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
Improve traffic and pedestrian safety, including traffic calming
Explanation
We request a pedestrian crossing for the Ave. K & Ocean Parkway intersection. As of now there is no pedestrian crossing for 2/5th of a mile, from Ave. J to Ave. L. It is a matter of public safety to install a traffic light that allows pedestrians to cross safely. A traffic light will slow traffic on this stretch where cars routinely speed up because there are no traffic calming measures in place. There has been an increase in midnight drag racing, donuts, and speeding. A traffic light and crosswalk would go a long way to solving this problem. This item was recommended for further study last year, we request the same.

Improve traffic and pedestrian safety, including traffic calming
Explanation
There is a large school near 13th Ave and 36th St. that necessitates crossing 36th St. for most students. And although the area has been dedicated a school zone, there is no traffic calming devices for the entire stretch of 36th St. from Church Ave. (past Clara, Tehama, and Louisa Street) all the way until 12th Ave. Another school is coming to this area, which will make it even more important to have the area safe. We need a crosswalk at 36th St. and 13th Ave., with some mechanism to have cars stop for pedestrians to cross.

Reconstruct streets
Explanation
37th Street between 14th & 15th Avenues is dire need of reconstruction. CB12 has requested funding for this project (FY2018 212201807C, FY2022 212202204C). We were told this would not qualify as a standard street repaving because of the unique aspects of this street, such as the absence of curb cuts. This street is plagued with potholes, sink holes, and cracked streets that are dangerous to motorist as well as pedestrian crossings. The unattended potholes and various depressions lead to flooding with every rainstorm. We are repeatedly told there isn?t any funding and we should request from elected officials. Elected Officials don?t have the money to fund such a project. This is a necessary infrastructure upgrade.
Response
OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Capital funding constraints, project capacity and City-wide priorities preclude this project at this time.

Request
New equipment for maintenance
Explanation
We request a mini-packer to service Ocean Parkway Malls which is a forgotten PARKS property, rarely maintained without allocated resources. This ~5-mile-long bike and pedestrian path runs through a high-density area. This is a park of choice for elderly residents, dog walkers, walkers, and joggers, and the only bike path in our area. But the strip is dirty, overgrown, cracked, and neglected. We advocated for waste baskets in response to many complaints. But, we learned there's a faulty mini-packer so the trash isn't collected.
Though it is an unconventional park, it is essential to the quality of life of thousands. Last year we were told this should be brought to elected officials. As an essential city service, our residents should be able to depend on the regular city budget for this.

Further study by the agency of this request is needed. Therefore, OMB does not take any position.

Request
Improve accessibility of transit infrastructure, by providing elevators, escalators, etc.
Explanation
There are large numbers of young children, senior citizens, mothers with strollers, and individuals with mobility challenges (often with walkers or wheelchairs) who have a hard time getting onto the train platforms. There is an urgent need to install elevators at the D and F lines. Though the F line is slated to have the Ave. I stop accessible by 2024, the 18th Ave. and McDonald Ave. station is where transfers to several bus lines are available. Accessibility is needed at the 50th St. and New Utrecht Av. station on the D line. It is the closest subway station to Maimonides Medical Center, a level 1 Trauma Center as well as one of the most oft-used birth centers in New York State. NYCTA should add these stations to their priority lists.
Response
More information is needed from the community board before making a funding decision. The community board should contact the agency.

Request
Renovate or upgrade existing precinct houses
Explanation
The request for a new 66 Precinct Station House has been a budget request for over 37 years. Funding was eliminated for a project proposal to construct a new 66 Precinct Station house in the FY 12 budget. As it stands now, the precinct house is probably the smallest in the city and cannot service the offices. The precinct house needs to either be expanded, rebuilt or moved entirely to a new larger location.

The agency recommends funding this budget request, but at this time the availability of funds is uncertain. OMB supports the agency's position.

Increase enforcement of illegal dumping laws
Explanation
There has been an increase in dumping. A few hotspots require consistent attention. Increasing enforcement is an essential deterrent. A $4,000 violation as an actual probability, instead of a mythological possibility, may deter would-be violators. The dumping breeds unsanitary conditions and rodents. Hotspots are: along the Washington Cemetery (20th & 21st Ave. Bay Pkwy., McDonald Ave.), along the LIRR on 61st St. bw 11th & 12 Ave., on 56th St bw 15th &16th Ave., and 55th St. bw 16th & 17th Ave. We've been told funds are unavailable. Since then DSNY has implemented a camera program to catch offenders, we request funding to place a few cameras in strategic locations to help alleviate this problem. We need enforcement to work closely with the Super and CB12 to best place cameras.

Provide better park maintenance
Explanation
Ocean Parkway is a highly trafficked Special District. The beauty of Ocean Parkway must not be allowed to deteriorate. Some of our elected officials have designated monies for the upgrade and beautification of the Malls. Maintenance must be ongoing to make sure the upgrades and beautification remain intact. In order to maintain this arena in a sanitary and groomed condition, a crew should be assigned to maintain this thoroughfare and prevent homeless people from sleeping on the benches. An additional crew cab truck is requested to transport them the length and breadth of this roadway. The Malls and trees must receive regular attention so that the Parkway can be properly maintained.

Other traffic improvement requests
Explanation
NYC.gov states there are 150 HIQA inspectors. Their mission statement includes ?increas(ing) the level of safety for both pedestrian and vehicle travel?? and ?expedit(ing) the flow of traffic, for both pedestrian and vehicular traffic around the construction zones.? Street permit stipulations are often ignored, leading to chaos. It is necessary to increase the number of HIQA inspectors to ensure compliance. DOT often doesn?t send an inspector quickly enough to be an effective remedy. More inspectors and quicker action will be immensely helpful. HIQA can come hours later- after construction is complete. Further, an inspector should be permanently assigned to the CB12 area to coordinate with the board for effective permit compliance. This was denied last year. The condition persists.

Forestry services, including street tree maintenance
Explanation
Although PARKS maintain a 7-year pruning cycle, oftentimes trees fall into disrepair before the 7 years are out. The incidents with falling trees or branches has been rising in our district due to delay in treatment of sick and dying trees. The storms of the last few months highlighted the devastation caused by falling trees. Other than the damage to property, both personal and government, the trees also lead to downed wires. The outages are very disruptive and costly. We request additional resources to provide for a safe timeframe to check on the health of trees specifically to prevent them from falling during severe weather conditions. Additionally, the timeline for the replacement of trees is very long. We request additional resources to speed up the process.

Other garbage collection and recycling requests
Explanation
We are asking for a truck dedicated to servicing our district's schools. We request funding for a dedicated truck to ensure all the waste can be collected daily. One shared CB12-CB14 truck cannot sufficiently service the amount of trash generated daily. The shared truck does not have adequate space and routinely provides incomplete collections, as it fills up before finishing the route. A truck is needed to remedy the quality of life and public health concerns of decaying foods.
Response
OMB supports the agency's position as follows: The Bureau of Community Affairs (BCA) includes our Community Liaison Unit which works with community boards, elected officials and community groups/organizations to promote DSNY programs, services, and proper practices.

Explanation
Public schools have daily trash collection. Private schools that serve ~100k children 3 meals daily year-round have twice weekly pickups. We request funding for sanitation employees to service daily trash collection for ALL schoolchildren in CB12. Enrollment in private schools outnumbers public school enrollment here. Daily school trach pickups must be implemented to remedy the quality of life and public health concerns of decaying foods. The FY22 (212202001E) response was that this is not a budget request, yet DSNY continues to deny this service claiming a lack of funding. Last year, FY23 (212202301E), this was not recommended for funding. We respectfully request reconsideration.

Specifically, the traffic light on 60th St and 13th Ave. Drivers on 13th Ave heading south must turn left or right when they get to the 60th St intersection because 13th Ave. becomes a ONE-WAY street. Multiple vehicles go the wrong way southbound from 60th St to 59th St. Drivers need easily visible direction ON the traffic light; either a sign indicating only turns are allowed or lights with arrows turning right or left. This was requested in FY22 and we were told that ?work on this project/program was completed in FY 21?, but it hasn?t. The problem persists and can be fixed with a sign directed to the drivers who drive the wrong way. We asked the Boro Commissioner, per the response when this request was denied, to no avail.

Explanation
We request resources to remove vehicles that are parked on residential streets. We need increased use of, or a dedicated, NYPD tow truck to remove offending vehicles. Parking is scarce in our district, and illegally parked vehicles make it more so. Laws are ineffective if not enforced. These vehicles create unsafe conditions when large trucks park on dark, quiet streets. Large groups hanging out and lewd behavior are hidden by trucks on quiet streets, which creates a perfect scenario for people with bad intentions. Our residents deserve to park at night and walk at night without fear. We?ve been told to bring this to the attention of the precinct. We have, repeatedly.

Explanation
We are requesting an increase in officers to focus specifically on enforcement of mopeds, electric bikes, and electric assist bicycles on sidewalks and bike paths. With the explosion of moped share companies and other electric capable bikes comes the risk of pedestrian injury. These riders should be on the streets- but it is impossible to walk 3 blocks on city sidewalks without needing to dodge such vehicles. Another problem is the danger to cyclists on the Ocean Parkway bike lane. Bike lanes are meant for cyclists, e-bikes included, not mopeds. In this climate of transportation alternatives advocacy it is incumbent upon us to make the existing bike lanes safe. But, cyclists getting hit by mopeds is a too frequent situation.

In many cases, there are numerous restaurants, etc., along a given corridor now (7-11, KFC, Dunkin Donuts, other coffee shops, etc.), yet only one or two bins are available in the surrounding area.
We request that DSNY add adequate numbers of bins at critical points along Coney Island Avenue and Church Ave.

Request
Conduct traffic or parking studies
Explanation
Traffic is very congested along 18th Ave., specifically from 45th Street to Ocean Parkway and especially during morning hours. 18th Ave., an already major thoroughfare, intersects with McDonald Ave. where the F line subway station is. This creates both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. We are requesting a thorough engineering study to determine the feasibility of certain measures to alleviate the strain. For instance, the possibility of adding an additional lane with interchangeable directions depending on the time of day (as is done at various locations in other cities) or adding turning lanes.
Response
OMB supports the agency's position as follows: The Borough Commissioner's office has reviewed this request. This request has been denied. Please contact the B/C's office for further details.

Request
Conduct traffic or parking studies
Explanation
13th Ave. is the commercial shopping Mecca in CB12. People come from all over to shop here due to its ethnic flavor. On any given day, more than 10k people traverse this shopping strip. Parking is at a premium. It can take an hour to pass through the 23 blocks of this shopping strip. 13 Ave. hasn?t been redesigned in over 21 years and is in dire need of a thorough engineering study to determine the best measures to ease the traffic and parking congestion nightmare, especially during rush hours. We request such a study to determine the feasibility of certain ideas. For instance, the possibility of adding an additional lane with interchangeable direction depending on the time of day or adding turning lanes and maybe eliminating parking at certain times to increase traffic flow.

Explanation
A complete traffic study on Avenue J from McDonald Avenue to Coney Island Avenue is needed as well, especially at the intersection of Avenue J and Bay Parkway where there is a constant bottleneck. The streets aren't aligned so sometimes drivers may find themselves continuing into a non-existent lane. There is severe congestion during both AM and PM rush hours. It can take a very long to travel this strip, especially from the Bay Parkway intersection to Ocean Parkway.

Enhance park safety through more security staff (police or parks enforcement)
Explanation
Funding is needed for Parks Personnel to lock all parks in our district after dusk. Elected officials have contributed huge sums of money to upgrade our parks into state-of-the-art facilities that are pleasant outdoor spaces for children. However, the lack of security attracts an element to the parks that deters youth from wholesome play. It's a shame to have the capital expenditures go to waste due to security concerns.

Due to fiscal constraints, the availability of funds is uncertain.

Explanation
Employment- We have a large population of residents in our district that aren?t college educated. Investing in targeted vocational training in this district is a priority that would go a long way towards raising the current low incomes many families are experiencing. Our residents are smart and capable. They would benefit from training with an emphasis on high paying and emerging skills. There are no Work Force 1 (WF1) centers close enough to service the district, therefore providing funding to fill the gap is appropriate.

Other expense budget request for HRA
Explanation
Since we know HRA is unlikely to bring a center to our district, we ask that HRA send professionals to our office to assist our residents. In the past, they said they 'will continue to explore this request..." HRA clarified that they can provide training programs, but that is not this request. We ask for a program where HRA staff can provide on-the-spot assistance. Our residents need accessible HRA personnel with knowledge of specifically tailored programs. We have a fully equipped and enclosed space where HRA staff can help those who need it. Access HRA works for those who have the technological knowledge needed, but it does not help many of our most needy residents who don't have the computer literacy needed to use it.

Further study by the agency of this request is needed. Therefore, OMB does not take any position.

Funding for a new senior center program
Explanation
The centers for older adults in our district require funding for essential senior programming. Centers have modernized their programming to accommodate the newer generation of seniors. There are younger seniors (65-75) who are recently retired or lost jobs because of Covid. They require stimulating programming and meaningful activities to improve their lives. Our kosher residents require kosher centers, which are unfortunately severally underfunded. The changing demographics of seniors require adaptations by the centers, for example, centers are seeing an increase in Polish-speaking seniors and so require translation services for them. Last year we were told that further study is needed. We request this study.
