Join the Working Group
If you would like to contribute your ideas, efforts, and possible expertise toward realizing this project, please consider joining the vision42 working group.
The project benefits greatly from the contributed talents and efforts of our volunteers — these have included brainstorming, assisting at presentations, website editing and updating, attending community board meetings, and designing leaflets and images for this website.
We normally meet on the third Tuesday of each month (September 2007 will be different — see NEWS/Upcoming Events), from 6pm to 8pm, at a central midtown office.
If you are interested in participating and would like to receive the Agenda, please send your name, e-mail address, and areas of interest to info@vision42.org.

Learn more about light rail on a Study Tour of the Hudson Bergen Light Rail Transit line! This is a special invitation to members of Community Boards 4, 5, and 6, and others, as space permits. We'll be traveling to New Jersey by ferry, with tickets courtesy of Arthur Imperatore, Jr., President of New York Waterway. We'll meet at the beautiful new ferry terminal at West 39th Street and the Hudson River at 11 am, returning at 4 pm, after riding the light rail, learning about how the line came to be realized, and having a "Dutch treat" lunch at a cafe in Jersey City. Reservations need to be made by July 18th, through info@vision42.org.

The Urban Land Institute, New York District Council, hosted a forum "Transportation Transformed: Innovations in the Tapestry of Urban Transit" on Tuesday, March 6, 2007, at 5 Times Square. Presentations were made on vision42, the High Line, the Water Taxi system, and THE (Trans-Hudson Express) Tunnel. Featured were key findings by vision42 consultants on the plan's construction costs and staging, its traffic impacts, and its projected economic and fiscal benefits of more than $1 billion annually — in large part the result of an expected increase of 35 percent more pedestrian traffic.
If you'd like to learn more about vision42, its traffic impacts, its costs, and its (tremendous) economic potential, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with the key findings of the vision42 Technical Studies, as well as the full reports - all available on this website. |
