Community Board 8 Meeting Tonight

There’s a meeting of the transportation committee of Brooklyn’s Community Board 8 tonight at 7 PM that you may want to attend.  The DOT is presenting plans for the Washington Avenue safety project which will include traffic calming, shorter pedestrian crossings, and more.  The meeting takes place at the Haitian American Day Care Center,  at 1491 Bedford Ave.

Prospect Heights Patch has more on the meeting.

The NYC Department of Transportation will be presenting their plans for changes to Washington Avenue and Grand Army Plaza at Community Board 8’s transportation committee meeting tonight, including plans for bike lanes at both locations and a new traffic light at Grand Army Plaza.

The board will vote on these proposals, but the vote is advisory: the DOT will take the community’s concerns into account, but can still go forward with the plan.
