Sorry Gene I know nothing about building websites and really don't have the
time to learn right now.
The reason I bring to this list the work I am doing in Brooklyn is because I
want a wide spread effort to install APS throughout NYC not just on 23rd and
7th where the efforts seem to be concentrated. I submitted a list that has
gone unaddressed except for the request to narrow. Fact is, we as a
coalitions have been working with the Manhattan DOT commissioner and not the
NYC DOT commissioner where I believe our efforts should be concentrated thus
mandating a city wide effort not a single borough effort. Please don't
misunderstand me the education for the Manhattan DOT will go far in
assisting them in understanding our issue; however, we really must
understand the Manhattan DOT only works and cares about Manhattan not
informing their colleagues of the issue.
Thanks for your understanding,
Mike

Mike,
I believe our mission already covers many topics related to safe travel
environments. The difficulty is, of course, that we are a small groups with
an even smaller number of people actually doing direct work. It's not our
mission, but how much we can practically take on, that restricts us. We
don't have a group of interns to work for us. We have a few of us spending
many hours trying to effect change. And our focused goals right now are
already a challenge.
I wish that your agency had collaborated with PASS on the Brooklyn project
you are spearheading. Instead we now have efforts for many APS in a small
area of Brooklyn, while PASS advocates for the best widespread installation
of APS across the city. This doesn't seem like a coordinated and effective
approach.
Karen and I have discussed the website numerous times, and I am trying to
find the time to identify an affordable (very affordable) site with a good
site-builder facility. Maybe someone else want to take this on. Mike, if
you can do it faster and more efficiently, go for it. And let me know how I
can help.
Thanks.
Gene
