Working with Business Improvement Districts (BIDs), Community Based Organizations (CBOs), and local businesses, Neighborhood Commons is leveraging public space initiatives surrounding commercial corridors to support local economies, develop representative place-based governance models for NYC streets as public space, and produce a guide of better practices for both the Citys and community partners stewardship of public spaces.This year, our team conducted a comprehensive research process that encompassed a review of citywide policies impacting public space use and management, as well as stakeholder engagement with business improvement districts and other place-based organization leaders across 12 neighborhoods. In 2022, Design Trust will release a toolkit of policy recommendations and pilot projects to test out these proposals for best public space governance practices. 94053 Opening the EdgeIn Phase III of Opening the Edge, weve been continuing the development of a lively public space at the Lillian Wald Houses on the Lower East Side, which could be replicated at other NYCHA developments. The pandemic may have slowed some things down, but most of all, it showed us how vital public spaces are for communities who don't have access to parks and open spaces. Over the past year, weve been working with our team of residents, fellows and Davies Toews Architects on finalizing the design of the new park space. We held 4 Community Design Team meetings, plus one for youth to explore materials, bench shapes, and layouts. The latest design features a raised platform for performances or classes, grassy pavers and unique benches. In the meantime, the space has been host to community design team meetings and awareness-raising events with neighbors, including the Lighting the Edge art installation. Designed by Community Design Team member and now Fellow Mollie Serena, Lighting the Edge was a temporary art fixture of colored plexiglass pieces hung on the fence surrounding our future Opening the Edge site to highlight the fence itself, engage neighbors and beautify the space. The event featured local DJs Matthew Hall and Mas Corazon as well as performances by singer Jade Altamirano, whose mother is a member of the Community Design Team. 42361 80420 2152235 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true false true false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 57 0 true 11 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 23 23 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false NY X X TRACY ENGLISH 2126952432 40 WORTH STREET SUITE 603 NEW YORK NY 10013 MATTHEW CLARKE Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 147000 0 14229 DOMINIC RAMOS-RUIZ vice chair 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MARC HEIMAN Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PAULA MUELLER Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANN HARAKAWA Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 THEODORE S BERGER Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MATTHEW CASPER Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 R DARBY CURTIS AIA Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SLOAN LEO Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PAUL GANGSEI JD Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GRANT MARANI AIA FRAIA Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ERIC GURAL Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KATIE SCHWAB Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ZACK MCKOWN FAIA Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ERIC ROTHMAN Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 EVE KLEIN ASSOCIATE AIA chair 6.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 SUCHI REDDY Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANDY WILEY-SCHWARTZ Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BARBARA WILKS FAIA FASLA Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ALASTAIR C ELLIOT PE Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JEAN-GABRIEL NEUKOMM Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GUSTAVO RODRIGUEZ AIA CODIA Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 147000 14229 1 false true false 0 172098 210761 518607 901466 PUBLICATION & PROGRAM FEE 519200 80420 80420 80420 125 125 0 0 0 0 41400 172098 103939 -62539 0 0 0 919472 80420 125 X 0 0 0 0 147000 83790 27930 35280 0 617376 350939 115639 150798 0 107516 61148 20194 26174 94557 53897 17966 22694 0 0 0 0 0 0 728280 560776 152938 14566 1948 1948 33912 13565 8478 11869 0 0 39644 27751 4361 7532 26091 8871 16437 783 0 0 0 0 2423 1696 267 460 0 EVENT AND EXHIBIT EXPENSES 705551 617944 87607 FELLOWSHIP AWARDS 233038 233038 Lease Expense 129089 90362 14200 24527 COMMUNICATION EXPENSES 29495 25071 1180 3244 37834 23387 5235 9212 2933754 2152235 386773 394746 1199258 143409 0 1100778 268368 0 0 0 0 0 104653 39667 66068 60274 2889 5794 0 0 0 0 8766 861839 2416344 1319077 49400 46027 2500 923930 51900 969957 X 346268 -85982 2018176 435102 2364444 349120 2416344 1319077 -2014282 -1042 X false true X true false X 932316 1001095 916105 1230092 901466 4981074 0 0 932316 1001095 916105 1230092 901466 4981074 1280725 3700349 17 17 506 125 665 0 0 4981739 113651 0.74280 0.76360 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 31198 25404 5794 34870 34870 5794 right of use assets- operating leases 841331 SECURITY DEPOSITS 20508 861839 Operating lease liability 923930 923930 918430 -1042 -1042 919472 919472 2933754 2933754 2933754 X X X X X X X false NY FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN 213498 172098 41400 103939 213498 172098 41400 103939 103939 -62539 true X X X X X false false false false false false false false false MATTHEW CLARKE Executive Dir. 147000 14229 161229 Form 990, Part III, Line 4d OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Opening the EdgeIn Phase III of Opening the Edge, weve been continuing the development of a lively public space at the Lillian Wald Houses on the Lower East Side, which could be replicated at other NYCHA developments.
