For more than 150 years, no City administration codified the laws providing New Yorkers our free rights. If passed, these study bills will do just that.

Laws structuring a mid-19th century public-private partnership envisioned free access and instruction to a park education campus in exchange for rent-free use of city-owned buildings and parkland.

The institutions were in parks and the mid-1800's pledge was free access and instruction to a ... park education campus ....

About time, the highly taxed NYC taxpayer got benefits for its generous funding of the arts!

Passage if these study bills will codify in one place New Yorkers's free access and instruction rights and have them made publicly available.

The public-private partnership laws generally provided for all New Yorkers as a ...general public...as a population specific to New York City given the industrialization had yet to materialize. Nonetheless, some laws did uniquely identify schools, professors and teachers.

NYC children used to have free entrance to the Bronx Zoo and Botanical Gardens. It's needed again for today's children to have safe, green learning spaces that welcome underserved children.
