Gowanus Taskforce
If you live near the Gowanus Expressway you should be part of determining its
future. The highway will soon be rebuilt and the chance to make a difference
is now. T.A. is a core member of the Gowanus Community Stakeholder Group,
which seeks to ensure an unbiased study of whether to replace the hulking
highway with a new elevated or a tunnel. Your help on this mega-project will
make a difference for decades to come. Gowanus@transalt.org,
212-629-8080.

attend community meetings and teach greenway users about safety on the path.
