The presentations are happening at Manhattan CB 5 tonight and Brooklyn CB 9 tomorrow. Check out the official bike-share website to see where to go and find the demos happening near you. The rest of the important livable streets action this week is concentrated on Tuesday, when DOT will be providing updates on the plans for three important Brooklyn transportation projects.

More Tuesday: DOT updates Brooklyn Community Board 8 on the status of recent safety improvements to Washington Avenue. 7:00 p.m.
Still More Tuesday: In the latest round of community workshops for the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway, DOT presents the final route for the bike/ped path and solicits comments from the Greenpoint and Williamsburg communities. 7:30 p.m.
