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.

Other expense budget request for DOT
Explanation
Multiple reports and calls have been made to make FiDi?s historic street grid more pedestrian focused while addressing the need to modernize curb management, deliveries, trash, school safety, multi-modal transportation, etc. In order to effectively coordinate the many DOT, DDC, EDC and other projects in FiDi so that they all contribute toward a shared vision for what the neighborhood could and needs to be, a project to convene a meeting of different NYC agencies along with representatives from Manhattan CB1 and other stakeholders is needed to develop a that shared vision and to develop a neighborhood street plan.
Response
Further study by the agency of this request is needed. Therefore, OMB does not take any position.

Request
Other traffic improvement requests
Explanation
As a community district with ten historic districts and a history of problems with our cobblestone (i.e., Belgian block) streets, it is important that historic streetscape design guidelines be developed so that there is clarity and predictability regarding building and maintaining historic streets. Effective intervention requires a holistic approach to address the special design needs and context of historic streets. The requested street design guidelines, policies and processes must also address the current problems with accessibility and safety for all users in our district. The case-by-case remedies currently used have been unsatisfactory for both aesthetics and cyclist and pedestrian safety.

Request
Other expense budget request for DPR
Explanation
Study the addition of a floating pool. Neighboring community boards have outdoor public pools which are free for public use during the summer, whereas CD1 has none. CD1?s indoor ?community pools? such as those at Manhattan Youth, BMCC or Stuyvesant all have fees to swim, and are rarely if ever open to the general public. Swimming lessons are very expensive and few children can participate because there are limited spots even if one can afford. Especially now that +Pool will not be designed for CD1, a local public pool must be considered for the CD1 area. For example, a small pop up pool in a shipping container like Brooklyn Bridge Park in Brooklyn, or an above-ground pool to minimize costs. CD1 should have a summer pool outside, free for all like neighboring Community Districts.
