Beautification & Streetscape Improvements

• We install three seasonal plantings in more than 150 tree beds throughout the district, beautifying and unifying our streetscape. (If you'd like to join the program, send us an e-mail.)
• The Partnership has arranged for the planting of dozens of trees, greening our neighborhood.
• Our Consolidated Sign Unit program places NYC Department of Transportation regulatory signs on more than 600 free-standing poles throughout the district, neatening the streetscape and making often confusing parking information understandable.
• We partner with The Fund for Park Avenue to ensure the Park Avenue malls are kept litter-free and beautiful.
• Thanks to our Tramway Plaza Improvement Project, we have cleaned up our only publicly-accessible open space and reduced the rodent population by over 99%, making it an attractive venue once again.

Cleanliness & Safety

• Since 2002, we've collected and removed more than 2.2 million bags of trash, litter, and paper recycling from district streets, represnting 26.5 million pounds of waste. Our street cleaning crew -- contracted through the nationally-recognized organization,The Doe Fund -- is out on the streets daily, ensuring maximum street and sidewalk cleanliness.
• We also clear snow and ice during the winter months, remove graffiti, power-wash dirty sidewalks, remove stickers and posters from street furniture, and monitor street and drainage conditions.
• In one of the most ambitious recycling efforts in the nation, the East Midtown Partnership has installed more than 120 paper/newspaper Recycling Receptacles on sidewalks throughout the district. Now, no East Midtown pedestrian is more than one block from a recycling bin, and tons of recyclable paper is taken out of the waste stream.
• A team of East Midtown Partnership public safety officers patrols the district Monday through Saturday, and during special events, offering an additional sense of security, giving visitors directions and assistance, and noting unsafe street conditions.
• We also have a Homeless Outreach team (contracted through BRC) in the district 40 hours per week, ensuring that the needs of our most vulnerable citizens are met. Since 2002, our Homeless Outreach initiative has brought more than 720 men and women off the streets and into relevant service programs. If you see a homelessness situation -- at any time of day or night -- call the BRC Homeless Helpline at 212-533-5151.
