District 10 Project Descriptions

WHEELS Playground Installation $500,000

WHEELS Elementary has recess in a fenced concrete yard which will be
transformed by this proposal to a playground with safe surface, structure, and
hoops. Support our children and neighborhood school.
IS 152/ PS 178 Playground Collaboration $600,000
The current playground has a damaged surface as well as an old structure that is
damaged, and no longer meets the needs of the students. The upgrade to the
playground will enhance the safety, and engage students to be more active by
installing the new structure.
Amistad/Muscota Plumbing Upgrade $100,000
The bathrooms at this school are overdue for an upgrade, the toilets do not flush
correctly, and kids have trouble reaching the sinks. This is a co-located school,
and the upgrade would prove beneficial to all the students.
Dos Puentes/PS 132 Playground Installation $400,000
This is a co-located school that currently lacks a playground, which does not
provide students with a safe area to have recess. This installation would include
a play structure, resurfacing, and re-fencing providing for two separate, safe
areas for kids to play.
JHS 143 Music Recording Studio $300,000
JHS 143 High School Recording Studio would musically enrich the general and
special education students, providing them with the necessary steps to establish
a foundation for an influential musical career.
Auditorium Upgrade PS 218/MS 322/MS 293 $100,000
The current auditorium is shared by these schools, and must rely on technology
dating back to 1993, which is now very outdated. The upgrade will enhance all
events held there, both within the school and community, and encourage further
utilization of the space.

Facade Repairs at Fort Washington Library $600,000

These repairs would include restoring the parapet well, do repainting throughout,
and waterproofing the facade. Fort Washington Library Facade Repairs are
essential to the preservation of a building built in April 1914, funds generously
allocated by Andrew Carnegie.
Outdoor Circuit Training $100,000
This will be an outdoor, high-quality, consolidated exercise area that will be free
to the public. This will promote community health and wellness, encouraging the
community and their families to be more involved.
Audubon Playground Upgrade $155,000
This project will be to resurface the basketball court, adding the missing peewee
hoops and backboards, and to replace the fencing around the park. This will
enhance the safety of the playground, and make it a more comfortable
environment.
Emerson Playground Chessboards $250,000
This project intends to provide for an adult chess community near the Emerson
Playground. Currently, all boards are located inside the playgrounds, barring
adults without children from playing.
Highbridge Community Garden $200,000
This area already has GreenThumb approval, a subsection of Parks, allowing for
a food garden in this area of the park. This will help to provide for more local
participation and education for the community on how food is grown, and in
turn, will promote wellness.
Highbridge Anti-Dumping Measures $100,000
This project will allow for the installation of fencing in two different areas along
the edge of the park where trash dumping is a large problem. The project will
prevent litter, control erosion, and help to keep the area clean and safe.
