DESCRIPTION:The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) today announced details of a public comment period of the tolling structure that has been proposed for Central Business District Tolling\, New York’s congestion pricing program. The agency will accept written and audio comments starting tomorrow and will hold four hybrid virtual/in-person public hearings in February and March. \nThe proposed tolling structure is available online. It is modeled on recommendations made by the Traffic Mobility Review Board on Nov. 30. \nFrom Wednesday\, Dec. 27\, 2023\, through Monday\, March 11\, 2024\, members of the public may submit written comments online and by email\, mail and fax\, and may submit audio comments by leaving a voicemail message. All comments will be recorded and submitted for review. \nOnline: https://contact.mta.info/s/forms/CBDTP\nEmail: cbdtp.feedback@mtabt.org\nMail: CBD Tolling Program\, 2 Broadway\, 23rd Floor\, New York\, NY 10004\nPhone: 646-252-7440\nFax: Send to (212) 504-3148 with Attention to CBDTP Team. \nThe hearings begin on Thursday\, Feb. 29\, and conclude on Monday\, March 4. Members of the public who wish to speak at the hearings are required to register in advance online\, by calling the Public Hearing Hotline at (646) 252-6777\, or in person. Registration will open one week before the start time of each hearing and will close 30 minutes after the beginning of the hearing. Speakers will be provided two minutes to speak. The hearings will be hosted in person at 2 Broadway\, New York\, NY 10004 in the William J. Ronan 20th Floor Board Room. People may also register to participate remotely via Zoom or telephone. \nThe hearings will be accessible online at mta.info/CBDTP at these dates and times: \n\nThursday\, Feb. 29\, at 6:00 p.m.\nFriday\, March 1\, at 10:00 a.m.\nMonday\, March 4\, at 10:00 a.m.\nMonday\, March 4\, at 6:00 p.m.\n\nEach public hearing will be livestreamed on the MTA YouTube channel at youtube.com/@mta-live and on the project website: mta.info/CBDTP. \nNext Steps \nThe Central Business District Tolling Program was mandated by the State of New York in April 2019 and modeled on urban congestion pricing programs around the world to reduce traffic congestion and raise needed revenue to improve public transportation. Other cities around the world that have similar programs have also experienced improved air quality. \nFollowing the public comment period\, MTA Bridges and Tunnels (known legally as the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority) will review the public comments. Then its Board\, which is coterminous with the MTA Board\, will consider adopting a ratemaking regulation that includes any updates that may follow the public comment period. \nAs with any proposed toll ratemaking\, this  public comment period is being conducted in accordance with the State Administrative Procedure Act. \nAccessibility and Interpreter Services \nAt the public hearings\, American Sign Language and CART Captioning Services will be available. \nMembers of the public who are deaf or hard of hearing can use their preferred relay service or the free 711 relay service\, and then ask to be connected to the Public Hearing Hotline at (646) 252-6777 to speak with an agent. \nMembers of the public who do not have access to a computer or who do not have access to the Internet can listen to each of the hearings by calling the Zoom meeting via a telephone number which will be provided at a later date. \nIf language assistance or any other accommodations are required\, please submit a request at least five (5) business days before the scheduled hearing date in one of the following ways: e-mailing cbdtp.feedback@mtabt.org\, calling the Public Hearing Hotline at (646) 252-6777\, or by sending a letter to MTA Government & Community Relations\, Attn: Central Business District Tolling Program Hearings\, 2 Broadway\, 17th Floor\, New York\, NY 10004.

The applicant’s stated purpose for the replacement is to storm harden and protect critical infrastructure for fire suppression at their existing facility in accordance with Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) and New York City (NYC) Building Code flood construction guidelines. The new SWPH (approximately 98 foot wide by 67 foot long) is to be constructed directly northwest of the existing pump house on an existing pile-supported dock and pier system. Subsequent to construction of the new SWPH\, the existing SWPH (approximately 40-foot-wide by 80-foot-long) will be demolished and removed. In addition\, the existing open-top intake structure will be covered in place with steel plates. The new SWPH will consist of an intake structure (approximately 27-foot-long by 24-foot-wide) that meets National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards for fire protection and includes four (4) pre-cast concrete bays\, five (5) intake pumps\, and a double set of intake screens at the seaward side of the four (4) bays. The project includes installation of approximately twelve (12) 18-inch diameter steel piles to support the intake structure and installation of eighty (80) 16-inch diameter and two (2) 18-inch diameter steel piles to support the pump house building. Additional regulated work activities within NYSDEC’s jurisdiction include construction of an intake scour pad (~1\,101 square feet) and associated rip rap and maintenance of the existing dock and pier system. To facilitate installation of the intake structure an existing section of the existing timber pier decking will be removed.

SUMMARY:Climate Week Webinar 5: An Island Without Water – Understanding the Inequities to Accessing the Waterfront
DESCRIPTION:It is rare for New Yorkers to understand they live in a city surrounded by water. So many are either unaware of the water or how to access it. This is an unfortunate reality for many young people and families where large new waterfront parks are not the norm. Join us for a conversation that discusses the current inequities in access to useable waterfronts\, how environmental justice communities carry the burden\, and the severe limitations of underdeveloped waterfronts that provide no community benefits and are at significant risk due to climate hazards. We will also explore the physical/mental/social implications of not being able to access these natural\, water-filled\, and inspiring spaces. \n  \nSPEAKERS John Doyle\, President\, City Island Rising Daniel Rannells\, Director of Programs and Operations\, Bronx River Alliance Ben Regas\, Community Organizer\, Waterfront Alliance Arif Ullah\, Executive Director; South Bronx Unite \n  \nMODERATOR Furhana Husani\, Director of Programs and Climate Initiatives\, Waterfront Alliance
