Upcoming Events and Ways to Get Involved

[Anna Berlanga]

Hello Bronx and Uptown Folks! 

There is so much happening in our universe! 

Urgent

Join the Stop the Cross Bronx Expansion Coalition TOMORROW, May 8th at 6pm for a community conversation where we’ll share the latest updates from our 18 months of campaign work and the latest conversations with the State Governor’s office and NYS DOT about the future of the Cross Bronx Expressway. The meeting will be held virtually. 

Upcoming Events 

You can still sign up for the Pizza Challenge on May 9th.

Join us for the Ride of Silence on May 20th in lieu of our regular committee meeting. 

Morning laps for BikeFest on May 21st.

 

Volunteers Needed
The Bronx River Alliance needs volunteers on Saturday, May 16th for their annual Flotilla. They need help at their portage sites moving canoes. Can you help? There are two shifts: 

• Portage support at New York Botanical Garden 8:00am - 12:30pm
• Portage and Rapids support at 180th Street 10:00am - 1:30pm
• General Support at Hunts Point Riverside Park at the beginning or end of the festival 
• Volunteer Signup Form https://forms.gle/PKWLKDu2DigczcVY9

Petitions and Surveys

Exit 12N off the Henry Hudson Parkway has been closed for 10 months and the world hasn't exploded. This petition proposes turning it into a pedestrian and cyclist greenway. It would provide an entrance to Riverside park WITHOUT stairs. Sign the petition now!

Celebrations

Your calls, your work, your tweets, and shares WORKED. Stop Super Speeders made it into the Assembly Budget. There is still more work to do as details get worked out in the City Council but we did the hardest part: getting Carl Heastie on board. 

Thanks,
