Today is the RSVP deadline for the upcoming meeting of the Empire State Passengers Association in Schnectady.

A regular meeting of members of the Empire State Passengers Association, your advocates for improved rail service in New York State.

Less than a month after a drunk driver leaving a party at Chelsea Piers drove onto the Hudson River Greenway and killed a cyclist, Chelsea Piers wants to cut another driveway from their parking lot across the westside greenway. Chelsea Piers will make its proposal to Manhattan Community Board 4's Transportation Committee on Wednesday, Dec. 20. Each additional driveway cutting across the bike lanes adds the potential for a fatal collision, like the one that killed Dr. Carl Nacht in June. Here is a chance to attend this meeting and voice opposition to this proposal!

Some of us at Streetsblog headquarters were talking about putting together a sidebar listing of recommended books to reinforce the commentary you find on the blog. I put together a few brief recommendations of five of my favorites, but we're also interested in learning what you've all been reading and what you'd suggest to others, so treat this as an open thread on livable streets-related books now that we're in the midst of the holiday gift-buying season.
