    2. COMMUNITY DISTRICT PROFILE AND LAND USE MAP image image
    3. OVERVIEW OF COMMUNITY DISTRICT Community Board 14 encompasses the Rockaway Peninsula and Broad Channel. It has at least 13 distinct communities, each with its own name, neighborhoods, interests and problems bound together by a common geography and history, which is both written and hidden. From a westerly to easterly direction, we point to Breezy Point, Rockaway Point, Neponsit, Belle Harbor, Rockaway Park, Rockaway Beach, Arverne/Sommerville, Edgemere, Arverne by the Sea, Bayswater , Wavecrest and Far Rockaway and Broad channel Island. The Rockaways is some eleven miles in length and is three quarters of a mile wide. With its multi-ethnic, multi-religious groupings, the concerns of the poor, the aged, the young and needy is often termed a microcosm of New York City. Patterns of housing are equally diverse with evidence of affluence in the western and most eastern sections of the district. And large concentrations of public housing and publicly assisted housing in between. While our District is still recovering from hurricane SANDY it is our belief that with government assistance our many devastated communities will recover and thrive. The board looks forward to the start of the "Downtown Far Rockaway" Plan. The board strongly feels that the CIty of NY needs to do more to prevent drownings on our beaches. The creation of a water safety and swim program for ALL school age children would help save lives. The board also requests more investment in our schools. A gifted and talented program must be located on the Peninsula , and more schools seats must be created to deal with the over crowding in some schools as well as two new schools are needed to provide space for the eventual need due to the Downtown Far Rockaway project and the newly approved development at the old Penninsula Hospital site as well as the anticipated Arverne East project . We are deeply concerned that with all the new housing to be built over 7,000 new units- the flow of traffic will be rendered to a stand still- we only have two east-west roadways and currently traffic during rush hour is diffulclt . With the anticpated housing development and an additional 3500-5000 new cars on the road every day The Department of transportation needs to look at the whole district to assure flow of trafic. FInally the need for more police officers in both the 100 and 101 precints during the beach season is neccesary as well as additional PEP officers to deal with the record breaking beach crowds every summer.
    4. TOP THREE PRESSING ISSUES OVERALL Queens Community Board 14 image The three most pressing issues facing this Community Board are: Infrastructure resiliency Flooding-It has become clear that after hurricane SANDY that protection from flooding is a major concern .communities in our district that face Jamaica Bay are in constant jeopardy from high tides, storm surge and heavy rains. Bulk heads, street raising and storm sewers must be installed along Rockaways northern boarder and through out Broad Channel. Groins/jetties and Beach sand replenishment must be funded. Public Health- With the closing of Peninsula Hospital, St johns hospital has become over crowed and unable to handle the load . A typical wait in the emergency room exceeds 5 hours and a wait for a bed can be over a day this must be delt with . We also have been deeply disappointed in the NYC Dept of health's refusal to implement a program of the spraying/fogging of adulticide to deal with summer mosquito problem. Street Conditions- CB14 has experienced an large increase in summer tourism. This has caused traffic problems through out the district. Our roads remain in poor condition after hurricane SANDY. The expansion of Rockaway Beach blvd from Beach 62-Beach 32/Seagirt Blvd MUST be designed and funded this road way remain dangerous and over used. We also look forward to more Police officers during the summer beach season. Transit (buses & subways) Getting to and from Community board 14 is a Transportation nightmare - We are poorly served by mass transportation- the ferry has helped but does not serve the residents on the East end of the district- we request a AM/PM rush hour express train on the A- 2-3 Rockaway rush express trains to and from Manhattan would drastically reduce the over 1 hour commute. the re opening of the Rockaway rail line would also be a great help. Unemployment Community board 14 has the highest unemployment rate in the Borough of Queens- because of poor transportation and no real job opportunity except for the health care industry. Our residents have to travel long distances to get to job centers. The creation of good local jobs must be a priority image
    5. SUMMARY OF COMMUNITY DISTRICT NEEDS AND BUDGET REQUESTS HEALTH CARE AND HUMAN SERVICES Queens Community Board 14 image M ost Important Issue Related to Health Care and Human Services Services for low-income and vulnerable New Yorkers With the closing of Peninsula hospital health care for the many low income residents has become difficult. image image C ommunity District Needs Related to Health Care and Human Services Needs for Health Care and Facilities The Board would like additional funding for expansion and staffing for primary health care and emergency health care. Ideally the re-opening of Peninsula Hospital in some way would be greatly beneficial to our community Needs for Older NYs Our community board has a large Senior population- The need for more senior centers through out the district is evident Needs for Homeless Community board 14 has over 3000 units of public housing and we have the largest amount of section 8 voucher placements in the Borough of Queens. We have over 5000 nursing and Adult home beds. The Mayor recently opened a homeless shelter as well in our community. We request that the shelter be closed and that the city share the burden of housing our cities unfortunate poor and needy in other Community boards. The City is placing Homeless in the new local Hotel in addition to the shelter that the city opened . We also have the highest section 8 voucher placements in Queens the City must stop placing those in need in our communities it is destabilizing our neighborhoods Needs for Low Income NYs Our biggest needs in this category is primary health care and job training and economic development to create jobs in our district. image Capital Requests Related to Health Care and Human Services Priority Agency Request Explanation Location image CS HHC Provide a new or expanded health care facility Provide funding for the expansion of St Johns Hospital Expense Requests Related to Health Care and Human Services Priority Agency Request Explanation Location 6/26 DOHMH Reduce mosquito populations Every spring and summer the communities along Jamaica bay suffer from Mosquito issues YOUTH, EDUCATION AND CHILD WELFARE Queens Community Board 14 image M ost Important Issue Related to Youth, Education and Child Welfare Educational attainment While our schools are improving more needs to be done- Need for gifted and talented school on east end image image C ommunity District Needs Related to Youth, Education and Child Welfare Needs for Youth Education Modernization of schools in District is necessary - Computers, smart boards in every classroom Needs for Youth and Child Welfare No comments image Capital Requests Related to Youth, Education and Child Welfare The Community Board did not submit any Budget Requests in this category.
