Again, I would like to thank each and every one of you for signing. When I first found out about this project, I was so shocked I had never heard anything about it before. I had a feeling a large majority of the community also had no idea since many of us are very busy with work and family.
Next, I want to share Community Board 1's schedule and a link to sign up to speak at their next meeting.
I feel it is extremely important to show our faces and make our voices heard. The next meeting of the Transportation committee is scheduled for September 8th according to their schedule:

If you cannot make a meeting, or even if you can, I encourage you to at the very least call and email the board and make your voice heard:

We must be vigilant. We are strong in numbers. Since those in power declined to ask us, we must now let them know how we feel.
