Victory ride for cyclist group
Metro NY
The bicycle advocacy group Times Up! had been planning to stage a large ride on Wednesday from Union Square to One Police Plaza to demonstrate against the NYPD’s proposed changes to the parade law.
They are still planning to ride, but now for a victory lap.
...
Wednesday’s riders won’t be going to Police Plaza, but to New York City Technical College in Brooklyn for a public hearing on Bruce Ratner’s Atlantic Yards development.
Here's the event listing from Time's Up's website:
Title: Still We Ride Ride
Date: Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006
Time: 5:00 PM
Location: Union Square Park SouthSummary: Ride to public hearing about the Atlantic Yards, Brooklyn, draft environmental impact statement.
Details: HEARING ON ATLANTIC YARDS DEIS Wednesday, Aug. 23 4:30 - 8:30 p.m. New York City Technical College, Klitgord Auditorium 285 Jay Street (@ MetroTech, between Tillary & Johnson)
Join TIME'S UP! for a ride to the public hearing on the Atlantic Yards draft environmental impact statement. The project calls for 16 skyscrapers (of up to 53 stories!) and an arena that would cost taxpayers nearly $2 billion. The proposal abuses eminent domain and will create a traffic nightmare in downtown Brooklyn. More info at http://dddb.net/php/latestnews_ArchiveDate.php.
