In response to Transportation Alternatives' powerful rally for pedestrian safety last month, Council Member and Chair of the Transportation Committee John Liu has called for a hearing on this important issue. The hearing could be a great opportunity to influence the incoming Commissioner of Transportation, who starts work just three days after this hearing. Transportation Alternatives urges you to attend this hearing and testify about how dangerous streets are affecting you and your community.
