    To Continue Our Recognition of Women in Significant Governmental

    Mentoring Mondays January 11, 2021 To continue our recognition of women in significant governmental positions, this week we will look at the “Women Who Speak for Biden” (excerpts from a reprint from USA Today). This marks the first time that women will hold all of the communications positions for the White House. Each has extensive experience and are accustomed to working with each other. Jen Psaki will lead the communications team as White House Press Secretary – Psaki is a veteran of President Obama’s administration and has overseen the confirmation team for Biden’s transition. Her training as State Department spokesman is among the best. As communications director in 2015 and 2016, Psaki reorganized the White House approach to media with more attention for non-traditional and online outlets. She served as traveling press secretary for Obama during his reelection campaign. Karine Jean-Pierre will serve as Principal Deputy Press Secretary – Karine was a senior advisor on the Biden campaign, and was chief of staff to Kamala Harris. She was chief public affairs officer for MoveOn.org and a political analyst for NBC and MSNBC. Jean-Pierre was regional political director for the White House Office of Political Affairs during the Obama- Biden administration and served as deputy battleground states director for Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign. Kate Bedingfield will be White House Communications Director – Bedingfield served as communications director for Biden when he was vice president and associate communications director, deputy director of media affairs and the director of response in the Obama-Biden White House. Before joining the Biden White House team, Bedingfield was communications director to Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) on her successful 2008 Senate campaign, along with other roles on Democratic campaigns.

    Chapter 2: Project Alternatives A. INTRODUCTION

    Chapter 2: Project Alternatives A. INTRODUCTION Numerous alternatives have been developed and analyzed for a new Second Avenue Subway since the project was first conceived nearly 75 years ago. Although routes continued to evolve during those seven decades, three major plans were developed: a 1929 plan with an alignment under Second Avenue and Water Street, 1940s plans with a similar alignment to the 1929 plan but with additional connections to the Nassau Street Line and the Manhattan Bridge, and a 1968 plan (also along Second Avenue and Water Street), which was partially constructed in East Harlem and the Lower East Side in the late 1970s before construction was suspended because of New York City’s fiscal situation at the time. Most recently, MTA/NYCT undertook an extensive Major Investment Study (MIS) and Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), published in 1999, that analyzed a wide range of possible alternatives to ease transit problems on Manhattan’s East Side. That study, known as the Manhattan East Side Transit Alternatives (MESA) Study, was undertaken in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the MIS process established by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA), now the Transportation Efficiency Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21). For more information on the process and the extensive public outreach effort for the MESA Study, see Chapter 4, “Public Outreach and Review Process.” The MIS/DEIS evaluated a large number of possible alternatives, considering the project’s goals and

    Chapter 23: Response to Comments on the SDEIS1

    Chapter 23: Response to Comments on the SDEIS1 A. INTRODUCTION This chapter summarizes and responds to all substantive comments on the Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (SDEIS) published in March 2003 for the Second Avenue Subway. Public review for the SDEIS began on March 2003, with publication and distribution of the document. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) held two public hearings to receive comments on the document: on May 12, 2003 in the auditorium of the Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House at One Bowling Green (Lower Manhattan); and on May 13, 2003, in the Hecksher Auditorium at El Museo del Barrio, 1230 Fifth Avenue (at 104th Street in East Harlem). The public comment period remained open until June 10, 2003. The SDEIS was circulated to involved and interested agencies and other parties and posted on the MTA’s website, and notice of its availability and the public hearing were published in the Federal Register on April 11, 2003. To advertise the public hearing, MTA published notices in the New York Post, Hoy, Amsterdam News, Chinese World Journal, and New York Daily News. In addition, information on the public hearing was posted on the MTA’s website, a notice of public hearing was mailed to all public officials and interested parties in the MTA service area; and a press release announcing the hearing was sent to all media outlets in the area. Bilingual signs announcing the hearing were posted in all MTA New York City Transit (NYCT) subway stations and on some buses. Brochures were handed out in major Manhattan East Side NYCT subway stations.
