In 2015 Transportation Alternatives won a huge victory when New York City took bold steps to change Queens Boulevard, known as the "Boulevard of Death," to the Boulevard of life.
Accompany other conference attendees to meet volunteers who helped make a complete street on Queens Boulevard. We'll depart from NYU at 2:45 PM and arrive in Sunnyside Queens at 3:15 PM. Once there we'll ride Citibike the length of the completed Queens Boulevard bike lane and talk about the advocacy efforts that helped achieve this momentous victory. We'll then go to a nearby restaurant for some tasty local food.Led by Jaime Moncayo, Queens Organizer, Transportation Alternatives and Chelsea Yamada, Transportation Alternatives Senior Ambassador
