THREE YEARS AFTER OUR PIONEERING 2020 PROPOSAL FOR AN OFFICE OF PUBLIC SPACE MANAGEMENT, MAYOR ADAMS ANNOUNCED NEW YORK'S FIRST-EVER CHIEF PUBLIC REALM OFFICER, TASKED WITH THINKING HOLISTICALLY AND STRATEGICALLY ABOUT OUR PUBLIC SPACE. THE ANNOUNCEMENT WAS A TRIUMPH FOR PUBLIC SPACE AND FOR OPEN PLANS. THE VICTORY CAME EARLY IN 2023 AND SET THE STAGE FOR A YEAR OF CELEBRATIONS AND BIG AMBITIONS, BOLSTERED WITH THE REASSURANCE THAT STEADFAST, SKILLFUL ADVOCACY PAYS OFF.THAT VICTORY WAS ONE OF MANY FIRSTS IN 2023. IN JUNE, FOLLOWING THE LAUNCH OF OUR REPORT CURB THE CHAOS, OPEN PLANS HOSTED OUR FIRST-EVER CONVENING THAT GATHERED STAKEHOLDERS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY TO EXPLORE CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS AT THE CURB; WE SUCCESSFULLY ADVOCATED FOR THE CITY TO EXPAND SUMMER STREETS INTO EVERY BOROUGH; AND IN OCTOBER, WE STAGED A STUDIO APARTMENT WITHIN TWO PARKING SPOTS TO DEMONSTRATE THE TRADEOFFS THAT PARKING MANDATES FORCE US TO MAKE. THESE SUCCESSES SOLIDIFIED OPEN PLANS AS DYNAMIC, INNOVATIVE, VISIONARY AND INSPIRING REAL-WORLD CHANGE.OUR WORK WITH COMMUNITIES ALSO REACHED NEW HIGHS IN 2023. OUR ADVOCATES AND ORGANIZERS SPREAD FAR AND WIDE, PRESENTING TO COMMUNITY BOARDS AND SCHOOL COMMUNITIES ABOUT BENEFITS LIKE DAYLIGHTING, CURB REFORM, AND SCHOOL STREETS. WE EVEN BEGAN TO HELP NEW YORKERS UNDERSTAND HOW AND WHY TO APPLY TO THEIR COMMUNITY BOARDS. THIS IMPACTFUL ENGAGEMENT IS THE ESSENTIAL OTHER HALF OF OUR GOVERNMENT-LEVEL POLICY WORK. IT'S WHERE WE BUILD GRASSROOTS SUPPORT AND EMPOWER NEW YORKERS TO MAKE CHANGE.NOTHING IS MORE EMPOWERING THAN KNOWLEDGE, AND NO ONE KEEPS NEW YORKERS INFORMED LIKE STREETSBLOGNYC AND STREETFILMS. THEY REVEAL THE TRUTH ABOUT OUR CITY THE GOOD AND THE BAD. STREETSBLOG'S AWARD-WINNING REPORTING ON LICENSE PLATE FRAUD RAISED AN ALARM AND SPARKED NEW LEGISLATION IN TWO OF THE STATES THAT SELL THE MOST FRAUDULENT PLATES INTO NEW YORK; THEIR UNMATCHED COVERAGE ON OUR AGENCIES AND MAYORAL ADMINISTRATION KEPT NEW YORKERS INFORMED ON WHAT'S HAPPENING BEHIND THE SCENES. STREETFILMS SHOWCASED THE BIG INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS WORTH CELEBRATING, FOSTERING SUPPORT FOR MORE. THEIR VISIT TO PARIS GAVE NEW YORKERS, AND OUR GOVERNMENT, SOMETHING TO ASPIRE TO.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
