The Bicycle Access Bill requires commercial buildings to allow bicyclists entry, provided there is space set aside by their respective employers to accommodate them. Bicycling is the fastest-growing mode of transportation in NYC, and Transportation Alternatives is campaigning to double cycling by 2011 using tools like the Bicycle Access Bill. Encouraging bike commuting not only supports a more sustainable New York City, it also improves the health of New Yorkers.

“No other city in the country has a policy like the one City Council passed today,” says Paul Steely White, Executive Director of Transportation Alternatives. “When we open the doors of New York City’s workplaces to cyclists, tens of thousands of commuters are going to get on two wheels.”

New People is a 20,000 square foot, striking, contemporary building located at 1746 Post Street in the heart of San Francisco’s Japantown (one of only three remaining in the country). As a new destination and source of stimulation for both San Francisco locals and tourists, New People will bring a new cultural energy to an area filled with history. With three stories above and a basement below, New People will share Japanese cinema, retail and art, all under one roof. New people will attract those eager to explore new cultural inspirations or who would like a crash course in Japanese popular culture.
