Albany Bicycle Master Plan
The city is making opportunities available through Zoom meetings, online surveys, and direct contact to gather your input on visions for the city.
Sharing your input on this plan is an opportunity to shape the future of our city and the results of this plan. Consultants working for the city frequently mention the paucity of response and input from residents/street users when doing studies for the city.
The City's Department of Planning and Development is building on the 2009 Bicycle Master Plan with an added pedestrian component. The city asks your help building upon the plan.
Please direct any questions or comments to Zachary Powell (zpowell@albanyny.gov)

Political Committee
The Political Committee makes recommendations for endorsement of candidates in Federal, State, and local elections and works on the races of those selected candidates. The recommendations are made based on a review of the candidates' voting record in office. If the candidate is not currently in office the candidates will complete a questionnaire and attend an interview to provide their position on environmental issues. If the Political Committee decides to begin the endorsement process for a particular race, all candidates will be offered the opportunity to apply.
