminishes the street design of our neighborhoods.

Request
Provide a new or expanded park or amenity (i.e. playground, outdoor athletic field)
Explanation
Construction of a dog park at University Place, similar to the dog park above Union Square subway station, with fencing, gravel, and drainage infrastructure. Presently, University Place is a neglected eyesore in the midst of the densest growing part of Brooklyn, directly across Flatbush from City Point. A dog park on this site would turn it into an uplifting urban oasis, not only for dog owners and pets, but for all BKCD2 residents, shoppers, and workers passing by, or stopping to rest. The nearest dog park is over a mile away and many residents complain about too many dogs in Fort Greene Park: this would help mitigate that problem. There are 15 active members in the Friends of University Dog Park Friends Group. According to Parks Dept estimate, the cost is $1.1M.

Provide a new or expanded park or amenity (i.e. playground, outdoor athletic field)
Explanation
Construction of a dog park near PS 20 or Willoughby Open Streets. There are insufficient dog parks in this area which leads to dogs being exercised and relieved in park playgrounds and artificial turf. Fort Greene Park is overwhelmed with dogs and a dog run is not possible there due to tis Landmark status. Additional facilities along the Willoughby corridor leading to the park would alleviate a growing problem for both dog owners and non-dog owners.

Improve public housing maintenance and cleanliness
Explanation
Improve public housing maintenance and cleanliness. The condition of our City's public housing, in which many families and seniors live, is disgraceful and disgusting. We need a real commitment to necessary repairs and timely maintenance for public housing residents. The District Office continues to field a steady flow of pleas for improved services and maintenance at our NYCHA communities (particularly Farragut, Ingersoll, Whitman), including a general request for repairs to interior and exterior locks to increase public safety, and more regular and timely elevator repairs to maintain full accessibility. Safe and clean home environments create more stability and psychological safety which leads to happier and more secure communities.

Request
Expand street outreach
Explanation
Funding for more non-NYPD mental health and crisis street patrol mobile units to provide treatment options and support for small businesses. The increase in homelessness and unmanaged mental health issues is creating a safety issue for our 8 business corridors. Small businesses are neither trained nor staffed to manage the frontline mental health issues they are now regularly confronting in the course of conducting their daily business. We need more professionals on the street whoa re trained to deescalate crisis situations and prevent crimes before they occur.
Response
OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Street outreach services are available 24/7, 365 days a year. By calling 311 or using the 311 app when a homeless individual appears to be in need of assistance, any New Yorker can dispatch an outreach team to that person and help them move indoors. Funding for street outreach has more than doubled in recent years.

Renovate or upgrade an elementary school
Explanation
Funding for the placement of critical air circulation and conditioning system in PS1 located at 335 East 152nd Street, the Courtlandt School. Community Board 1 is within the most profound asthma corridor of our City. We voice our concerns about the current conditions for learning in all of our schools. However, in PS1 the air quality and circulation is extremely poor. Its over heated conditions are not conducive for learning and is having an adverse impact on the learning environment for our children. We advocate for the allocation of Capital funding for construction of an air condition system within the school.

Data from our mutual aid groups confirms that food insecurity has been steadily rising in or District. Specifically, the District needs coordinated City support and recognition for the "free fridge" and "free store" projects which have been a huge boon during COVID but which struggle to manage capacity and language barriers relying only on volunteers. They are well loved and utilized projects but need more infrastructure to be sustainable long-term.

Expand programming and activation of City-owned sites
Explanation
Funding for a capacity study of city-owned properties in BKCD02, and a master plan to construct as many affordable housing units as possible. According to the COLP (City-Owned & Leased Properties) database, there are 29 city-owned properties up for disposition in BKCD2: (4) existing residential structures, (3) vacant land parcels, and (4) properties leased to private tenants. Young adults can no longer afford to live in the neighborhoods where they were raised, in the neighborhoods they love, and where they have close family ties. Residents should not live in fear that they'll need to leave their neighborhood if they have to change apartments. That fear prevents residents from holding landlords to their agreements for safe, well-tended dwellings.

Assign more non-teaching staff, e.g., to provide social, health and other services
Explanation
A full time nurse assigned to every public school. Our youth need the services of full time school nurses to provide critical health care and education, and to support their mental wellness as they continue to navigate the unprecedented circumstances of COVID. Our district suffers from extremely high pediatric asthma rates. Students diagnosed with childhood asthma need support from a trained school nurse to learn how to manage their asthma effectively. The Open Airways program created by the American Lung Association has demonstrated better asthma management, fewer emergency room visits, and increased attendance when implemented with fidelity by school-based professionals. School-based administration of medication prevents the chronic absenteeism which leads to low graduation rates.
