Description: "For 30 years, the Broadway Mall Association (BMA) has worked to beautify and maintain the malls. Initially founded as a community organization in 1980 by Eugene Hide to address the neglect of the malls stemming from the City’s fiscal crisis of the 1970s, the BMA became a not-for-profit organization in 1987. Today, BMA remains committed to carrying out Eugene Hide’s vision of the Broadway malls as a beautiful stretch of greenery uniting the diverse neighborhoods along Broadway."

Description: "Currently, multiple agencies are accountable for managing New York City’s public realm ... We need a new way to integrate our thinking on these critical areas. Our public spaces are better when we think about them together. APSL proposed creating a new Office of the Public Realm that would have a role in decision-making around public works projects, maintenance of the public realm, and the design and function of public space. We enthusiastically support the Mayor’s announcement to create this critical position. New York needs this citywide facilitation to foster effective coordination, allowing individual departments and agencies to do their best work to ensure we all have equitable access to space and resources."
