Description: "BQGreen will create a 'park out of thin air' by extending a concrete platform over a portion of the BQE expressway that runs below the street level in Williamsburg, Brooklyn between S. Third and S. Fifth Streets. BQGreen will integrate Marcy Green and Rodney Park, two existing parks which currently are adjacent to the expressway.

Title: Alliance for Public Space Leadership

URL: https://www.publicspace.nyc/

Description: "Currently, multiple agencies are accountable for managing New York City’s public realm ... We need a new way to integrate our thinking on these critical areas. Our public spaces are better when we think about them together. APSL proposed creating a new Office of the Public Realm that would have a role in decision-making around public works projects, maintenance of the public realm, and the design and function of public space. We enthusiastically support the Mayor’s announcement to create this critical position. New York needs this citywide facilitation to foster effective coordination, allowing individual departments and agencies to do their best work to ensure we all have equitable access to space and resources."
