“FAIR FARES”
REDUCED FAIR
METROCARD CAMPAIGN
New report finds 1 in 4
low-income New Yorkers
can’t afford MetroCards;
an estimated 800,000
riders would be eligible
for a half-price fare for
lowest-income New
Yorkers, saving those
who opt to participate
up to $700 per year
On the heels of a new report
showing that 1 in 4 low-income
New Yorkers cannot afford to
use public transportation, prominent local advocates Community
Service Society and Riders Alliance announced a new campaign
to win “Fair Fares,” a campaign
for reduced-fare MetroCards that
would be available to the city’s
working poor.
The rally last week comes as
Community Service Society of
New York (CSS), a research and
advocacy organization that works
to spur upward mobility for lowincome New Yorkers, releases a
new report, “The Transit
Affordability Crisis.” The report
finds that over a quarter of lowincome New Yorkers were often
unable to afford the subway or bus
in the past year, limiting many
New Yorkers’ opportunities to get
good jobs and affordable housing
and, in many cases, forcing them
to choose between transit and other
necessities. CSS’s most recent
citywide survey, the Unheard
Third, found that that the consequences were especially severe for
low-income working age blacks
and Latinos, with 31 percent of
African-Americans and 43 percent
of Latinos reporting that the cost of
MTA fares kept them from looking for or taking a job further from
the neighborhoods where they live.

WELCOMING
A NEW PREZ
by Patricia Dorfman
Sunnyside Chamber’s outgoing President Rigo Cardoso of
Pronto Car Service, now Treasurer,
turned the non-profit‘s reins over
to Manny Gomez April 12, in a
cordial election luncheon at Dazies
Restaurant. Manny Gomez had
been active as VP, working on the
Luke Adams Sunnysider of the
Year, Skillman Street Festival,
Casino and other events, Sabba
Lighting, and was even seen pitching local florists with green carnations at 6:15AM at a Queens Blvd.
“To keep our ‘small town in the
big city’ survive as long as it can,
all of us can help by spending our
dollars in Sunnyside/Woodside,
and giving respect and real support
to each other,” said Manny, who
supports passage of the Small Business Jobs Survival Act.
Gomez sells annuities and insurance, and is en route to handle
residential mortgages. He is original from Vergara, near Bogota,
Colombia and moved here in 1984.
Gomez is also president of
Sunnyside Artists, active in Queens
of Angels Church, which along
with Phyzique Gym he credits his
recovery from almost losing his
leg in a 2011 trampoline accident.
Manny was told he would never
walk again, but anyone who has
seen him racing around town or
dancing, knows he survived that
hurdle and became stronger.
Joining Gomez on the board
are some heavy hitters, Rich Bundy
of Phyzique Gym, Christian
Murray of the Sunnysidepost and
four other newssites, and former
chamber president and Chase manager Mark Stroubus of NY Style
Eats. Continuing as VP’s are
Lowery Liquor’s Anthony Lodati,
Frances Schmidt of Sunnyside
Artists, Real Estate Biz Owner
Dorothy Morehead, and past president consultant Rebecca Barker.
Melissa Orlando of Sunnyside
Ballet conducted the election as
Secretary and remains in that role.

Rep. Joe Crowley (D-Queens, the Bronx), Vice Chair of the Democratic Caucus, issued the following statement on Equal Pay Day, which
reflects how far into the current year women must work to match what men
earned in the previous year. Crowley is a co-sponsor of the Paycheck
Fairness Act, which strengthens the Equal Pay Act and helps to ensure
women everywhere will earn a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work. “Gender
pay inequity directly affects women. But, let’s be clear, it also affects
families and our society as a whole. It is unfathomable that in 2016, men’s
and women’s salaries have yet to reach parity. The consequences of this
wage gap extend far beyond the here and now. Lower pay today means
fewer savings down the road, leading to greater economic insecurity in
retirement. We owe it to the women of our country to fix this problem once
and for all. House Democrats will continue fighting for equal pay in order
to give women the compensation and respect they deserve. On this Equal
Pay Day, we recommit to making equal pay for equal work a reality.”

“FAIR FARES”
REDUCED
FAIR
METROCARD
CAMPAIGN
At Sunday’s rally, CSS and
members of the Riders Alliance, a
grassroots membership organization of subway and bus riders, announced the release of the study
and called for Mayor Bill de Blasio
and the City Council to establish a
program that would allow riders
below the federal poverty level to
purchase half-fare MetroCards.
The new study, “The Transit
Affordability Crisis,” principally
authored by CSS Senior Labor
Economist Harold Stolper, uses
data collected through CSS’s scientific survey to document the
heavy burden that transit fares
place on the already strained budgets of low-income New Yorkers,
and the consequences of this burden on their daily lives. The report complements this data-driven
analysis with low-income riders’
own stories of hardship to demonstrate that the high—and increasing—cost of a MetroCard makes
public transportation inaccessible
to New York’s neediest riders.
According to the study, low-income riders are the most “transit
dependent” of any New York
population, with fully 58 percent
relying on the subway or bus. For
these individuals, the cost of a
MetroCard makes up 10 percent
of their budget, forcing many riders to make tough choices between transit and other necessities, limiting their access to economic opportunity.
“The Transit Affordability Crisis” describes how other large cities—including Seattle, San Francisco, and London— have eased
the burden on low-income fami-
lies through fare discount programs,
and introduces a similar fare discount proposal for low-income subway and bus riders on the MTA.
A half-fare discount program
targeted to poor New Yorkers
would save those who take advantage of it as much as $700 a year off
the cost of 12 monthly passes. An
estimated 800,000 adults would be
eligible for the reduced fares. The
number of eligible individuals who
ultimately participate in the program will depend heavily on how
the program is designed and implemented, but assuming a take-up
rate among regular subway and
bus users comparable to that for
benefits like food stamps, the study
estimates that 361,000 riders would
participate at a cost of roughly $194
million a year in foregone farebox
revenue. Several possible sources
of additional revenue for the MTA
are suggested to offset lost revenue
in order to avoid the need to raise
fares for other riders to cover the
cost of the discounts.
BILL REQUIRING MAP
OF WATER OUTAGES
On April 7th, Majority Leader
Van Bramer introduced a bill,
Int. 1156, requiring the Department of Environmental Protection to provide online notice of
current and planned water outages. This legislation, drafted in
response to a constituent complaint, will keep New York City
residents informed of water outages in their neighborhoods.
DEP currently provides notice of planned water outages via
paper flyers, but these signs frequently become damaged or blow
away. Additionally, paper signs
are inefficient at informing residents of unplanned outages. This
legislation requires that DEP provide a map, updated at least daily,
with information on current and
planned water outages for each

city block. To the extent possible, the map will also include a
start time and expected end time
for each outage.
“If the water goes out on your
block, you should have easy access to information about why—
and when you can expect it to
come back on,” said Majority
Leader Jimmy Van Bramer. “It’s
a quality of life issue. It’s not
difficult or complicated for DEP
to provide this data to New York
City residents, but it’s incredibly
frustrating to turn on the tap, have
no water come out, and not be able
to find any more information.”
Council Member Costa
Constantinides, Chair of the Council Environmental Protection Committee, said, “An online map of
water outages throughout our city
will ensure that all residents are
informed about interruptions to
their water delivery. This bill will
reduce confusion and help improve
quality of life. I commend Majority Leader Van Bramer for his leadership on this important issue.”
“The City has a responsibility
to keep the public informed of
events that have the potential to
disrupt their daily lives,” said
Deputy Leader James Vacca, Chair
of the New York City Council
Committee on Technology. “Being without running water is a huge
inconvenience. In the case of
planned outages, it’s a no-brainer
to have this information online and
available ahead of time. In the case
of unplanned outages, it’s critical
that status updates be made available as quickly as possible.”

DUTCH KILLS
PLAYGROUND
It is also a community hub, with
children, adults, and seniors frequenting the park’s play areas and
sports facilities. The Dutch Kills
Playground has not undergone
major updates in almost 20 years.
“This park is a hub of the Dutch
Kills Community,” said Majority
Leader Jimmy Van Bramer at the
rain-soaked event. “Our children
come to this playground every day,
and they deserve a modern, up-todate park to use during recess,
gym class, and with their families
and neighbors on the weekends.
Our parks and public spaces are an
integral part of the fabric of our
communities. That’s why I’m so
proud to announce this $4.5 million in funding—so that Dutch
Kills can have the modern, up-todate park our community deserves.”
Dutch Kills residents are invited to a community meeting next
Monday, April 18th at 6:00pm at
PS 112 to share ideas and voice
opinions about park features and
changes they wish to see with the
new construction.

2015 Taste
WOODSIDE
by David Rosasco
It would be Michael Maye, 8th
grade student at St. Sebastian School,
who would sum up best the capacity of
him and the vast array of youth to
ignore anything that might cause others to cancel their projects, asserting
with a boldness backed by experience
“I’ve been out here in all kinds of
weather, the snow, below freezing,
super-hot days, so a little chilly rain is
not a problem at all”.
His resolve to carry on without
pausing was revealed again during
ongoing mulching operations on Saturday, April 9, with another 25 street
trees mulched along 67th Street between Woodside and Roosevelt Avenues due to the sheer length of this
road and the number of relatively new
street trees.
Simultaneous to this work, another
separate team was tasked to remove
graffiti along 41st Avenue between 67th
and 73rd Street, reaching the border
with Elmhurst in good order before the
rains appeared in force. Edison Sisterna,
NEW ‘MADEINQUEENS’
BOUTIQUE STORE IN LIC
Queens Economic Development Corporation is looking for
vendors to participate in a boutique pop-up shop and tourism center that the agency will open in
Long Island City in June 2016.
Dubbed “MiQ” as an abbreviation of “MadeinQueens,” the new
retail store will offer local and small
batch artisan products, handmade
crafts, designer goods, house wares,
and packaged food items. The shop,
located at 27-24 Queens Plaza
South, will also provide information on tourism, entertainment, and
restaurant options in the borough.
It will be open Tuesday through
Sunday from 11 am until 8 pm.
MiQ will host a rotating selec-
tion of items as per a monthly curatorial theme, and merchants will get
30-square-foot display areas. Online
sales are planned in the near future
(website www.madeinqueens.nyc ).
Long Island City resident
Michael Darouiche, a native of
Lebanon who makes customized,
handmade jewelry through his company De Dandy, has already agreed
to participate. Other expected vendors will include an artisan leather
crafter, a t-shirt designer, and various food and beverage makers from
the Entrepreneur Space, a commercial kitchen that QEDC operates in Long Island City.
“In our constant efforts to generate economic development, we
have noticed that many entrepreneurs simply need a place to sell
their products,” said QEDC Executive Director Seth Bornstein.
“MiQ solves this problem, and
since it’s located in a booming
neighborhood, we hope to get a
constant stream of foot traffic.”
Rent is $600 for two weeks or
$1,000 for four weeks. For now,
only New York State-based companies can participate and Queens
manufacturers get priority consideration. For more information, try

12 grade student at the Youth Leadership Academy and long-time member
of the team, remarked “As long as we
stayed ahead of the rain, we could remove any graffiti we saw, and even
stretch the project area without worry.”
The work of the small hours completed, another gathering of youth and
missionaries from The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints appeared in
the afternoon hours to stabilize two
particular street trees on 63rd Street and
Woodside Avenue, and on 64th Street
between Woodside and Roosevelt
Avenues respectively, despite the intensity of the rain in order to save these
wounded trees.
Meanwhile, yet another subgroup
was tasked with cleaning operations
along Roosevelt Avenue from 61st to
69th Streets, and, upon their completion of that task, rejoined the main
body of youth in the final minutes of
the tree work, with Alexis Melendez,
7th grade student at St. Sebastian School
observing “It’s cold, but I don’t want
to leave until everything is completed.”
