Thursday, March 10 Is CB6’s Prospect Park West Bike Lane Finale

I make no guarantees about the ultimate accuracy of this headline, but you've got to admit that next week's Brooklyn Community Board 6 forum on the Prospect Park West redesign is shaping up to be a showstopper [PDF].

After all the rallies, surveys, Marcia Kramer segments, senatorial intrigue, threats of lawsuits, and mountains of data that have poured forth, you'd better make it out to the John Jay High School auditorium next Thursday to weigh in on a redesign that figured prominently in no fewer than three 2010 Streetsies (Best Bicycle Project, Biggest Demonstration Crowd, and NIMBYs of the Year).

Back in January, DOT presented its plan to install raised pedestrian medians on PPW, and CB6 invited people to ask the agency about all the data it's collected on the project. This time, the community board is accepting public testimony.

You can tell two CB6 committees what you think of the new PPW and other street safety projects in the district. Here's what they're looking to discuss:

This is your chance to be heard and speak up for safer streets. The hearing starts next Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at 237 Seventh Avenue, between 4th and 5th Street. Get there a little early if you plan to speak.
