This week we have competing Tuesday evening events, followed by the big Tri-State Transportation Campaign fund-raiser on Thursday. But first, TA and TSTC team up for what could be a momentous discussion on traffic justice.
- There are three events on Tuesday: the legal symposium on vehicular homicide with presumptive Manhattan DA-elect Cy Vance, sponsored by Transportation Alternatives, the Tri-State Transportation Campaign and the Cardozo School of Law (9 a.m.); Auto-Free New York hears a presentation on the NYC Planning Commission from Hunter College Prof. Tom Angotti (6 p.m.); and TA’s East Side Committee celebrates recent successes, including the Upper East Side protected bike lane resolution (6:30 p.m.).
- Wednesday: NYU hosts a panel on transit funding with Dick
Ravitch.
Unfortunately, registration is closed. 8 a.m. - Thursday: TSTC’s annual benefit
honors Streetsblog and Streetfilms. Be sure to sign up for this
important fund-raiser. 6 p.m. - Sunday: The exhibit was extended due to popular demand, but this
really is the last day to see “The Future Beneath Us: Eight Great
Projects Under New York” at the Transit Museum and the New York Public Library. All day.
Keep an eye on the calendar for updated listings. Got an event we should know about? Drop us a line.
