These 25 new APS installa-tions are a great first step in whatmust be an ongoing commitmentto improving the safety of pedes-trians with visual impairments inall 5 boroughs.”

DOT already approved an ad-ditional 12 of the 25 locationsexpected to receive APSs in thenext 12 months. These 12 instal-lations are expected to occur bythe end of 2011. The process for

approving and installing APStechnology begins with a study ofa requested location where DOTexamines off-peak traffic pres-ence, the current traffic-signalpatterns and the complexity of theintersection’s geometry.

To function, APSs are wired toa pedestrian signal and can sendaudible messages for when it issafe to cross when they push abutton installed at the crosswalk.

The button also emits a click-ing sound so it can be foundby pedestrians.

Installation at 7th Avenue and23rd Street kicks off agency’srollout of audible signals to 25intersections in the next 12 months.The next locations to receive APSsinclude the following in Queens:Queens and Woodhaven Boule-vards as well as 57th Avenue andMarathon Parkway.

going into effect at 8 a.m. to providemore parking opportunities for mo-torists looking to access businesses inthis area. DOT studied these changesat the request of Van Bramer.

“We must do all we can to ensurebusinesses in Queens can grow and thriveand making these parking adjustments onQueens Boulevard will help do just that,”said Rep. Joe Crowley (D-Queens, theBronx). “That is why Councilman VanBramer and I called on DOT to makeparking more accessible along QueensBoulevard and I am pleased DOT listenedto our concerns, as well as the concerns ofbusiness leaders in the community.”

“After hearing from business ownersand community members about thestruggle to find parking along QueensBoulevard in Sunnyside during the daytime hours, DOT has come up with areasonable plan to meet the needs ofcommunity,” said AssemblywomanCatherine Nolan. “I thankCouncilmember Van Bramer for his lead-ership on this project and I look forwardto hearing from the community as thesechanges take place.”

NYC DOT Comm. Janette Sadik-Khan, City CM Jimmy Van Bramer,Congressman Joe Crowley and SenatorGianaris announced that short-term me-tered parking is being added and parkingregulations are being adjusted alongQueens Boulevard in Sunnyside to makeparking more accessible for motorists,especially the customers of local busi-nesses lining the corridor. Recently, DOTreprogrammed more than 150 long-termmeters from 33rd Street to GreenpointAve to give motorists the option to payfor fewer than 12 hours at those spaces.To build on this effort, 60 muni-meterspaces under the elevated 7 Train willbe converted to a four-hour maxi-mum time limit next month. The week-day “No Standing 7 a.m. to 10 a.m.”regulation on the north curb of west-bound Queens Boulevard from 48thStreet to 32nd Place also will be elimi-nated and the existing two-hour muni-meter regulations will be extended,

Congratulations must go out to Jack Friedman, Executive Director andSophia Ganosis, Chief of Operation for putting this gala together!It started back in January 1911; fifteen Queens businessmen met andsigned an agreement to form the Queens Chamber of Commerce. It’sinspiring to look back to 1911, to reflect on the profound changes that haveswept through Queens during the past century. It was important from ourmembers of the Sunnyside Chamber of Commerce be in attendance at the100-year celebration of the Queens Chamber, as they were forerunnersand a model for the Sunnyside Chamber, instituted in 1948.We cannot predict what is coming economically. But our relationship to theQueens Chamber has helped us locally by giving us a broader circle ofcontacts, support, clout, and knowledge. Through good economic timesand bad, the Queens Chamber has advocated for, served and promotedbusiness and industry in our borough and our local efforts are madestronger. We look forward to working together for the next 100 years.

$55.4 Million In New LendingTo NY Small Businesses To

Help Create JobsU.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand an-

nounced the approval of New York’s StateSmall Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI)application. The allocation is expected tospur more than $550 million in small busi-nesses lending to help create new privatesector jobs. The funding comes through theSmall Business Jobs Act that SenatorGillibrand voted to pass last year.

“My number one focus is creating good-paying, family-supporting jobs for NewYork,” Senator Gillibrand said. “But I knowthat government doesn’t create jobs – busi-nesses do. And small businesses are themost powerful economic engine we have.When we increase capital for small busi-nesses, we can help get more new busi-nesses off the ground, help existing busi-nesses grow and thrive, and create moregood-paying jobs.”

Under the Small Business Jobs Act, New

York can access $55.4 million in SSBCIfunds. New York expects to generate a mini-mum of at least $10 in new private lendingfor every $1 in federal funding. The $55.4million allocation for New York is expectedto support more than $550 million in newprivate lending.

Small businesses are responsible for halfof all private sector jobs and 70 percent of allnew jobs created in the last decade. Butnearly 60 percent of all small business reporthaving trouble getting the credit they need.

The New York State Department of Eco-nomic Development, in cooperation with theEmpire State Development Corporation, willuse these funds to support a the New YorkCapital Access Program ($19 million); theInnovate New York Fund ($26 million), anew fund of funds program for early stagecompanies; and the New York Bonding Guar-antee Assistance Program ($10 million).
