Upper Green Side

Understanding PlaNYC 2030 at the Community Level

Upper Green Side applauds the Bloomberg Administration’s focus and leadership on environmental issues through it’s PlaNYC 2030 initiatives. On May 7th the Upper Green Side board unanimously voted to support the Mayor’s PlaNYC 2030 initiatives including congestion pricing.

The entire plan is staggering both in the array of issues and the time scale involved. It is expected that much of this will probably be modified over time as different stakeholders provide more specific input at their community level. That is why it is so important for local community members to make sure that when these initiatives are implemented in our community that they not only achieve the desired environmental and sustainability goals, but also fit the needs of the community to improve quality of life.

Upper Green Side is committed to making sure that local environmental voices are heard as the PlaNYC initiatives are rolled out at the community. This month, instead of having our regular monthly meeting, we are inviting all our members to attend a information session on PlaNYC hosted by Citizen’s Committee for NYC.

Wednesday, May 30, 2007, 6:30 PM
Citizen’s for NYC offices
305 Seventh Avenue, between 27th and 28th 15th Floor
New York, NY 10001

We hope everyone concerned about environmental issues at the community level can come out to learn more and see how we can make a difference in shaping PlaNYC in the Upper East and West Sides - in making them both Upper Green Sides!
