This is your chance to hear from the Department of Transportation on the proposed improvements and give your suggestions for how to make them work for your community. The slated goals of the improvements is to speed bus trips through the corridor go faster and enhance biking safety with dozens of blocks of protected bike lanes.

The plan is good, but not perfect. Upper Green Side will be there with Transportation Alternative to advocate for a more connected network of protected bike lanes, and other fine tunings to the plan. But what we need the most is for concerned residents to turn out and be apart of the discussion.
