If you want to see more of this, and less of this, at the community board level, Transportation Alternatives is making it easier to apply for a spot on your own neighborhood CB.

Next Monday, November 24, TA will host the “Community Board Join-Up Jammy-Jam” at the offices of The Open Planning Project. There will be snacks, drinks, and short presentations on community board membership (and “why it rocks”). TA staffers will be on hand to field questions, along with a notary to make your app official.

RSVP (through Monday) to Elena at volunteer[at]transalt[dot]org or 646-873-6036.

WHAT: Community Board Join-Up Jammy-Jam
WHERE: The Open Planning Project,
349 W 12th St, #3 (1st Floor), Manhattan
WHEN: Monday, November 24, 6:00-9:00 p.m.

If you can’t make the party, or want to get a head start, application info for all boroughs is after the jump.
