DOT's Pedestrian Projects
Thursday, October 15th, 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Safeguarding pedestrians is Nolan Levenson's job. The Project Manager of the Pedestrian Projects Group at the New York City Department of Transportation (DOT), he will be the guest speaker at this month's Albemarle Neighborhood Association (ANA) meeting.
Mr. Levenson received a Master's degree in Urban Planning, Transportation from New York University. In his position at DOT, he manages multiple projects focused on improving pedestrian safety on New York City's streets. He is particularly interested in pedestrian and bicycle planning and safety.
Attendees at ANA's September meeting raised questions about recently-installed traffic-calming measures in our neighborhood, such as traffic lanes and road markings.
The streets by the newly-opened school building at 713 Caton Avenue--the Parkside Educational Complex--were of special interest. Located between E. 7th and E. 8th streets, the building houses a Pre-K Center, P.S. 130 Upper School, M.S. 839, and a special education school.
Mr. Levenson will provide the answers to the questions raised last month as well as any new ones.
Admission and refreshments are free. Light refreshments will be provided by Foodtown and ANA.
