PlaNYC Neighborhood Presentation: Astoria

10:38 PM EDT on May 31, 2007

If you want to know more about what PlaNYC offers for your neighborhood and you live in Astoria, please join Transportation Alternatives as it presents to residents, workers and business owners.

Throughout the summer, Transportation Alternatives will be working in all five boroughs to educate New Yorkers about the bicycling, walking, mass transit and public space components of PlaNYC. If you are interested in having us speak at your block association, community board, Business Improvement District or civic group about PlaNYC's transportation impact, email info @ transalt . org to set up a meeting.
