Profile: Helen Rosenthal

Helen Rosenthal, Council District 6, Manhattan

A lifelong cyclist who looks forward to commuting to City Hall by bicycle,Helen Rosenthal will work to bring Citi Bike to the Upper West Side and, with the inclusion of Central Park in District 6, remove cars once and for all from the park loop. As chair of Community Board 7, she laid the groundwork for the Columbus Avenue bike path, and will work with the community for similar improvements on Amsterdam Avenue, as well as the connection of crosstown paths through Central Park to the Hudson River Greenway. Rosenthal welcomes the chance to explore crosstown Select Bus Service between the Upper West and Upper East Sides, and the eventual completion of an uninterrupted greenway around Manhattan.
