With all the excitement about bike-share launching this week, don't forget the community-level meetings where your voice can help make a big difference. This week, many of those meetings are happening in Brooklyn, from Sunset Park to Midwood to Crown Heights. Here are the details:

    • Also Thursday: DOT will talk with Brooklyn Community Board 14's transportation committee about Slow Zones and the agency's Congested Corridor study for Flatbush Avenue. 7:00 p.m.
