Date: 03/07/2008 The year 2007 may prove to be one of the most important years in the storied history of New York City's development. In a future timeline of urban advances, it might be printed in as big a font and as bold a type as 1811--when the grid system was adopted--or 1904--when the I.R.T. subway opened. The text adjacent to 2007 could say something like "the start of livable streets," or "the bike boom begins," or "congestion pricing kicks off." It may turn out that all of those descriptions may suit 2007. The real question is, in hindsight, will they?

Holiday Season Brings More Cars to Prospect ParkMedia Outlet: Brooklyn Heights CourierOriginal Filename: 041206brooklyn Date: 12/06/2004 The more time cars have to traverse Prospect Park, the less it resembles an urban sanctuary, advocates of fewer cars in the park said this week. In a series of letters to this newspaper, local residents; many of whom are members of Transportation Alternatives, a pedestrian and cyclist advocacy group, railed against the Department of Transportation's (DOT) decision to extend holiday hours, allowing automobiles access 24 hours a day to motorists, Monday through Friday and excluding holidays, through December.

Letter to Commissioner Iris Weinshall, NYC Department of Transportation, Calling for a Car-Free Summer in Prospect ParkDear Commissioner Weinshall, We call for a car-free Prospect Park. We include New York City's major environmental, transportation and civic organizations and three former commissioners of the Department of Transportation. Given Brooklyn's scarcity of parkland, and the intensive use of Prospect Park, we feel very strongly that making Prospect Park car-free would be a major step forward for Brooklyn, its quality of life and environment. Indeed, there are few things that would provide such a big boon for Brooklyn, at so little cost. Testimony Date: 09/04/2002 Old Filename: 020904prosppark
