Gothamist is a website about New York City news Investment will expand Cornerstone Program at Mariner’s Harbor Houses   Mayor Bill de Blasio and Council Member Debi Rose announced the City would invest $5.7 million to renovate a community center at the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) Mariner’s Harbor Houses on Staten Island The renovated community center will expand the Department of Youth and Community Development’s (DYCD) Cornerstone Program at Mariner’s Harbor Houses providing an additional 150 residents with access to quality community-based programming in two facilities that span more than 5000 square feet The renovation is expected to be completed in early 2020 the Cornerstone Program at Mariner’s Harbor Houses is funded by DYCD and operated by United Activities Unlimited The initiative offers community members a variety of programming determined by residents clothing drives and special events and trips “Community centers are the heart of our neighborhoods and provide a place for all New Yorkers to come together learn and have fun,” said Mayor Bill de Blasio “This renovation will ensure that more residents have access to engaging programs and activities and strengthen the community as a whole.” “I believe there is no greater focus for investment we can make than in our young people we search for solutions for social inequities that result in income inequality unsatisfactory school scores or criminal behavior and lack of investment in youth programming is a common link among them As we conclude Mayor de Blasio's bustling week in our borough I applaud his choice to address that need and to rehabilitate and expand the center at NYCHA's Mariners' Harbor Cornerstone Program.” Mariner’s Harbor residents can reap the full benefits of having a vibrant community center to congregate and play in the heart of their neighborhood This renovation is an investment that will boost togetherness and belonging - the qualities that truly make a place home - for years to come,” said Deputy Mayor for Strategic Policy Initiatives Richard Buery “We know that when our young people have nowhere to go after school they are far more likely to run into trouble with the law” said District Attorney Michael E “This substantial investment into the Mariners Harbor Community Center will provide invaluable programming and most importantly a safe place for the residents of that community to learn & play Investments like these have ripple effects throughout the neighborhood for recognizing that all Staten Islanders need spaces like this to feel safe in their communities.” "I commend Mayor de Blasio and Councilmember Rose for their investment in the renovation of this important program Mariner's Harbor is a community that is farthest away from much of the North Shore development so important upgrades to the community like this ensure the residents are getting the vital services they deserve,” said New York State Senator Diane Savino    “The addition of a renovated center right next to the Cornerstone Program funded by DYCD and operated by United Activities Unlimited will give residents access to even more vital community services and another place to keep them safe and engaged,” said Department of Youth and Community Development Commissioner Bill Chong community centers are more than just a building they are a foundation for our​ neighborhoods,” said NYCHA General Manager Michael Kelly “Investing in Mariner's Harbor Houses to double the current community center space means Staten Island youth will have an expanded area to call their own whether they're receiving help at a computer lab or homework assistance we're moving closer to achieving our NextGen NYCHA goal of creating safe stable and connected communities.” Mariner’s Harbor is one of 94 Cornerstone Programs at NYCHA community centers in all five boroughs the program is a joint NYCHA and DYCD effort to create vibrant multi-generational community centers on NYCHA developments that are responsive to local needs and improve quality of life and well-being of neighborhood residents This investment is a part of the Administration’s ongoing efforts to build stronger neighborhoods through enhanced community engagement and expanded programming for NYCHA residents Mayor de Blasio pledged $1 million to help build a community center at NYCHA Marcy Houses Mayor de Blasio expanded summer hours at 107 community centers in NYCHA developments so that they remain open until 11 P.M The later hours provide young people with a safe space for recreation and learning pressoffice@cityhall.nyc.gov(212) 788-2958 The North Shore Land Use and Transportation Study was initiated at the recommendation of the Mayor’s Growth Management Task Force in 2008 as part of the city’s continuing efforts to preserve the neighborhood character of the borough’s lower density neighborhoods while balancing the needs of the working waterfront The Kill Van Kull waterfront is home to many historic communities and also the largest concentration of tugboats dry docks and barges serving all of New York Harbor City Planning and the Economic Development Corporation have partnered to conduct a comprehensive land use and transportation study to identify opportunities for expanding maritime businesses and job creation providing waterfront public access and addressing environmental challenges Through extensive public engagement and partnerships with City and State agencies local elected officials and civic representatives the study will create a consensus framework to guide public and private land use and capital investment decisions for the next 20 years The study area stretches five miles along the Kill Van Kull waterfront from the New York Container Terminal to the St George Ferry terminal and south from the waterfront to Forest Avenue A number of historic neighborhoods are located in the study area including Arlington The North Shore is twice as dense as the rest of Station Island with 67,000 residents and 25,000 housing units and its working waterfront is home to the largest concentration of maritime support services in the New York Harbor including businesses such as Caddell Dry Dock the North Shore has been defined by its key assets – the Kill Van Kull the North Shore Rail (ROW) and the historic neighborhoods and maritime businesses located along these interlocking corridors these assets are not functioning to their full potential and the study area faces several challenges: Richmond Terrace is the major east-west traffic corridor along the waterfront it follows the original shoreline and many older businesses and residences were built alongside maritime businesses and local residents on their daily trips all of whom are challenged by its sharp curves and lack of turning lanes Pedestrians and bicycles are hampered by narrow sidewalks and dangerous crossing at key locations In coordination with the MTA’s Alternatives Analysis looking at long-term solutions this study aims to target short-term improvements to east-west commutes While the North Shore contains the City’s largest concentration of maritime support services (2,200 jobs many of these businesses are challenged by the struggle to improve or expand waterfront bulkheads and attract skilled employees Long-term reinvestment is made difficult by the location of the former rail ROW approximately half of the privately-owned sites on the waterfront are used for non-maritime purposes While the North Shore is defined by its proximity to the Kill Van Kull many neighborhoods do not have physical or visual access to the waterfront Currently there are only three publicly accessible locations along the waterfront: the North Shore Esplanade in St and Snug Harbor and Faber Park in Port Richmond Additional city-owned sites have been targeted for future parks but the need to overcome environmental challenges has delayed these projects A number of studies have been completed or are under way that impact the North Shore The North Shore Land Use and Transportation Study is closely coordinated with these studies and builds upon their recommendations Input has been provided from NYC Department of Transportation Mayor’s Office of Environmental Remediation the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Most importantly these efforts are being coordinated with the MTA’s Alternative Analysis Study of the former North Shore Rail Right-of-Way (ROW) The MTA’s review will assess whether the ROW can be utilized to increase transportation options and improve the quality and speed of transit service on the North Shore The scope of the North Shore Land Use and Transportation Study is limited to the land use and transportation improvements on existing roads and will be coordinated with the MTA’s recommendations Additional information and North Shore research materials are available at www.nycedc.com/northshore North Shore 2030 is the result of an extensive The vision and implementation framework relied upon the input of a broad and diverse group of individuals including North Shore residents and business owners who participated in public workshops listening sessions and civic organizations as well as elected officials and public agencies who lent their expertise to the study’s Community and Technical Advisory Committees NYCDCP and NYCEDC held two public meetings in November 2010 to present the draft recommendations and establish priorities for implementation participants were broken into discussion groups based on neighborhoods after discussing the draft recommendations and overall vision focused on identifying key short term priorities which could be implemented in the next 3-5 years Feedback from the public meetings was utilized to finalize North Shore 2030 and identify key short-term commitments to kick-start the vision View the Presentation Two rounds of public Open Houses and Visioning sessions were held on April and November 2009 to gain an understanding of the community’s needs a vision for the North Shore for over the next 20 years NYCEDC and NYCDCP held numerous listening sessions with local stakeholders including representatives of North Shore neighborhood groups local civic organizations and Community Board 1 These meetings helped identify potential future land uses and infrastructure investments and suggestions gathered from the public were incorporated into the draft recommendations presented in November 2010 The presentations from these early public meetings may be viewed at NYCEDC’s website At the November 2009 Open House and Visioning session the community was invited to participate in the Budget Game an exercise developed to help prioritize infrastructure Presented with an imaginary budget of $500 and a list of possible projects participants were asked to decide how to spend their budget The main categories featured proposed improvements in mobility and the restoration and provision of open space all of which addressed issues raised by stakeholders in previous meetings the participants were asked to reach a consensus on how their budget would be spent The results of the Budget Game helped identify community priorities and informed the draft recommendations presented in November 2010 To view the Budget Game exercise and the results The North Shore Study Advisory Committee consisted of civic organizations and public agencies with local perspectives and expertise in transportation The Committee played a key role in informing the study through advisory committee meetings and one-on-one listening sessions with the project team the Advisory Committee assisted in outreach efforts to ensure their membership and the community at large was engaged in the North Shore planning effort The following organizations and agencies are represented on the Committee: Text description provided

Mariners Harbor had been calling for a branch of the New York Public Library since the 1930s. The area has a rich maritime and oystering history, and the residents' critical needs include job search, computer/multimedia access and training, after-school support, gathering spaces, as well as the library's traditional function as a book repository. © Albert Vecerka / EstoThe new building, sited between residential and industrial blocks amid dense foliage, derives its asymmetrical two-volume form from the biological image of a cracked-open oyster shell, its roof's rough exterior concealing the bright pearls of knowledge within.

This makes sense since the Kill Van Kull connects two bays -- the New York Bay and the Newark Bay The home of Captain Garrett Post at 3260 Richmond Terrace in Mariners Harbor Ship captains who bought homes along the Shore Road included Capt David Van Name built his abode in the 1850s It stood at the west corner of Van Name Avenue and Shore Road Van Name only enjoyed his residence until 1857 The homes of Captains George and John Thompson stood just west of Van Pelt Avenue Tradition states that these brothers invented the oyster float so the little mollusks could drink in the mixture of brackish and fresh water which was said to whiten the oyster's meat Previous to the use of these floatation devices the oysters were simply dumped into the water Home of Captain Stephen Barnes at 2876 Richmond Terrace one early Staten Island history refers to the captains as "oyster aristocrats." It was also said that many of the old oyster boat captains "knew little of the science of navigation and ran their schooners by rule of thumb -- but were abundantly supplied with hard Roads that run perpendicular to Richmond Terrace include Van Name surnames for some of Staten Island's earliest residents Nineteen oyster planters and dealers are listed in Webb's 1886 business directory for the north and south shores Eighteen of these men lived in Mariners Harbor and several are members of the previously mentioned families One of the earliest oystermen on record is Matthias De Hart he made many trips to Virginia to conduct his business Even though he died at the young age of 30 was born in the family home that stood on the corner of Holland Avenue and the Shore Road on Sept Owing to his proximity to the Kill Van Kull Samuel became a devotee of sailing and boating De Hart also operated a ferry called the Flirt which ran between Mariners Harbor and Elizabeth De Hart took his financial gains and bought additional oyster boats and pleasure crafts as well as extensive oyster beds off Prince's Bay In purchasing large tracts of Mariners Harbor land De Hart became a prominent landowner in the community It has been stated that Mariners Harbor provided 100 skilled pilots from its oyster fleet to transport the Union Army via the James River to combat in the Civil War Owing to their water-related business acumen Mariners Harbor's involvement in the oyster industry had come to an end It poisoned the once-flourishing oysters and halted the prosperity of the community which would not recover until the business of ship-building advanced around the time of the First World War Use of and/or registration on any portion of this site constitutes acceptance of our User Agreement, (updated 8/1/2024) and acknowledgement of our Privacy Policy, and Your Privacy Choices and Rights (updated 1/1/2025) 2023 - 9:30AM This two-family house United National Realty Group  The northwestern Staten Island community of Mariners Harbor—older and diverse—is on the water and has a vibrant shopping area Its name comes from the thriving oyster industry in the Kill van Kull that defined the community in the late 19th century In this week’s Buy Curious, Joann Impellizine, an agent at DiTommaso Real Estate, and Elyse Ann Rivera, an agent at RE/MAX Edge, give us the scoop on Mariners Harbor I’ve heard that it’s still possible to get some good deals on houses in Mariners Harbor “Prices can be more affordable than nearby areas like Bulls Head and Westerleigh,” Impellizine says you can get a real deal on ones that have not been updated.” Rivera says the neighborhood “offers a great opportunity to buy a house Mariners Harbor is bounded on the north by the Kill van Kull waterway Impellezine points to affordability as a major attraction for newcomers “Most of the people who live on Staten Island have cars but you don’t have to use them to get to Mariners Harbor’s shopping areas and restaurants,” she says which Impellizine calls a “small sliver,” is the only subsection of the community that has some housing “It backs up to marshland and some big-box businesses."

A 22-year-old friend who often repaired cars with Anthony Rivera and was working on a vehicle at the time was shot in the leg and remains in critical but stable condition "Nobody should have to lose a mother," sister Rochelle Rivera said "Nobody should have to lose a kid for senseless violence." Police say Morales was wearing a black hooded sweater blue jeans and a black knit cap and that he possibly fled in a dark-colored Hyundai Accent or a Honda with Pennsylvania plates but it is unclear if the gun was the murder weapon and I want them to catch him so bad," Rivera said Anthony Rivera's father said the suspect lives next door and has had problems with Rivera before He said Morales thought Rivera was tampering with his car regularly This was the first fatal shooting on Staten Island in 2016 The previous 10 homicides this year were either stabbings or beatings Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker
