Without seeing a word, people around the world immediately recognize the apple, the swoosh and the golden arches. That's exactly what designers had in mind when they created the octagon for Chase Manhattan Bank nearly 60 years ago.

Design firm Chermayeff & Geismar Associates presented eight symbols, including a sleek octagon they called "a simple yet powerful geometric form embodying a strong feeling of motion and activity."

The Greenstreets program converts paved, vacant traffic islands, and medians into green spaces filled with trees, shrubs, and groundcover in an effort to capture stormwater.

The program is a part of the NYC Green Infrastructure Plan. All funding for Greenstreet construction under this plan is administered by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).

Green Infrastructure

Permits have been filed for an eight-story mixed-use building at 37-22 30th Street in Astoria, Queens. Located between 37th and 38th Avenues, the lot is between the 36th and 39th Avenue subway stations, served by the N and W trains. Arthur Klansky of Ashlar Mechanical Corp. is listed as the owner behind the applications.

The proposed 70-foot-tall development will yield 20,642 square feet, with 17,640 square feet designated for residential space and 3,002 square feet for manufacturing space. The building will have 14 residences, most likely condos based on the average unit scope of 1,260 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar and seven enclosed parking spaces.

Reduces irrigation needs by 786,500 gallons per year through a native and adapted plant palette, saving $3,500 in annual irrigation costs when compared to a standard lawn.

Stores 4,698 lbs of carbon and sequesters 1,079 lbs of carbon per year in 174 new trees on-site and adjacent to the site.
