Transportation Meetings Tonight

September 20th, 2007 · No Comments

There are a couple of transportation-related Community Board sessions in Brooklyn tonight. One is a Community Board 6 Transportation Committee Meeting that is taking place in Park Slope. That session will take place at 6:30PM at Middle School 51, which is located at 350 Fifth Avenue. There will be a presentation by representatives from the Department of Transportation about PlaNYC 2030 Transportation initiatives, which includes a proposed Congestion Pricing pilot program. There will also be an update from DOT about the Downtown Brooklyn Traffic Calming Plan initiatives designed to make streets safer and discussion of needs along the Fourth Avenue corridor and nearby streets.

There’s also a Community Board 1 Transportation Committee Meeting tonight. That one will cover, among other things, designs for the reconstruction of Nassau Avenue and the “buildouts” of more sidewalks in Williamsburg for bike racks like the ones installed at N. 7th Street and Bedford Avenue at the L Train station exit. The meeting takes place at 6:30 at Our Lady of the Snow Facility, which is located at 410 Graham Avenue (between Jackson Avenue and Withers Street).
