I thought you all might like to know about tonight's meeting for public
input regarding the Hudson River Valley Greenway.
Subject: Hudson River Valley Greenway meeting Feb 26 at Lehman
College
2009-02-04 11:59 
Ebenezer at the CB12 just sent this out:  (We really need to be
involved and I can lead a group to go to this).  Meantime we should
read their scope of work, project schedule and summaries of previous TAC
meetings.   Because we have not formalized our structure, we
are not invited to get involved early in processes like this.  We
are not on anybody's radar (except CB12 to some degree). Dear Technical
Advisory Committee (TAC) Member,
Please join us for the Hudson River Valley Greenway Link project's first
public workshop. This workshop will provide a forum for potential users,
residents and other stakeholders to learn about the project and discuss
their ideas and concerns in an engaging and productive atmosphere. The
workshop will incorporate interactive
exercises, including drawing of potential route alignments, and a
presentation by the project team. The content of this workshop has been
developed based on your input through the TAC and represents a broadening
of stakeholder outreach as we share the progress of the project with the
greater community and solicit wider input. The
workshop will be held on 

Thursday, February 26, 2009 
at Lehman College’s East Dining Room 
(see directions below) from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

Dear Dr. Clarke,
 
Thank you for your interest in this project. My name is Howie Mann and I
am
the project manager for this project for the sponsor, the NY
Metropolitan
Transportation Council.
 
You will be added to the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) for the
project.
You will shortly receive a brochure that includes all of the details of
the
upcoming workshop. As a cyclist your input into the study will be
valuable.
 
TAC members weren't exactly chosen. We sought individuals and
organizations
that we knew about and started a database of those people. Then we asked
them
to assist us in identifying other people and organizations as well as
letting
us know if the contacts we had were still current. Using this method we
built
the TAC to its current configuration. We have tried to be inclusive. We
haven't left anyone out.
 
I hope this information is helpful and I look forward to meeting you on
Feb
26. If you need any more information do not hesitate to call or email.
