SUMMARY:Climate Week NYC 2024
DESCRIPTION:Climate Week NYC\, the biggest annual climate event of its kind\, is back on September 22 – 29. \nThe event takes place every year in partnership with the United Nations General Assembly and is run in coordination with the United Nations and the City of New York.

SUMMARY:NuHart Site Cleanup Virtual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The NYSDEC is accepting written comments about the proposed plan\, for 30 days\, from March 25 through April 24\, 2024. \nThe major development is that excavation at the site has gone as deep as the current setup of the site will allow and there is still contamination of phthalates an estimated 4-5 feet below what has already been excavated. Along with the MRC\, DEC is proposing to allow a procedure called “In-Situ Solidification” or “ISS” which essentially mixes contaminated soil with concrete. The original decision had called for removal of all of the contaminants which the DEC has now deemed not feasible. Because of this change\, there has to be an amendment to the Record of Decision which will trigger a 30-day public comment period and a formal meeting during that time. \nWe have been informed that while public comment begins today\, “The ISS for the whole site is complete.”

A few days after the hearing\, a transcript of the hearing and copies of the written comments will be available to the public at CECM. \nWhat authorizes CECM to make this rule? Section 1043 of the City Charter\, Local Law 8 of 2021\, as well as Executive Order No. 105 of 2007 authorize CECM to make this proposed rule.  This proposed rule was not included in CECM’s regulatory agenda for this Fiscal Year because it was not contemplated when CECM published the agenda. \nWhere can I find the CECM rules?  The CECM rules are in title 50 of the Rules of the City of New York. \nWhat rules govern the rulemaking process? CECM must meet the requirements of Section 1043 of the City Charter when creating or changing rules. This notice is made according to the requirements of Section 1043 of the City Charter. \nStatement of Basis and Purpose of Proposed Rule\nSection 19-107.1 of the Administrative Code\, as added by Local Law 55 of 2021\, requires the Department of Transportation (DOT) to promulgate rules for the Open Streets Program. Pursuant to its rules\, DOT has authorized the Mayor’s Office of Citywide Event Coordination and Management (CECM)\, which oversees the Street Activity Permit Office (SAPO)\, to promulgate rules relating to the issuance of an Open Streets event permit for activities taking place on a designated Open Street. \nOpen Street Event\nThe permanent Open Street Program allows for various activities on Open Streets designated by DOT and encourages local businesses and schools to embrace these new public spaces. These proposed SAPO rules would maximize opportunities for the public to hold events on Open Street locations while also ensuring that the City has advance notice of all Open Street activity so that events may happen in an orderly fashion while also ensuring that the Open Streets remain available for everyday use and enjoyment by the public. In addition\, these proposed rules would govern the issuance of permits to hold events on Open Streets\, including rules regarding submission and processing of event applications\, approval or denial of event applications\, appeals of denials of Open Street event permits and fees for the use of Open Streets. \nCECM’s authority for these rules is found in section 1043 of the New York City Charter\, Local Law 8 of 2021\, and Executive Order Nos. 100 and 105 of 2007\, which established and conferred rulemaking authority upon the Coordinator of Citywide Special Events. \nNew material is underlined. \n[Deleted material is in brackets.]\nAsterisks (***) indicate unamended text. \n“Shall” and “must” denote mandatory requirements and may be used interchangeably in the rules of this department\, unless otherwise specified or unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. \n  \nSection 1. The definition of “Civic event”\, as set forth in Section 1-01 of chapter 1 of title 50 of the Rules of the City of New York\, is amended\, and new definitions of “Open Street\,” “Open street event”\, “Open street partner” and “Open street partner event” are added\, to read as follows: \n    \n“Civic event” means a Plaza\, Open Street\, Open Street Partner or Street event that is sponsored by a documented not-for-profit organization that is open to the public\, may offer free services or information to the community\, and does not have a fundraising component or include the sale of goods or services.

Civic events may not include signs or banners displaying sponsors or supporter logos that exceed ten percent (10%) of the face of the sign or banner.    \n“Open Street” means a street or segment of a street within the jurisdiction of the Department of Transportation\, designated by the Department of Transportation as such\, on which motor vehicle access is controlled by barriers and signage or other traffic calming measures\, and on which priority is given to pedestrians\, individuals using bicycles\, and other non-vehicular street users.  Open Streets may be designated on a variety of street types\, including shared streets. \n“Open street event” means a Street event small\, Street event medium\, Street event large\, Extra-large event or Civic event\, within an Open Street where the activity will interfere with or obstruct the regular use of such Open Street but shall not include activities conducted pursuant to a valid film\, parade or construction permit. \n“Open street partner” means a community organization as defined in section 19-107.1 of the administrative code designated by the Department of Transportation pursuant to such section to manage or assist with the management of an Open Street. \n“Open street partner event” means a Civic event on an Open street for which the applicant is solely the Open street partner for such Open street. \n\n 2.  Paragraph 6 of subdivision c of section 1-03 of chapter 1 of title 50 of the Rules of the City of New York is amended to read as follows:\n\n(6)   plans outlining components of the proposed Street event\, Plaza event\, Open street\, or Open Culture event. \n\n 3.  Subdivisions c\,  g\, i\, and j of section 1-04 of chapter 1 of Title 50 of the Rules of the City of New York are amended to read as follows:\n\n(c)   SAPO will make available applications for Plaza event and Open street event permits to the community board(s) for the community district(s) that encompass(es) the Pedestrian plaza(s) or Open street(s) in which the proposed Plaza or Open street event is to take place and to the Pedestrian plaza partner(s) or Open street partner(s) for the Pedestrian plaza(s) or Open street(s) in which the proposed Plaza event or Open street event is to take place. \n(g)   For Street events\, Block parties\, Farmer’s markets\, Open Culture events\, Clean-ups\, Open street events and for Pedestrian plaza events\, SAPO shall notify the community board in which the proposed event will take place that the application is available for agency review and comment on the [CEMS] Citywide Event Management Systems (“CEMS”) database.
