| Swimming in Trash? A Look into Cleanliness at NYC Beaches |
Of NYC's 578 miles of coastline, only 14 are reserved for the City's seven public beaches. The beaches, operated by the NYC Parks Department, are open for just over three months every year, but can receive more visitors than 15 million visitors in that short time, as they did during the summer of 2002. Yet a NYC Council investigation finds that NYC beachgoers who expect sun, surf and sand might also find condoms, hypodermic needles, food wrappers, and other garbage littering both shore and sea.

| IDLING BUSES: Exhausting Our Health |
This NYC Council Investigation Division report found that in some parts of the City, over 30% of buses were observed idling longer than is legally allowed, which contributes to the City’s already serious pollution problem. The average idling time for these buses was over 7 minutes, more than twice the 3-minute legal limit. Some buses were found idling for a time period more than five times as long as they should have. The report concluded that more outreach and enforcement efforts were needed.
