Survey: CB11 Retail Needs/Wants

Submitted by pablo on Thu, 01/14/2010 - 7:04pm.

East Harlem has a strong retail business base.  However, a report in 2004 found that the local retail stores only capture 17% of the potential business in the community.  This means that a large portion of money is being spent outside the community.  

 

The purpose of this survey is to help Community Board 11 find out why people shop in East Harlem or why residents choose to shop elsewhere. Community Board 11 is also interested in knowing what stores and services are lacking.   This information will allow the Community Board to make more informed decisions based around the community's needs.

Polling For Justice Survey 

 

Manhattan Community Board 11 and the Youth & Education Committee are supporting this effort and encourage everyone to fill out the survey and pass it on to friends and family.  

 

"We are a group of NYC youth and adult researchers who want to know what NYC youth think about health, education, safety, violence and the criminal justice system. There are over 50 young people working on Polling for Justice, and this is our chance to get our voice heard by lawmakers, city officials, researchers, educators and administrators.

We created a survey for NYC youth, ages 16 - 19. This summer we are getting over 5,000 NYC youth to take the survey! The more young people who respond the more powerful our voice will be, so please join us in our fight for justice! IT TAKES 40 - 50 MINUTES TO COMPLETE, and everyone who takes the survey gets a FREE MOVIE TICKET!"

The East 125th Street Development - formerly Uptown NY - is approaching the final stages of community review. A special community-based taskforce has being working on the details of the project for over two years.

Details of the RFP and related materials will be up on this website soon. If you require immediate information feel free to contact the Board Office (212-831-8929/30) or Councilmember Melissa Mark-Viverito's Office (212-828-9800).

 

The East 125th Street Development has now been certified and is officially in the City review process called ULURP. Manhattan Community Board 11 must comment on this project by June 2, 2008. In anticipation of this date, the Community Board will be holding a number of hearings and meetings. In addition, the East 125th Street Taskforce will also be holding public meetings and hearings. There are also plans for a joint town hall meeting, more details will follow shortly.

 

Manhattan Community Board 11 has sent a letter to Deputy Mayor Robert Lieber and Councilmember Melissa Mark-Viverito asking that the ULURP application be withdrawn. The letter is attached for your convenience (See Attachment: Viverito-Lieber East 125th Street ULURP).
