Soon, Council Members will vote on City of Yes for Housing Opportunity; but not before they decide if they’ll change, or remove, any of its proposals. We're rallying on Thursday, September 26th to remind them that lifting parking mandates is an essential piece of the puzzle. Without lifting parking mandates, New York City cannot build the desperately needed new housing intended by City of Yes.?
So join us at City Hall on Thursday, September 26th at 11:30AM to make sure every Council Member sees that New Yorkers want a city that puts people over parking!
Get your CM on the line re: parking mandates?
This fall, join fellow NYers in a virtual meeting with your Council Member to push for lifting parking mandates, making way for safer, more walkable streets. Sign up now & we’ll give you everything you need to advocate effectively.
