Neighborhood Assembly for Participatory Budgeting in Windsor Terrace
Thursday, September
27th, 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Windsor Terrace residents, your suggestions are needed on how to spend a million dollars of City Councilmember Brad Lander's budget for capital improvement projects.
The cost of a project has to be at least $35,000. It has to have a “useful life” of at least five years. And it must involve "construction, reconstruction, acquisition, or installation or a physical public improvement."
Possible projects could be
- adding more security cameras and improving lighting in and around subway stations,
- paving roads,
- repairing sidewalks,
- improving street lighting,
- constructing a dog run,
- refurbishing playgrounds,
- providing technology to schools,
- providing technology to libraries, and
- installing tree guards.
Browse ideas that have already been suggested for District 39 on the "Participatory Budgeting in NYC District 39" website (playground renovation, solar trash compactors, speed bumps, benches, etc.).
Submit an idea online, or, better still, submit it at tomorrow night's neighborhood assembly.
The twenty projects that were included on last year's ballot are listed here. The seven projects that won are listed here. Safety, the environment, schools, and a library got the most votes. Below that are five projects that didn't win but got funded by other money in Councilmember Lander's budget.
