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
Increase transportation services capacity
Explanation
The elderly have a difficult enough time traveling, and rising crime and gun violence in the city has made it even more difficult and dangerous to travel. Unreliable and presently deemed unsafe public transportation options are at times a senior's only choice. An increase in senior transportation, whether via para transit or taxi vouchers, should be provided.
Response
Further study by the agency of this request is needed. Therefore, OMB does not take any position.

Enhance programs for elder abuse victims
Explanation
Too often, our elders are too prideful, ashamed, or afraid to speak up for themselves, leading them to suffer continued abuse at the hands of caregivers or even strangers. We encourage DFTA to increase outreach efforts and initiate public service announcements to inform seniors of their options and services should they ever come face to face with elder abuse. We also advocate for increased public awareness programs to help people identify the signs and signals of elder abuse.

Other domestic violence services requests
Explanation
It is imperative that funding be provided for preventative services to educate individuals of all ages on the signs of abuse, whether physical, emotional, sexual, and psychological, and how to exit a situation that could be potentially life threatening. Furthermore, abusers should have multiple forms of assistance and treatment to assist them in overcoming the root and core issues that causes their abusive behavior.

They require considerable attention to maintain their safety and well-being, thus preventing them from being subjected to unnecessary hardship, pain, and mental aggravation in the form of fear.

Explanation
Early intervention is the key to saving the future of our youth. It is well documented that inner-city children have a higher risk for crime, dropping out of school and other educational deficits, gang involvement, drug use, and incarceration. We urge funding for activities that target at-risk youth. Funding for youth development and delinquency and prevention programs is necessary to serve our youth and quell the growing trend toward life-ruining activities.

We urge the Parks Department to increase efforts to keep our parks and playgrounds litter free. While we understand that the Parks Department is suffering severe budget cuts, we encourage resources to be increased for this endeavor. Of course, this request does not absolve those that utilize our parks and playgrounds from doing their part to keep the parks clean as well, and additional PEP officers should be deployed for ticketing offenders.

Other programs to address public health issues requests
Explanation
We urge the City to make all multiple dwelling housing units smoke-free, and also increase awareness of the dangers of smoking and secondhand smoke inhalation. Legislation making all multiple dwelling buildings smoke-free will protect residents with smoking neighbors from having to move and/or face dangerous health issues if they cannot afford to move. Any resident living next to or upstairs from a smoker is subject to secondhand smoke intrusion, which studies have shown is just as toxic as the primary filtered smoke inhaled by the smoker. Residents should not be forced to endure health issues brought about by inconsiderate neighbors and apathetic landlords.

Forestry services, including street tree maintenance
Explanation
We are pleased with the number of new trees that have been planted in the district over the last few years. The Parks Department must hold contractors accountable for not following the mandates of their contract as many of the recently planted trees are either dead or dying. Better street tree maintenance is needed to prevent these issues from plaguing a valuable resource. Additionally, older trees need better care such as pruning and larger tree pits to remain healthy and vibrant.

Explanation
A recent survey by CB8 indicates that while some residents are satisfied with subway service, all that ride buses with the District 8 corridor are disappointed with service. With issues ranging from bunching, long wait times, too many express/limited buses and not enough locals, and also the general slowness of buses along their route due to double parked cars and delivery trucks blocking the roadway, it is imperative that additional frequency be added to the B46 and B44 local buses, as well as general additional frequency for the B45, B49, B47, B65, and B69, as these buses service numerous neighborhoods and transfer points.

Create a new, or renovate or upgrade an existing public library (BPL)
Explanation
The Crown Heights branch of the Brooklyn Public Library has MAJOR CAPITAL needs. It has a $200,000 need for safety and security enhancements. The library is a community space that has not received adequate funding to address its ongoing needs which total over $6M dollars. If funding for repairs and upgrades continue to be delayed, future repairs will be added cost to taxpayers. Additionally, fixing delayed repairs has caused the library to be closed for extended periods of time. Closure of a library, especially in communities of color, forms a void to access the library's resources (technology, meeting space, wifi, outdoor programs, etc.).

Improve traffic and pedestrian safety, including traffic calming
Explanation
Ocean Avenue between Flatbush and Parkside Avenues needs traffic calming interventions. While the street is scheduled for major reconstruction with the addition of a bike lane, that may now be years away. In addition, there are five signalized street crossings all leading to the park?s entrances. They are all dangerous and should have more pedestrian refuges and other considerations. Two of the signalized crossings are not intersections; drivers ignore red signals every time the light changes. Drivers make illegal U-turns, and there is excessive speeding. The parking lane is used as a travel lane during rush hours, and was the reason for moving the planned bike lane onto the expanded sidewalk. But there is no enforcement during the afternoon rush and therefore can be a protected bike lanes

Request
Improve traffic and pedestrian safety, including traffic calming
Explanation
The three-year wait time period for speed hump installations, stop sign requests, midblock crossing requests and other traffic calming and pedestrian safety proposals must be decreased. DOT should be required to conduct district-wide traffic calming study to improve safety, particularly around known or identified speeding areas, and to understand how implementation of all or any combination of traffic calming requests would impact traffic flow in the District, instead of considering the impact on a block-by-block basis, as they are requested. Additionally, All Way crossings signals at intersections should be implemented in some heavily used areas to allow pedestrians time and space to cross the street. Truck routes throughout the District needs to be included in the study.
Response
OMB supports the agency's position as follows: More information is needed from the community board before making a funding decision. The community board should contact the agency.

Improve traffic and pedestrian safety, including traffic calming
Explanation
Lincoln Road bet. Flatbush Ave and Ocean Ave is a gateway to Prospect Park. It should be turned into a modified open street/busway, allowing restaurants to expand onto the parking lanes, but still leave space to implement trucks unload zones at the supermarket and two grocery stores on the block. The street is often congested and unsafe, with double and triple parked cars, trucks and buses.
