Outdoor Dining Rally & Presser
Join us on Monday, November 24 at 9AM at Filé Gumbo Bar as we mark the end of NYC’s outdoor dining season—and call out why this popular program needs urgent reform. We’ll highlight the inequities of the current rules, uplift restaurant and community voices, and show City Council just how strong the demand is for year-round outdoor dining. Join us for this press conference and help us build momentum ahead of the 10AM Council hearing that day—your presence matters!
Book Talk: The Shoup Doctrine with Dr. Daniel Hess and Ryan Russo
Donald Shoup's parking reforms have quietly revolutionized how cities think about their streets, and we're celebrating with a book talk you won't want to miss. Join us for an evening with Dr. Daniel Baldwin Hess, editor of The Shoup Doctrine: Essays Celebrating Donald Shoup and Parking Reforms. Daniel will present the book's key insights, followed by a conversation about implementing these reforms in cities today with special guest moderator Ryan Russo, Executive Director of NACTO.
#FYI: Vehicle Miles Traveled
Driving in New York City has increased 16% since 2005, with private vehicles accounting for 80% of all miles traveled. This rise in Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) is fueling our crises in congestion, traffic violence, and pollution—undermining Vision Zero goals and quality of life across all five boroughs.
Join us in this lunch hour webinar to explore why tracking and reducing VMT is essential for achieving our transportation and climate goals, and learn about proven strategies—from Bus Rapid Transit and Low Traffic Neighborhoods to parking reform and congestion pricing expansion—that can work in dense urban environments like ours.
