New Yorkers will go to the polls tomorrow and cast votes in races for City Council, borough president, district attorney, and of course mayor and other citywide offices.

Tonight Manhattan Community Board 7 will take up an application to replace city-owned parking garages with affordable housing on W. 108th Street between Amsterdam and Columbus avenues.

With summer behind us, the Streetsblog calendar is filling out with DOT street safety projects again. There are three meetings in Brooklyn related to DOT safety improvements on the docket this week.

To shed some light on what's holding back progress at the MTA, on Thursday TransitCenter is hosting a panel of three former agency staffers who'll discuss its organizational structure and internal culture.

North of 24th Street, Fifth Avenue still lacks any bike infrastructure at all.

Transportation Alternatives is hosting two City Council candidate forums focused on the L train shutdown -- in Manhattan on Wednesday and Brooklyn on Thursday.

Word is that committee co-chair Bernard Haber wants to revisit his suggestion to implement the Northern Boulevard bike lane using land currently occupied by Alley Pond Golf Course, which was already rejected by DOT as too time-consuming and expensive without providing the safety benefit of narrowing all the asphalt currently devoted to motorized traffic.

This week DOT continues its series of public workshops on the plan to add protected bike lanes to Brooklyn’s Fourth Avenue, which connects Bay Ridge, Sunset Park, and Park Slope.

Earlier this month Manhattan Community Board 7, on the Upper West Side, passed a resolution calling on DOT to install a protected bike lane in Columbus Circle, filling a critical void in the bike network. Tonight the CB 5 transportation committee, whose district borders Columbus Circle to the southeast, will consider its own resolution.

In just a few months, Transportation Alternatives volunteers have collected more than 5,000 signatures from residents outside Manhattan calling for bike-share in their neighborhoods. On Wednesday, they'll rally with council members on the steps of City Hall for a system that can meet New York City's huge demand for bike-share.

The city has much more to do to improve the walking and biking environment above Brooklyn's central transit hub, and it's important to show up on Wednesday to let CB 2 and DOT know it.

After a motorist killed 78-year-old cyclist Michael Schenkman, DOT proposed six miles of protected bike lanes on Northern Boulevard and connecting streets. The plan will be the subject of a Queens CB 11 hearing Monday night.
