Coordinate with the Board of Standard and Appeals regarding Street Widths

Transportation & Infrastructure

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (DOT)

Completed

Bay Street is mapped to be wider than it is presently built throughout much of the rezoning area, with mapped widths of between 70 and 80 feet. Today, there are several small underbuilt buildings within the bed of the mapped street that preclude the widening of Bay Street to its full width. Over time, new zoning will incentivize redevelopment, and property owners may go to

the Board of Standard and Appeals to build within the mapped Bay Street in accordance with GCL Section 35. As that happens, the City may utilize Builders Pavement Plans to widen Bay Street and provide adequate space for buses to make stops without blocking traffic as well as additional parking opportunities. While property owners may apply to the Board of Standard

and Appeals to waive requirements in order to locate buildings within the bed of the mapped streets, DOT will issue a public statement on the priority of widening and improving the road network at Bay Street. DOT will make clear in future consultations with BSA that granting any requested waivers for permits for building on the bed of mapped Bay Street (GCL Section 35) or

waivers of curb alignment would adversely impact existing road network resources and interfere with attempts to improve traffic flows. While the administration cannot keep developers from seeking redress from the Board of Standards and Appeals, the BSA does seek DOT and DEP guidance on such matters.

Ongoing

This point of agreement refers to the Richmond Terrace BSAs from 2019 (i.e. 814 Richmond Terrace). These applications are considered to have been closed out.

As the timing of new development is difficult to predict with precision and would likely occur over the course of multiple years, the City will undertake and fund a Traffic Monitoring Program to monitor development patterns and traffic and pedestrian conditions in the neighborhood through 2030. DCP, as lead agency, in collaboration with DOT as expert agency, developed a

Traffic Monitoring Program to verify the need and effectiveness of the proposed mitigation measures. The Traffic Monitoring Program will cover the entire rezoning area, with a focus on 21 intersections where significant adverse impacts were identified in the FEIS. Through the Traffic Monitoring Program, the City will track development as it occurs, and identify real world

conditions to determine whether additional data collection and analysis is warranted. The Program will help determine the timing of implementation of the mitigation measures identified in the Final EIS and/or whether additional or new measures should be considered and implemented. DCP and DOT will commit to regular updates to Community Board 1 to review monitoring plan results and the proposed changes to street network and other strategies to

mitigate traffic issues.

Completed and Ongoing

Dedicate rental assistance to help move 100 homeless families and individuals out of shelter and

into affordable housing. The CITYFEPS Rent Supplement (CITYFEPS) was created to help

homeless families and individuals move from temporary, emergency shelter back to the

community as quickly as possible by paying a portion of their rent. HRA will dedicate CITYFEPS or

any successor program resources to help 100 homeless families and individuals from the

rezoning area (zip codes 10301 and 10304) who are currently living in shelter move back into

the neighborhood if they so choose.

Both DSS and CCHR will help protect voucher users who may be subject to discrimination. DSS's

Source of Income Discrimination Unit works to prevent and prosecute instances of housing

discrimination based on lawful source of income via a multi-pronged approach that includes

12

education and outreach, pre-complaint intervention, investigations, and filing and prosecuting

complaints on behalf of the City alleging a pattern or practice of source of income

discrimination. CCHR enforces the city's anti-discrimination law which includes protections

against housing discrimination on the basis of one's source of income (e.g. use of government

rental assistance, including vouchers). CCHR has a dedicated source of income discrimination

unit that accepts tips and complaints, and works to ensure people with vouchers are not turned

away from housing they are otherwise eligible for.

2019

From July 2019 through July 2024, 208 families and individuals experiencing homelessnesswith a prior address from Bay Street moved into permanent housing with the support of the Living in Communities (LINC), CITYFEPS Rent Supplement (CITYFEPS), CITYFHEPS Rent Supplement (CITYFHEPS), and Special Exit and Prevention Supplement (SEPS) rental assistance programs. Of these families and individuals, 25 moved back to Bay Street with this rental assistance. The City created LINC, CITYFEPS, CITYFHEPS, and SEPS to help families and individuals experiencing homelessness move from temporary shelters back to their communities by paying part of their rent. HRA is dedicating resources from these programs to help 100 families and individuals experiencing homelessness with a prior address from Bay Street and living in shelters move back into the neighborhood if they so choose.

Provide free legal assistance to North Shore tenants

Housing

HUMAN RESOURCES ADMINISTRATION (HRA)

Completed and Ongoing

Since July of 2015, free legal services programs through the Human Resources Administration's

Office of Civil Justice have provided approximately 4,900 North Shore residents with free legal

representation, advice and assistance for families and individuals facing eviction, harassment by

unscrupulous landlords and other displacement pressures. Between Fiscal Year 2013 and Fiscal

Year 2019, Administration funding for legal services programs for tenants in need grew from

approximately $6 million to $104 million, a seventeen-fold increase.

As a part of the Administration's historic continuing investment in tenant legal services,

including implementation of the City's Universal Access to Counsel law, which makes New York

City the first city in the United States to ensure that all tenants facing eviction in Housing Court

or in NYCHA administrative proceedings will have access to legal services, HRA's tenant legal

services programs will serve Bay Street area tenants by providing access to legal services to

households facing eviction in Housing Court and NYCHA proceedings in zip codes 10301 and

10304 every year starting no later than Fiscal Year 2021, with full implementation by the end of

Fiscal Year 2022. Based on current data, this initiative will serve an estimated 4,000 Bay Street

residents facing eviction every year. Starting in Fiscal Year 2021, HRA's Office of Civil Justice will

report on the number of households and individuals receiving City-funded legal services for
