Wednesday: Representatives from the MTA and Dattner Architects will be at the Transit Museum to discuss the rehabilitation of the Columbus Circle subway station, and the art being installed there. 6 p.m.
Wednesday: Remember how advocates fought off the widening of the Deegan? Is the same dynamic in place for the BQE rehabilitation? Find out at the BQE stakeholders meeting. 6:30 p.m.
