3-K for All programs will provide free, full-day, high-quality early education for three year olds, starting in fall 2017 in District 7 and 23. As a citywide initiative, our goal is to bring 3-K to all school districts citywide, to make it a universal program. Starting in fall 2018, the DOE will expand its 3-K portfolio to include new programs in 2 additional school districts, District 4 and District 27, and each year thereafter until 2020, for a total of 8 districts. We are working closely with the Superintendents and district school principals, as well as community based organization leaders, in School District 4 on implementation. The expansion of seats for 3-year olds in these districts will continue over two years.

Intersections with unmitigated traffic impacts as a result of the rezoning must be kept safe.

NYPD will work with DOT to monitor these intersections, and ensure sufficient resources are available to fulfill this public safety goal. This may include identifying the appropriate location for the deployment of unassigned but funded TEAs based on established criteria used to ensure

safety and improve traffic conditions. Both NYPD and DOT will provide the Council Member with periodic updates, including but not limited to during annual updates coordinated by DCP per item # 65.

Ongoing

DEP continually addresses ongoing issues within the rezoning area as they arise. DEP also conducts proactive inspections on sewer related issues. When 311 complaints are received, they are investigated and resolved in a timely manner. If the complaint is caused due to a street condition, DEP coordinates with DOT to inspect and resolve the issue.

? District 6 already has two early college high schools and would not be an equitable choice for another early college school
a) Inwood Early College for Health and Information Tech (06M211) (P-TECH)
b) City College Academy of the Arts (06M293)

DOT will work with relevant entities to participate in an informational briefing for interested stakeholders regarding the process for studying the feasibility of a pedestrian bridge.

2022 Start

• With the long-term goal of continuous access around the canal, consistent with the Waterfront Access Plan (WAP), upon completion of the Superfund work, DOT will conduct a maritime navigation study toward the end of exploring fixed pedestrian or other bridges across the Canal. This requires reaching out to all stakeholders (canal users and property owners abutting the canal). This study would take approximately six months. Ultimate creation of fixed structures would require the approval of the US Coast Guard along with the US Army Corps of Engineers and EPA. DOT will work with relevant entities to participate in an informational briefing for interested stakeholders regarding the process for studying the feasibility of a pedestrian bridge.

Building on the success of the nearby Rockaway Youth Task Force farm and the Edgemere Farm, the City will conduct outreach to better understand the feasibility and logistics of a market in Downtown Far Rockaway.

2017-2018

In spring 2018, EDC met with Council Member Richard's staff and GrowNYC staff to discuss the feasibility and logistics of a Youth Market Farm Stand in Downtown Far Rockaway. The Youth Market Farm Stand would be operated by neighborhood youth and supplied by local farmers. The Youthmarket would increase access to farm fresh food in the neighborhood, and provide an opportunity for young people to earn money and learn small-business skills. The project is in the planning stages and coordination is ongoing.

"The City will convene a working group with Council Member Espinal, community stakeholders, other elected officials, DOB, FDNY, HPD, and DCP to study barriers related to legalizing basement units in East New York (including such factors as the housing maintenance code, building code, multiple dwelling law and other legal constraints, building parameters, costs, and protections for existing tenants). There are approximately 1,800 single- and two-family buildings located in the East New York rezoning area, a unknown fraction of which have illegal basement apartments. The City will commit $12 million in funding to support conversions if the working group recommends actions that allow such funds to be used, with the appropriate form of the funding support to be determined by HPD. If HPD, in consultation with working group, determines funds cannot be used for this purpose they will be redirected to other weatherization or small home repair programs for 2-4 family homeowners in the East New York rezoning area in consultation with the Council Member.

"Unleashes capacity through the basement apartment program pilot in East New York for $2.4 million in FY19." (FY 2019 Preliminary Budget)

2016-ongoing

A multi-agency working group, including HPD, the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB), the NYC Fire Department (FDNY), and the NYC Department of City Planning (DCP), working with Council Member Espinal and multiple community-based organizations in East New York, began meeting in the Summer 2016 to study the feasibility of a basement legalization pilot program in East New York. This working group is supplementing the feasibility analysis by conducting targeted meetings with community groups, experts, and City staff. As a result of the working group's efforts to date, the City now has several data products that aid in the feasibility analysis. Based on analysis from DCP, the City has identified properties where the existing zoning would allow for an additional dwelling unit. In addition, the community partners provided sample data on homeowner demographics and the physical housing stock by surveying homeowners and producing schematics of their basements and cellars. The interagency working group is using these schematics as examples for potential legal conversions and to better understand the real-world regulatory and financial barriers of legalizing these units. Over the coming months, the working group will continue to identify barriers, propose solutions, and assess the feasibility of the program. Recommendations are anticipated to be issued at the end of Summer 2017.

The City selected ENY BASE, a partnership of various community based organizations led by Cypress Hills LDC, to conduct outreach within the community, assess homes for feasibility and eligibility, help homeowners navigate the approvals necessary to undertake the renovations, and access HPD and other financial assistance. HPD and ENY BASE are currently conducting outreach to homeowners and performing feasibility assessments to determine eligibility. Upon completion of this phase this summer, HPD expects approximately 40 homeowners to move into the application and pre-development phase.

the site would require a modification of the City Map. Additionally, the current zoning on the

In late 2021, HPD, DCP and EDC completed a preliminary technical analysis of the 54 Central Avenue site to determine development options. Reviewing the site as either a commercial/mixed-use or 100% residential development highlighted a development scenario that significantly exceeds HPD’s financing capabilities. It was determined that this site would be infeasible for affordable housing development until additional, alternative funding sources are identified.

The Grant Avenue Municipal Parking Field is currently operated by the NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) as an active municipal surface parking lot with 203 spaces adjacent to the Grant Avenue subway station on the IND line (A train) in East New York. HPD began conducting a feasibility analysis of the site for affordable housing at the end of 2016 and higher level coordination with both DOT and MTA is currently underway. The subway runs underneath a significant portion of the site and poses formidable engineering constraints, which require further analysis to understand development feasibility and the potential costs associated with building above and/or adjacent to the subway line. HPD will continue working with DOT and MTA in order to determine the development feasibility and potential project timeline by the end of 2017.
