Today: 5:00 p.m. is the submission deadline for Transportation Alternatives’ “Biking Rules” PSA contest. Update and correction: The deadline for the Biking Rules PSA contest has been extended to September 28. Apologies for the mix-up. Elizabeth’s PSA is still good inspiration.
Tuesday: TA’s third and final City Council candidate debate gets underway at 7:00 p.m. This should be a fitting finale. With David Yassky running for Comptroller, the council is losing one of its most reliable supporters of sustainable transportation policy.

We’ll post an in-depth preview of this debate later today.
