Brooklyn Community Board 6 Meeting on 9th Street Ped Safety and Bike Lanes, Park Slope One-Ways, Grand Army Plaza and Red Hook Bike Lanes

7:01 PM EDT on April 6, 2007

Last Thursday, Community Board 6's transportation committee voted to approve bike lanes, traffic-calming and pedestrian safety plans for 9th Street in Park Slope, Brooklyn. A vocal contingent from 9th Street, some of whom are members of the Community Board, are trying to kill the plan. Come out to show your support for a bike lane on 9th Street in Park Slope. DOT plans for one-way avenues in Park Slope and pedestrian and bike improvements in Grand Army Plaza and bike lanes in Red Hook will also be voted on.
