I spoke to a rep from Bronx CB 8 (Riverdale/Kingsbridge) and there are several vacancies on the board. I'm looking forward to putting my money where my mouth is if I can get an appointment.

You wanna have a say on the design? You think you have a better idea? You probably do - but you have to get involved to have an effect. Or you can keep complaining that no one listens to the suggestions that you make in the comments sections of online blogs... :) Seriously, we can comment all we want on Streetsblog about how this should be better and why did they do things that way.

In addition to helping get your applications together, T.A. is happy to help set up a meeting with your City Council Member and Borough President, who make the decisions about who gets on the board. Just like a personal visit when you're applying to college, it gives your candidacy a little more umph. Nice job Heff!

For all the Queens residents, you can call 718-286-2900 and the nice woman on the other end will take down your address and mail you an application if you can't get to Kew Gardens in person during business hours.

I know I'll be there, I hope all the other Queens Streetbloggers do the same. Also CB2 in Queens is actually very short on members, they don't even have a transportation committee, so if you are served by them I bet you have a better than average chance to get selected.

Unfortunately, we haven't received any "Jammy Jam" RSVPs from CB14's district, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that some of the Sustainable Flatbush folks will join as public members in 2009. This group has great ideas and are super motivated. Please don't hesitate to forward this posting/invite to any Flatbush residents that are interested in CB membership. Thank you again for inviting me to speak at CB14 this past month; it was a pleasure to meet you, Doris and the rest of the board. Best, Lindsey Alvin,
