Residents had a wide range of options available to spread their message from tablets and stickers to an actual soap box made of plastic milk crates.
Bronx resident Bival Pointer had a simple suggestion for Mayor Elect Bill De Blasio.
"Keep the promise and listen to the people. It's just that simple," he said.
Ten different foundations partnered to collect the feedback generated by the event in hopes that De Blasio is listening. The tent and mobile units around the city will be open until Saturday, November 23.
