This Week: Tell DOT to Prioritize a Safer Times Plaza in 2017

DOT took steps this year to recognize the need for improvements at Times Plaza -- the triangle at the deadly intersection of Flatbush, Atlantic, and Fourth avenues in Downtown Brooklyn -- but has yet to see the project through.

On Saturday Transportation Alternatives will hold a rally, with Borough President Eric Adams, to urge the city to fix Times Plaza in 2017.

Check the Streetsblog calendar for the full list of this week’s events.

    • Wednesday: The Biking Public Project holds its holiday party. Enjoy complimentary food and drinks while getting up to speed on this year’s research project with food delivery workers. 7 p.m.
    • Thursday: TA's Staten Island committee meets to plan bike rides and campaigns to change dangerous streets in the borough. 6:30 p.m.
    • Saturday: Join TA in calling on DOT to make much-needed safety improvements at Times Plaza in Downtown Brooklyn. RSVP requested.

Watch the calendar for updates. Drop us a line if you have an event we should know about.
