Join us for a roundtable discussion to celebrate the release of our recommendations on shaping future streets for care.
Streets are known as the public Right of Way. Yet, marginalized New Yorkers, such as children, older adults, and people with disabilities, are often most vulnerable in these spaces. As traffic violence soars and pedestrians navigate new obstacles on the street and sidewalk, we need to transform streets to care for and serve all users of the public realm.
We will hear bold new proposals from Streets Ahead’s Care Working Group members Jenna Miller and Tei Carpenter, along with NYLPI’s Eman Rimawi-Doster and artist Emmanuel Oni.
How can streets center safety, care, and healing for New Yorkers of all ages, races, and abilities?
