		<description><![CDATA[<p>In the American Museum of Natural History, on the Sunday afternoon of Earth Day 2007, Mayor Michael Bloomberg will unveil <a href="http://home2.nyc.gov/html/planyc2030/html/home/home.shtml">PlaNYC 2030</a>, a 25-year approach to handling the expected influx of more than 1 million new New Yorkers. The announcement will cap many months of planning and speculation regarding the plan, and will mark the kick-off of initiatives likely to long outlive the Mayor&#039;s own administration.</p>
<p>The plan will have 127 initiatives meant to meet a wide variety of challenges spawned by the population growth. It calls for planting one million trees in the five boroughs in the next decade; and for building decks over trainyards so that apartment buildings can then be built on the decks. And, <a href="http://www.observer.com/20070205/20070205_Matthew_Schuerman_pageone_financialpress.asp">perhaps most controversially</a>, the plan will call for charging motorists to drive toward midtown on most days. Motorists could be charged as much as $8 every weekday to drive south of 86th Street.</p>
<p>The complete details of PlaNYC 2030 will be available by late Sunday afternoon. </p>
