Wednesday's Headlines: Honoring Public Space Heroes Edition - Streetsblog New York City
Briefly

The article announces the upcoming 'Public Space Awards' party organized by Open Plans, set for May 1, honoring those enhancing the city’s public spaces. Christine Berthet, a key advocate for pedestrians, will receive a lifetime achievement award. It also addresses the ongoing dangers of car-related fatalities, highlighting a recent tragic incident involving an e-bike rider. Furthermore, it mentions improved Access-a-Ride services and critiques the Adams administration's late release of urban design guidelines aimed at improving city livability.

Forgive us for saying 'too little, too late,' but at least the Adams administration has finally released a report, 'Building a Family-Friendly City: Design Guidelines for a Safer, More Livable Public Realm.'
