Your Voice Is Needed!

NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) will hold a Public Design Workshop for the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway on Wednesday, March 20, 2013.

DOT will be hosting its third public input session for the DUMBO and Vinegar Hill reconstruction project to accommodate the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway. At previous public input sessions, neighborhood residents brought up concerns about reconstruction of Belgian block roadways to accommodate bicyclists. At this meeting, DOT will present revised concepts for further public input on cobble reconstruction and the design of the Pearl Street Triangle Plaza.

Brooklyn Greenway Initiative’s view is that the City should not reconstruct any streets without making them accessible to bikes. Cobblestone streets were laid during the carriage age. They can be reconstructed in ways that honor their history, while still serving all of the tax payers today who are paying for them.

What is your view? Please attend this important meeting and express it.

When: Wednesday, March 20, 2013   6:00 pm – 7:00 pm

Where: NYU-Poly Incubator,   20 Jay Street, Suite 312, Brooklyn
