Description: "Twenty years ago, a group of Fifth Avenue property owners and retailers contributed funds for a clean up crew consisting of just two part-time employees. The purpose of that nascent Clean Team was to show how we could improve the appearance of our neighborhood and thereby encourage others to support the creation of a Business Improvement District (BID) that would keep our area clean, safe and welcoming. Today, our 40 member staff provides supplemental security and sanitation services; we also assist tourists and act as an advocate for Fifth Avenue from 46th Street to 61st Street and 57th Street from Madison Avenue to Avenue of the Americas."

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."

Description: "This website, which takes the form of a virtual walking tour, grew out of the successful effort to establish an Audubon Park Historic District on land in northern Manhattan that had once been part of John James Audubon's farm Minniesland. That effort was one of many community-focused initiatives undertaken by a group of people who have since coalesced into the Audubon Park Alliance. The Audubon Park virtual walk--or, actual walk if you live nearby and visit in person--focuses on Audubon Park’s history from about 1841 to 1915 and traces its development from farm to suburb to cityscape."

Bounded by Grove Street, West 4th Street, and Christopher Street, the park has provided residents and tourists with a place to relax since its founding in 1837. In June 2016, President Obama designated the creation of Stonewall National Monument, based in Christopher Park. Creation of national monument, the first in America to honor the struggle for LGBTQI rights, entailed the transfer of the park from NYC to the National Park Service. Prior to the designation, the park was already included in the Stonewall listing as a National Historic Landmark as it was integral to the Stonewall riots of 1969."

The East 69th Street Association was formed in 1962 and has been responsible for much of the block’s improvement. For example, the Association has arranged for the planting of trees and plants, the posting of signs, and the improvement of police patrols. Importantly, the Association in 1964 was able to prevent the block from being re-zoned to commercial businesses, thus assuring and keeping the block a pleasant residential street. The Association continues to be involved in community activities and meets regular to discuss and decide on the issues that affects all of its citizens."
