calming, pedestrian rights and safe streets in your neighborhood. Come to a
committee meeting and meet great people who care about the same things you do.

Car-Free Central Park
Committee
We cannot stand cars in the
park either, and we are doing something about it! Did you see NY1 news on June
2? We were the top story! We just collected 50,000 petition signatures from
park users calling for cars to get out of the park. Get in the loop and help
get cars off it, join our e-mail list: www.Car-freecentralpark.org.

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 one or a
tunnel. Your help on this mega-project will make a difference for decades to
come. Gowanus@transalt.org,
