If anyone wants to become a member of CB12, now is the time to apply. There are almost no members on this board from Inwood (a disgrace, in my opinion), so I should think that Inwoodites would be preferred. Having more of us on the Transportation committee would not be a bad thing either…

Transportation Alternatives has announced three winners for “Designing the 21st Century Street,” an open design competition that challenged New Yorkers to safely accommodate pedestrians, bicyclists, transit, trucks and cars on the same “complete street” – something that has long eluded New York City street design. The winning entries, “Shared Space” by Steven Nutter, “Streets for Everyone” by Rogers Marvel Architects, and “Streets Come Alive” by LEVON, are remarkable for their ingenuity, invention and beauty. Come celebrate the winners and their innovative street designs at Galapagos Art Space. Visit http://www.transalt.org
I alerted the head of the 34th precinct community council of recent discussions here regarding the lack of arrests / citations by police for infractions. Here is his response. It is up to us to write a letter. Will we be meeting anytime soon to start addressing the organizational issues?
Thank you Ms. Clarke. If the group wishes to file a formal complaint they can do so by writing to the 34th Precinct Community Council by e-mail or letter.
My Precinct Council email is President@34precinct.org
Once I receive the complaint I will and can follow up with the complainant. They are also more than welcome to attend our upcoming 34th Precinct Community Council meeting on November 19, 2008 at 7:30pm, Location-TBA.

I’m going to go to this. This is where I came up with the idea for pursuing a Dyckman Greenway Connector idea in the first place. It’s too bad that we did not connect with them much sooner, as we might have had input into their blueprint. I’m seeing this as a systemic problem. East Coast Greenway is plowing ahead on their designs through our neighborhood without us as well. Parks and NYMTC are too.
