Children playing in residential streets, seniors chatting on benches in the shade, commuters biking to work or hopping on and off East Side buses with ease. According to the vision of a growing coalition of East Side residents, this is what East Side streets could look like in the near future.

We are thrilled to announce that Enrique Peñalosa, former mayor of Bogotá, Columbia and a leader in Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) implementation, will join Paul Steely White of Transportation Alternatives and the East Side Streets Coalition to launch the East Side Action Plan, the first ever community-driven plan for safer streets on Manhattan’s East Side, East Harlem to Chinatown. Join us to learn the actions you can take to make the Plan’s design and policy recommendations a reality.
