Not sure if this will get much coverage as its on the same day as the MTA board meeting and a CUNY symposium on the transit strike, but FYI:
Chairperson Liu will hold an oversight hearing on the MTA's emergency evacuation and communication failures during recent subway disruptions that stranded thousands of commuters and left them in the dark literally and figuratively. The hearing will take place at City Hall on Thursday September 28, 2006 at 10:00 am.
UPDATE:
The City Council oversight hearing on the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's emergency evacuation and communication procedures, originally scheduled for tomorrow (Thursday, September 28, 2006), will now take place on Thursday, October 5, 2006 in City Hall.
Good idea.
