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.

Roadway maintenance (i.e. pothole repair, resurfacing, trench restoration, etc.)
Explanation
Allocate funds to reconstruct Clarkson St. from West St. to Greenwich St. including repair & replacement of Belgian blocks and installation of a granite bicycle lane. The Belgian block street bed on Clarkson St. bet. West and Greenwich
Sts. is in great need of repair with loose, broken, scattered and missing blocks, large
uncovered spaces, exposed manholes, and deep ridges, posing a major hazard to
pedestrians, those in wheelchairs and with strollers, bicyclists and drivers. Bicyclists opt
to use the sidewalk instead, endangering people walking there. A granite strip bike lane
will provide comfortable, direct bike access and keep bike riders off the sidewalk.

Request
Reconstruct streets
Explanation
Allocate funds to install a granite strip bicycle lane on Morton Street between West Street and Washington Street. The Belgian block surface is unsuitable for bikes, resulting in cyclists riding
on the sidewalks, hazardous for pedestrians. Morton Street is a main thoroughfare from the
Hudson River Park (West St) going east, calling for an eastbound bicycle lane, granite
between West and Washington Streets and striped eastward from Washington. The new 75
Morton Street school makes it even more urgent to keep bicycles safely off the sidewalks
and provide for safe bicycling for all.

Belgian Blocks are either badly damaged, missing or both and need to be restored and/or replaced. In some cases the structural base is so deteriorated, reconstruction is needed. Current poor condition is hazardous to pedestrians and a blight to the historic districts. The restoration of these streets with Belgian blocks is essential in keeping with the nature of these historically important areas

Provide a new or expand an existing elementary school
Explanation
Allocate funds for the 100,000 sq. ft. Bleecker Street School. As part of the New York University 2012 up-zoning, NYU?s main community giveback was the option to build the Bleecker School, If not built, 100,000 sq. ft. of school space reverts to NYU for university use. If the Bleecker School option expires on Dec. 31, 2023, $65+ million in value transfers from NYC taxpayers to NYU, based on the average price per buildable sq. ft in Manhattan and arguably higher, due to the lack of vacant land in Greenwich Village. CB2, also supports NYU's committement to "still preserving the grocery store at or near the current location."

Other capital budget request
Explanation
Allocate funds for the permanent preservation of Elizabeth Street Garden, in its entirety, on land owned by NYC Department of Housing Preservation & Development, on a through lot on Elizabeth Street and Mott Streets, between Prince and Spring Streets. CB2 urges HPD to transfer jurisdiction over this lot to the Parks Dept. without further delay. The neighborhood around Elizabeth St. Garden lacks open space. Little Italy and SoHo account for 23% of CB 2's population, but have only 3% of its open space, virtually 100% paved, for an open space ratio of only 0.07 acres per 1,000 residents. Elizabeth St. Garden is located in the only downtown Manhattan neighborhood that the NYC Parks Department defines as underserved by open space.

What study has been done and, if so, what were the findings and recommendations. Even if resiliency projects received federal and/or state funds for USACE study or more localized studies, any major project will likely need to have matching funds provided by the City.

Other educational programs requests
Explanation
Reinstate pre-pandemic funding for arts education. In 2014, a report by Comptroller Scott Stringer acknowledged the widely accepted benefits of arts education and its positive influence on children, including but not limited to: academic attainment, social emotional development and future employment. Chancellor Carranza?s Arts School Report for 2017-2018 announced a record spending on arts education. This included the administration?s $23 million investment to expand programming, renovate arts spaces, and hire new teachers. However, for FY22, the City slashed arts education funding by 70% due to shortfalls in tax revenue related to the loss of tax revenue resulting from the shutdown. CB2 strongly supports reinstating pre-pandemic funding for arts education in our public schools.
