3	Support Arts and Culture organizations	DCLA	ongoing		$44.8 million in capital and programmatic funds	The Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA) provides ongoing support to New York City arts and culture organizations through operational grants and capital allocations. Western Queens and Long Island City arts and culture organizations can apply for support from the DCLA Cultural Development Fund. This competitive, peer-evaluated grant process supports a broad, multidisciplinary group of diverse nonprofit organizations for their cultural services to city residents. Annually, the CDF supports over 1,000 grantees with programmatic funding, with over $1.2M awarded to 39 Western Queens and Long Island City nonprofits for Fiscal Year 2025. The Queens Art Fund New Work Grant and Arts Access Grant, funded through DCLA and Council monies, are also available for Queens organizations. In Fiscal Year 2025, DCLA provided over $650,000 to the New York Foundation for the Arts for regranting through the Queens Arts Fund. Western Queens is home to two Cultural Institutions Group members: MoMA PS1 and the Museum of the Moving Image. The City provides over $3M in annual operating subsidy to these keystone cultural institutions, with each receiving a baseline (budget) increase in FY26. The City has allocated over $40M in capital funding recently to Western Queens arts institutions Chocolate Factory, Flux Factory, MoMA PS1, and the Museum of the Moving Image. Additionally, through its Create in Place Program, DCLA provides support for cultural and creative organizations that seek assistance with space needs, connecting them with technical assistance programs, funding opportunities, and lists of creative workspaces and service providers. DCLA will conduct targeted outreach in Long Island City to ensure that organizations are aware of these resources.

4	Support Arts and Culture Organizations through the Greenlight Innovation Fund	EDC	ongoing	Ongoing	Awards starting at $3 million	NYCEDC’s Greenlight Innovation Fund helps eligible nonprofit organizations in future-focused sectors, such as creative industries and related technology fields, to access capital funds for property acquisition, construction, renovation, or to purchase fixed equipment. NYCEDC will conduct targeted outreach and engagement to promote the Greenlight Innovation Fund and encourage proposals from the local creative and technology industries in Long Island City. Proposals that align with the Fund’s policy goals – such as supporting the development of catalytic new spaces for sector growth, including in creative and technology sectors, strengthening industry clusters, and supporting workforce development, entrepreneurship, and commercialization – will receive favorable scoring. The RFP targets, among other industries, the creative sector.	Arts and Culture	Tara Duvivier	Edjo Wheeler (Co-Chair) Karesia Batan (Co-Chair) Molly Kurzius Ellen Day Sherwin Banfield Hannah Berson
5	Activate Schoolyards to Playgrounds	Parks, NYCPS	ongoing			Across the city, NYC Parks has been successful in partnering with NYC Department of Education on the Schoolyards to Playgrounds Program. This program opens schoolyards for public use outside of school hours by funding New York City Public Schools (NYCPS) custodial services necessary for longer opening hours. Given the limited opportunities to create new public open space in Long Island City, Schoolyards to Playgrounds will provide an opportunity to increase open space. School custodians are responsible for opening the schoolyard to the public after school lets out, maintaining the schoolyard during operating hours and closing the schoolyard at nighttime. The City will strive to ensure that any new schools constructed in the Long Island City area will include at-grade schoolyards with street access that can be open to the public outside of school hours.

6	Advance the Queens Community Board 2 Walk to Park Site Selection and Acquisition application	Parks, DCP	2026	Public review process expected to begin by early 2026		Through the Walk to Park Initiative, the NYC Parks has identified community districts across the City where there are very few accessible open spaces, and specifically where many residents may not be within walking distance to a park (including areas outside the OneLIC rezoning study area, such as the southeastern portion of LIC). Queens Community District 2 has been identified as one such area and NYC Parks and DCP have identified potential sites suitable for open space acquisition. Parks has kicked off land use processes for two community districts elsewhere in the City thus far. The City expects the public review process for Queens Community District 2 will begin in mid-late Fall of 2025.

7	Boost capacity for the Hunters Point Park Conservancy	Parks	2027	FY27	$50 thousand	Hunters Point Parks Conservancy (HPPC) is important community partner, helping to improve park spaces by providing programming and volunteer coordination. While HPPC does have a formal Memorandum of Agreement with New York State Parks for their work at Gantry Plaza State Park, HPPC’s work occurs in an informal and positive manner on NYC Parks property and NYC Parks and HPPC do not currently have a formal agreement. NYC Parks and HPPC are in discussions and intend to enter into a partnership agreement to formalize their existing relationship, allowing for HPPC to build their current capacity and expand their programming presence at Hunters Point South Park. To support HPPC’s growth and capacity-building, the City will provide a one-time grant of $50,000 in FY27 to support an update to the organization’s strategic plan.

8	Collaborate with property owners on new waterfront esplanade	EDC, DOT, Parks	2033	Completion by 2033	$10.9 million for general costs, in addition to stakeholder contributions.	NYCEDC, DOT, and Parks will make best efforts to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with property owners to develop a unified master plan for a waterfront esplanade. Additionally, the City will advance the construction of portions of the esplanade that are on its properties, including a portion under the Queensboro Bridge that is currently occupied by DOT and a portion at 4-99 44th Drive that is currently used for NYCPS parking. In addition to developing a design for those publicly-owned sites, the MOU would also include the conceptual design of the following portions of the waterfront: The ConEdison Learning Facility at 43-82 Vernon Boulevard The New York Power Authority (NYPA) property located at 42-02 Vernon Boulevard The Terra Cotta site located at 42-16 Vernon Boulevard DSNY would relocate its salt pile, currently located at 43rd Avenue, in order to provide an upland connection for the esplanade. Additionally, the City will set aside $10M in capital funds for general costs associated with the construction of the esplanade, provided that the project is determined to be capitally eligible pursuant to the City Comptroller’s Directive 10. Within six months of reaching an agreement on the MOU, the City through EDC will commence work on the unified master plan, to be completed within 12 months thereafter. Upon completion of the master plan, the City will brief the Council Member and relevant stakeholders on potential next steps and options for executing the full build-out of this esplanade. The City will proceed into advanced design work and construction on the City-owned portions of the esplanade at that time.

9	Construct Queensbridge Baby Park at 21st Street	Parks, DOT	2031	Design to start in FY28. Construction complete by the end of 2031.	$2.3 million	In recent years, NYC Parks, NYCHA, and the Department of Citywide Administrative Services worked to remove dozens of abandoned vehicles from and to clean up the portion of Queensbridge Baby Park just west of 21st Street so that it can be converted into publicly accessible open space. When renovated, this approximately quarter-acre parcel will provide potential new inland open space and recreational amenities for residents of Queensbridge Houses. NYC Parks will design and construct this new park segment with community input, and it likely will include new landscaping, seating, lighting and other passive or active recreational amenities. Through development of this site’s design, NYC Parks will also work with DOT to develop an MOU to improve access to the adjacent triangular DOT lot (within Block 465, Lot 1, north of Queensboro Bridge Upper Roadway entrance/west of 21st Street) with the intention of including this area into a consolidated open space for Queensbridge residents. The design process will be conducted in coordination with the design of other parcels under the Queensboro Bridge.

11	Develop new public open space under the Queensboro Bridge	DOT, Parks	2031	The City will make best efforts to relocate and consolidate Parks operations and complete the open space by end of 2031	$95 million, for relocation of City operations and construction of open space	Currently the City-owned sites below the Queensboro Bridge are utilized by DOT and Parks for critical agency operations, including maintaining local parks and natural areas and community gardens citywide, emergency response, materials delivery and maintenance, support for citywide traffic signal operations, specialized repairs which support moveable bridges along Newtown Creek, and lubrication and inspection platform operations for the East River. Much of the land under the bridge from Vernon Boulevard to 11th Street, and immediately north of the bridge from Vernon Boulevard to 21st Street previously was the site of Queensbridge Baby Park. The City will relocate and consolidate Parks operations to permanently restore approximately 4 acres of public park and open space. The City will allocate funds to relocate operations to existing City-owned property, acquiring new sites only when absolutely necessary, which will facilitate the following: Consolidation of Parks District 1 & 2 Operations from the area beneath the bridge approximately between Vernon Boulevard and 9th Street. Relocation of Parks’ Green Thumb and Natural Resource Group operations from the area beneath and immediately north of the bridge approximately between 9th and 11th Streets. The relocation site(s) will be centrally located to the communities each Parks program serves. Collectively, these changes, along with the open space created by relocating the NYCHA Parking Lot, and the Construction of Queensbridge Baby Park at 21st Street will create approximately 4 acres of publicly accessible open space.

12	Renew Queensbridge Park	Parks		Design to start in FY28	$30 million	Queensbridge Park is the closest park for the 7,000 residents of Queensbridge Houses, the largest public housing development in the country. The park’s prime east river location, amazing waterfront views, and mix of passive and active recreational amenities have made it a beloved and well used community anchor. Throughout the OneLIC public engagement process, Queensbridge Park stood out as a vital community asset in need of improvements. Large portions of this park have not seen significant investments in 20 years and many of the amenities are over ten years old and show signs of heavy use. NYC Parks will upgrade and improve this park’s facilities. Concentrated investment and reconstruction could create a truly transformational impact for Queensbridge residents. Pending community input and buy in, the proposed scope may include improvements such as: -Building a new playground and adult fitness equipment -Providing improvements to the park’s field and court areas -Improving and expanding pathways to create future waterfront connections -Building a state-of-the-art destination water play area -Improving and upgrading park lighting -Reconstructing and upgrading accessibility of the restroom facilities	Parks and Waterfront Open Space	Tara Duvivier	Jessica Sechrist (Co-Chair) Christina Kaul (Co-Chair) Tannia Chavez Doria Wood Tasnia Rashed

26	Advance development at 44-36 Vernon Boulevard and 4-99 44th Drive	NYCPS, EDC, SCA	2028	The City will commence relocation efforts for the New York City Public Schools (NYCPS) uses in 2026. Upon identification of a viable relocation strategy, the City through EDC will issue an RFP (or multiple RFPs) for these sites by 2028.	$50 million for site prep	New York City Public Schools (NYCPS) currently occupies a six-story buildng at 44-36 Vernon Boulevard (Block 488, Lot 1, and Block 489, Lot 1) and portions of the adjacent lot at 4-99 44th Drive (Block 488, Lot 15, and Block 489, Lot 23). The building at 44-36 Vernon Boulevard is nearly 700,000 square feet and is currently used by NYCPS for storage and warehousing space, office workstations, and trade shops for several divisions serving the five boroughs. 4-99 44th Drive is used in part by NYCPS for parking to serve employees and operations at 44-36 Vernon Boulevard. Other portions of the site are vacant with a degraded shoreline. To achieve multiple OneLIC goals, including mixed-use housing, new job-creating commercial uses, community facilities, and waterfront open space, the City, led by the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC), will advance redevelopment of 4-99 44th Drive and 44-36 Vernon Boulevard. By 2028, NYCEDC will release a Request for Proposals (RFP) for 4-99 44th Drive for mixed-income housing as well as potential accessory commercial and community facility uses, to the extent those uses are financially feasible. Additional site prep and infrastructure needs for the site include, but are not limited to: off-street parking for NYCPS operations at 44-36 Vernon Boulevard a new public street on Block 488 and Block 489 environmental remediation work combined sewer work marine infrastructure off-street parking for NYCPS operations at 44-36 Vernon Boulevard waterfront open space in compliance with the Waterfront Access plan Drawing on the findings from a Request for Information (RFI) issued in 2025, the City will continue to explore the potential for a financially feasible adaptive re-use of all or a portion of the building at 44-36 Vernon Boulevard. Such portions of 44-36 Vernon Boulevard that are not adaptively reused could be redeveloped as mixed-income housing with accessory commercial and community facility uses, to the extent those uses are financially feasible. The future redevelopment of this site is also contingent on the relocation of over 1,000 NYCPS employees who currently work out of this building. The School Construction Authority (NYCSCA) will take steps to identify potential sites that can accommodate these relocated uses, with the intention of advancing a phased relocation from the building at 44-36 Vernon Boulevard in the coming years. The City will keep local stakeholders, including the Council Member, informed on progress towards this commitment and will consult with the Council Member as the process moves forward. The goals and parameters of a future RFP for the building at 44-36 Vernon Boulevard will be informed by feedback from local stakeholders and the Council Member. Prior to selection, the City will provide a briefing to the Council Member that is a blind summary of the RFP responses.

38	Create an intermodal hub at the 21st Street Station	DOT	2028	Design to begin 2028-2029	$13 million	The major transit hub at the intersection of 21st Street and 41st Avenue has a busy subway station and some of the busiest bus stops in Queens. It is crucial to create a safer and more accessible route to the rest of the neighborhood for Queensbridge Houses residents. Current operational and Street Improvement Project (SIP) measures installed by the NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) will be supplanted with capital construction to create stronger, safer pedestrian spaces. As 21st Street is wide and has a designated parking lane, it will be feasible to add pedestrian space and maintain operations for the multiple bus routes that use this intersection. The project is scoped to include: - Capitally constructed bus bulbs to provide additional space for passengers as well as improve circulation around the subway station entrances - Feasibility study of the addition of a signal at 21st Street and Queens Plaza North - Secure bicycle parking facilities - Passenger amenities such as street furniture - Median construction and curb extensions, where feasible, to enhance pedestrian safety for bus and train riders to alight, transfer, and exit. - Removal of leftover pedestrian signal pole and relocation of existing wayfinding signage to increase sidewalk space.

41	Improve pedestrian safety at the Queensboro Bridge landing	DOT	2026	Winter 2026		Building on the conversion of the Queensboro Bridge’s south outer roadway into a pedestrian-only path, DOT will deliver additional improvements at both approaches to the bridge in Queens and Manhattan. The Queens work includes: - Construction of a new concrete landing, pedestrian sidewalk connection to 27th Street, median and traffic signal at Crescent Street - A new crossing that connects Crescent Street on both the north/south sides of the bridge - Updated signage and markings plans on the north outer roadway and at the entrances to pedestrian paths - Shortened crossing distance across Queens Plaza - Signal timing changes	Street Safety and Transportation	Kieran Micka-Maloy	Anatole Ashraf (Chair) Corey Hannigan Faizan Rashid Jeffrey Escobar
42	Invest in improvements to the 44th Drive corridor	DOT	2028	Design to begin 2028-2029	$30 million	44th Drive is a vital east-west connector for pedestrians, transit riders, bicyclists, and freight accessing the waterfront, Vernon Boulevard, and the Queens Waterfront Greenway. 44th Drive represents an excellent opportunity for continued improvements, as a wide street with only one travel lane in each direction, direct subway access, and bike ridership that comprises up to 25% of all vehicles along the corridor. DOT capital treatments on this corridor will prioritize shortened pedestrian crossings, safe pedestrian refuges, and bicyclists being able to safely travel through large intersections. This corridor’s designation as a future truck route requires capital treatments compliant with DOT standards for trucks to safely move through and turn off this street, while maintaining the safety of existing high volumes of bicyclists and pedestrians. This multi-faceted project will improve pedestrian and bicycle safety on the busy corridor of 44th Drive while enabling better operations for a future truck route, including a raised sidewalk-level bike lane with curb extensions and bus bulbs.
