The Upper West Side Streets Rennaisance, a group that advocates for a more pedestrian-and-bike-friendly neighborhood, is planning to propose a new 20-mile-per-hour speed limit for the Upper West Side. In most of the city, the speed limit is 30 mph. (Columbia Spectator)
A Puerto Rican advocacy group has been protesting outside ABC News headquarters on 66th and Columbus because of a line from the show “Work It” that was demeaning to Puerto Ricans. The show has been canceled but they want an apology and a meeting. I saw another unrelated protest over bias against African-Americans at ABC in the past month or two. (Fox News Latino)
