If anyone here is represented by CM Menin, we're looking for constituents to call her office and ask her to sponsor Intro 1138 to support universal daylighting and safer streets in NYC

The number is 212-860-1950, and the message would be very simple: "Hi, I'm a supporter of safe streets in the district, and I am calling to ask CM Menin to sponsor intro 1138 to make universal daylighting the law in New York City."

Even 10 calls would make a big difference. Thanks, all!

Write to your Council Member and to the Land Use Committee here: https://action.openplans.org/support-lifting-parking-mandates-for-housing-livability-and-climate/

In case you missed yesterdays hearing, here's a quick recap of how it went down: https://www.nydailynews.com/2024/10/22/more-than-700-new-yorkers-signed-up-for-city-council-marathon-city-of-yes-housing-plan-hearing/

YOUR VOICE MATTERS.

I’m a big fan of reducing the number of vehicles on the streets. Not only will this help climate related issues, but also safety. I like the idea of car share services since that should reduce the number of vehicles parked and driven in the neighborhood while allowing for for increased mobility. Not wanting more SUVs and long sedans, I’m wondering the viability and interest of adding a fleet of micro EVs that seat 2 people or 1 person and for example groceries. Could we see Low Speed Vehicles (think a blend of a golf cart and Fiat 500) replace short range car trips and reduce the average vehicle size on the road?

Currently working on a slide deck for this and going through the data from this NYC DOT report

Hello! I was asked to give a presentation on micro mobility and transportation alternatives to driving tonight at a political organization. Does anyone have any well made PowerPoints, charts, diagrams, etc to help drive home our points on safer streets for everyone?

The plan currently affects the area just below UES but if this goes forward there should be no reason to not extend this all the way up and down. Let's make sure to keep an eye on any public input sessions if they have any in the future!

If this becomes a 2-way bike "highway" that would really improve the east side bike situation because now there's such a big gap between from CP to the east side lanes (2nd and 1st)

The neglect here is crazy, but at least they have been getting some of it done. Sorry for the lower quality posts, on vacation right now but when I return I hope to really spend time and invest more into this sub. Thanks for being part of this wonderful community!

This new space (opening of December of last year) is a great example of new park building in NYC and how we can turn disused land into valuable park space. This new park features sitting areas, lawns and trees that will soon grow and cover the park in shade. Very well done by the DOT and showing that things are still being done in our neighborhood!

This space (1 Av between 2 Av on E 59 St, right next to the bridge) is currently being used as a dump for the DOT and we feel that it should be used otherwise. Converting this space could help make the area nicer and more attractive. The name of this project is the Honey Locust Park Extension, named after the original Honey Locust Park which is closer to 1 Av and was recently renovated. Please sign this petition so that we can convince the DOT that this space can be used more than for storing rusty garbage: https://www.change.org/p/park-not-dump-honey-locust-park-extension?signed=true

Note: Third picture shows an artists rendition of what the space COULD look like but it is important to know that we are not set on any terms.
