This Week: Join Streetsblog for a Discussion of BRT in NYC

On Wednesday, Streetsblog and the New York Transit Museum are hosting a roundtable discussion on Bus Rapid Transit in New York City. Streetsblog Editor-in-Chief Ben Fried will moderate a panel featuring Joan Byron of the Pratt Center for Community Development, Eric Beaton of NYC DOT, and Robert Thompson of New York City Transit. The event is free but registration is requested. It kicks off at 6:30 p.m. at the Transit Museum in Downtown Brooklyn. See you there!

For the full complement of events, check the Streetsblog calendar. Here are the highlights:

    • Tuesday: Want safer streets in Queens? Meet up with the Transportation Alternatives Queens Activist Committee to learn about street safety campaigns on Queens Boulevard, 21st Street, and in Jackson Heights and Corona. 6:30 p.m.
    • Also Tuesday: Brooklyn Community Board 10 chair Brian Kieran recently removed livable streets supporter Bob HuDock from the board's transportation committee. The committee, which had been showing signs of progress since its days as a reliable opponent of street safety projects, will discuss a proposed bike rack and "the future direction of the committee" at its meeting this week. 7 p.m.
    • Thursday: Want more bike parking in Prospect Heights? Brooklyn Community Board 8 will decide whether to OK four new bike corrals in the neighborhood. The plans, requested by local businesses, have already received a thumbs up from the board's transportation committee. 7 p.m.

Keep an eye on the calendar for updated listings. Got an event we should know about? Drop us a line.
