Upcoming Events

The poetry of campaign season is over and now the prose of governing begins. For almost all of us, that means much less CNN, fewer get-out-the-vote parties, no obsessive clicking on the election map and, hopefully, a little more free time.

So what will you do with it? How about making your politics local, creating positive change in the neighborhood and helping improve the street right outside your door? All that and more is well within reach if you join your local Community Board.

Increasingly, New York City's Community Boards are a catalyst for change. They've been the driving force behind great projects like the 9th Avenue bike lane, the Gansevoort pedestrian plaza and even Bedford Avenue's new and improved bicycle parking. With City agencies working hard to fulfill the sustainability mandate of PlaNYC and the DOT ready to roll out new street designs across the city, there's simply never been a better time to make an impact.

To sweeten the deal, Transportation Alternatives is making the Community Board application process fun and easy by hosting a Community Board Join-Up Jammy-Jam. 

We'll have snacks, drinks, staff to answer questions, applications and even a handsome notary on hand.
