Dear Supporters,
Our petition to light the East River Park track has received over 700 signatures, demonstrating strong community support for this much-needed improvement! Now, we have a key opportunity coming up Thursday, 2/13, to move this initiative forward!
We are presenting at Manhattan Community Board 3’s Parks, Recreation, Waterfront, & Resiliency Committee meeting (details), and we need your support. If the committee votes to pass a resolution to support adding lights to the track, it will mark a major step forward and pave the way for us to secure funding from city and state officials.
🗳️ Community Board 3 Meeting Details
🗓 Date: Thursday, February 13, 2025
⏰ Time: 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
📍 Location: BRC Senior Services Center, 30 Delancey Street, New York, NY 10002 (map)
🔗 RSVP
Your voice can make a real impact! Here’s how you can help:
Attend the meeting to help demonstrate demand for this initiative.
Speak during public comment section to share why lighting the East River Track matters to you. Focus on one or two key points, and share personal experiences. Be respectful and positive—writing your comments down can help if you're nervous.
At our recent presentation to the East Side Coastal Resiliency (ESCR) Community Advisory Group, we learned that lighting was never actively championed during planning for the park's reconstruction. Now is our chance to change that.
Let’s show that the community wants safe, nighttime access to the track. Hope to see you there!
