Dear Neighbor,

Next Thursday, July 21st, I will be hosting a Virtual Town Hall titled “Sharing Our Streets: How Better Design Can Make Streets Safer And More User Friendly For Everyone.” We all know Manhattan is crowded, and more and more users are sharing our streets. We've also seen a disturbing increase in deaths caused by interactions between cars and other road users. At this event we will learn about what is being done, and what could be done in the future, to make our streets safer and easier to navigate for all of us.

I hope you can join me for this event. See below for more information and registration details.

Best,

Liz Krueger
State Senator

“Sharing Our Streets: How Better Design Can Make Streets Safer And More User Friendly For Everyone”

Thursday, July 21st from 7pm – 8:15pm

The streets of Manhattan have always been busy, but these days they can feel like they are busier than ever. Pedestrians, cars, bikes, delivery workers, and restaurants are all sharing our streets at the same time, and that can create challenging situations that are hard to navigate. Most disturbingly, there is an upward trend in deadly interactions between cars and other road users -- the first quarter of 2022 was the deadliest start to any year since Vision Zero began. How can we design our streets so that they are safe, logical, and enjoyable for all? Find out what efforts the City is making, including safer street designs, Safe Streets for Seniors, and reimagining the future of city streets.

Speakers will include:

- Ed Pincar, Manhattan Borough Commission, New York City Department of Transportation

- Captain Butler, Sargent Palaguachi, Officer Aribas, NYPD 19th Precinct

- Paul Krikler, Safe Streets Advocate and Community Board 8 Transportation Committee Member
