STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A handful of sculptures in dancing positions have found a home behind the Visitors Center of Conference House Park.
The five figures, created by Staten Island artist DB Lampman, were originally part of “The Dance,” a public art installation in Stapleton’s Tappen Park around 2014 honoring the borough’s diversity and different cultures.
Stapleton, where Lampman lives, is home to large populations from Sri Lanka, Liberia, Ghana, the Gold Coast, Mexico, and Central and South America.

What’s the path for street safety in New York City beyond Mayor de Blasio’s signature Vision Zero initiative? Streetsblog asked those who would lead the city beyond COVID-19 and Vision Zero to “think big” about the question.
We asked:
Is there a safety, design or enforcement strategy that is not being deployed that you think is vital to making our roadways, sidewalks and public spaces work better for everyone? How would you promote it in office? (Hint: This is a “visionary” question, so don’t think small.)
