Through the AffordableOwnership Development Program of theState%u2019s Affordable Housing Corporation, theCity received $2,457,000 to help bring downthe costs of housing that is geared forfamilies earning between $25,000 and $48,000.Last month the City received a Federal Urban Development Action Grant of $10.7million, a significantly smaller amount thanthe $16.41 million requested. According toKathy Wylde from the New York City Housing Partnership, the agency that put togetherthe housing portion of the Atlantic Terminalproject, the combined federal and statemoney will subsidize 455 of the 643 housingunits planned in the project. The State moneyshe said was needed to offset the loss ofUDAG money.%u201cThe money will subsidize the first of thehouses to be built,%u201d she said. Groundbreakingfor those units is expected in early 1987 andWylde says that the remaining 188 units areexpected to be subsidized through a combination of state and federal monies.The UDAG money was divided between thecommercial and residential portions of theproject; $8 million is targeted for commercial development and $2.7 million for thehousing. %u2014 L.K.B-51 Is ContinuedThe B-51 Transit Authority bus that connects Downtown Brooklyn with Manhattanwill be continued indefinitely until localpublic officials and Transit Authority president David Gunn have an opportunity to meetand decide the fate of the bus. The bus wasscheduled to end its extended trial period onOct. 31.The bus began its original trial run inSeptember of 1985 and received repeated extensions after handicapped and eiaeriydemonstrated in support of the bus, the onlyabove ground surface transportation linkingDowntown Brooklyn and the City Hall area.The route received the support of BoroughPresident Howard Golden and City Councilmember Abe Gerges, both of whom envision the bus as serving Brooklyn%u2019s downtownpopulation as economic development bringsmore employees into the downtown area incoming years.A six-month extension was issued in May,after the Metropolitan Transit Authoritythreatened to cancel the bus due to low ridership. During the summ er and early fall,ridership has increased by over ten percent,accordihg to figures from the Borough President%u2019s office, but still falls short of thenumber of passengers needed to reach a 70percent return on the daily cost of operatingthe route, a requirement by the MTA to keeD the bus traveling. No date has been set for themeeting with David Gunn. %u2014 L.K.Fifth Ave. Plans XmasThe members of the Merchants Association of Fifth Avenue had visions of sugarplums dancing in their heads at their Oct. 30meeting at Prospect Hall.
