Hundreds attended to voice their concerns about issues such as public transportation, quality of life, zoning and the environment.

To respond to each topic, Senator Squadron has invited everyone to participate in a series of conference calls on four consecutive Wednesday evenings at 5:30 PM The first, on September 23, 2009, dealt with Buses, Subways, MTA Funding, and MTA Issues; Pedestrian Safety, Street Changes, Bicycle Lanes, and Traffic Control; Environmental Sustainability and Alternative Energy; and Parks and Open Space.
