NYC Councilmembers watch as Mayor Bill de Blasio signs a bill making the city’s Open Streets program permanent, May 2021.
‘The limited Open Streets we have are not distributed equitably. There are no active Open Streets in any of the six community boards that have the fewest residents living near parks. Of all the active Open Street miles in operation today, only 2.2 percent are in the Bronx.’
‘Climate refugees will always consider New York a safe haven. We have to develop a permanent settlement program that gets refugees involved in our communities.’
‘CLTs won’t be able to achieve their potential without meaningful support from our city government.’
‘This draconian attack on the Title X Family Planning Program will have devastating consequences for vulnerable New Yorkers.’
