MEMORANDUM

SUBJECT: BRONX COMMUNITY MEETINGS; FIRST MEETING ON THE CONSENSUS ACTION PLAN
DATE: February 12, 2001
pc: T. Schulze, W. Cheung, A. Tyrell, NYMTC Staff

As you are probably aware, our informal group has met on several occasions to discuss the Sheridan Expressway Analysis recently completed by New York State DOT and to resolve conflicts and explore possible consensus actions for addressing community and agency concerns related to the Sheridan Expressway. The Consensus Action Plan is a result of those discussions. The Plan lays out a number of action steps to resolve issues in key problem areas. It will serve as a basis for our future meetings over the next several months.

The first meeting to begin implementation of the Consensus Action Plan is scheduled for Tuesday,April 3, 2001 at 10 a.m. The meeting will be held at Youth Ministries for Peace and Justice. Note that this is a new location for our meetings!! An agenda for the meeting is below, which addresses items A-6 and B-1 in the Plan.

As we move this discussion forward and work toward possible consensus between agencies and stakeholders, I hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to participate. Please feel free to contact me at (212) 938-3443 if you have any comments and questions. Thanks.
