Go ahead and clear your Tuesday evening schedule. With street redesigns on the agendas of five community boards in four boroughs, there's probably something close to home happening tomorrow night. The projects up for discussion include safety plans for Linden Boulevard in Brooklyn, 111th Street in Queens, and Clove Road in Staten Island.
