Guy makes a speech at the TA Holiday Party, then a few days later completely gives up on Kent Ave. Teresa Toro definitely deserves recognition for her work, we'll happily take her in Queens.

She's not an elected official, but rather a true activist from the community that fought tirelessly to better the streets of community board 1, from the bedford ave bike swap to the kent ave bike lane (which IS great and must remain intact until we have a greenway path). There are plenty of others fighting out cause, but I'd like to see Teresa Toro recognized. Teresa Toro deserves it.
