For those of you who missed it, last night's event with Jan Gehl was a great kick-off to the Upper West Side Streets Renaissance campaign. The JCC on the Upper West Side hosted a full house to hear Gehl talk about what could be for NYC's streets, and he outlined a vision for turning Manhattan into one of the world's most bike- and pedestrian-friendly cities. DOT commissioner Jeanette Sadik-Khan was on hand to introduce Gehl, and City Council member Gail Brewer was there as well.

The event made the front page of this morning's metro, and StreetFilms has already put out a short video from the event. For more detailed coverage, check out this morning's post on StreetsBlog.

Thanks to everyone who worked hard to make this event happen -- it was great to see such a large, enthusiastic crown interested in improving NYC's public spaces.
