We are approaching 2,000 signatures on our petition, and we have definitely put our important issue on the landscape for local news and local politicians.

amNY posted an article about the issue on Thursday, which explored the issue and reached out to the MTA and DOE on the issue.

In addition, yesterday, a large group of local politicians sent a letter to Chancellor Adams and of the DOE and Chair Leiber of the MTA in support of the change. The letter was co-signed by Keith Powers New York City Council,  District 4 Mark Levine  Manhattan Borough President Adriano Espaillat United States House of Representatives, District 10 Kristen Gonzalez  New York State Senate,  District 59 Jerrold Nadler United States House of Representatives, District 11 Chris Marte New York City Council, District 1 Harvey Epstein New York State Assembly, District 74 Brian Kavanagh New York State Senate, District 27 Carlina Rivera New York City Council, District 2 Erik Bottcher New York City Council, District 3 Julie Menin New York City Council, District 5 Gale Brewer New York City Council, District 6 Shaun Abreu  New York City Council, District 7 Charles Fall New York State Assembly, District 61 Manny de los Santos New York State Assembly, District 72 Rebecca A.
