Program areas at OpenPlans
We began 2022 with a new mayor, and eric adams immediately set out to inspire economic recovery by appointing a "new new york" panel. Open plans was invited to meet with the panel to make recommendations, and when the report was released, our impact was clear. The set of recommendations included several items on open plans' own agenda, and clearly centered livability as vital to social and economic well-being. It was gratifying to see open plans' leadership acknowledged and encouraging to see the city commit to livable streets in its strategic planning.continued on schedule o.open plans also looked toward the future with a new focus on the experience of young new yorkers. Streetsblog's jesse coburn published a bombshell investigative report, proving with data that streets near schools are far more dangerous than the city average. While parents and kids already know this they experience it every day the piece got the attention of elected officials and won jesse a silurian award. Streetfilms released an in-depth film on kids' experiences getting to school. (producer clarence eckerson, jr. also won a prestigious award from the un honoring his work over the last two decades!). Uptown, streetopia upper west side made a direct impact at three schools, securing desperately needed containerized trash at two buildings in morningside heights and helping an elementary school organize and apply for dot's school streets program. All this energy around advocating for students inspired open plans' advocacy to launch its own dedicated campaign for schools and school streets citywide.schools were not the only new arena for open plans. In 2022, we also began to focus on community-based education through community boards. Sensing that many new yorkers didn't understand what these boards were or how they impact neighborhoods, our advocacy team got to work providing education and practical resources. We published a set of model resolutions for street safety and livability; we're proud to say that community boards across the city immediately began using them to create positive change in their districts. These types of projects, which give new yorkers the tools to become their own advocates, have long-lasting ripple effects in communities.
