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.

    • Sunday: It's been three years since the Prospect Park West bike lane was installed. Join a community ride to celebrate the lane -- there will be contests, prizes, food, and lots more. 11:00 a.m.
