Panel Description: 
 
Launched on Earth Day, 2007 Mayor Bloomberg's PlaNYC 2030 promised to
address the major environmental sustainability issues facing the city, with
127 initiatives on housing, open space, water, air quality, transportation,
brownfields, and the city's impact on climate change. In its first year,
PlaNYC launched 118 of these initiatives, and in 2008 issued a report on
progress. Some programs (such as transitioning the city's taxi fleet to
hybrid vehicles) have had great success, and others (such as congestion
pricing) have come up against challenges. Part of Mayor Bloomberg's promise
was to hold PlaNYC accountable for results. Two years into PlaNYC 2030, this
panel will discuss the status of some of these initiatives, accomplishments,
and lessons learned
