Event Registration

Join the Newtown Creek Alliance for a walking tour to witness and discuss last mile warehouse pollution and other related environmental issues along Newtown Creek. The tour will bring us to several last mile facilities to witness firsthand the impact of excessive truck traffic on issues including pedestrian safety, air pollution, and aquatic habitat vitality. The tour also highlights the growing movement for cleaner freight and introduces the proposed Clean Delivers Act, which would require large warehouses to reduce emissions and address their environmental impacts. We will begin at Onderdonk House in Ridgewood and make our way through industrial portions of Maspeth. In total, the walk is approximately 2.5 miles long and features some adverse sidewalk conditions. The route is not wheelchair accessible.
