Make Brooklyn’s Park Avenue Safer

The Myrtle Avenue Revitalization Project LDC (MARP), has a petition on Change.org to Make Brooklyn’s Park Avenue Safer for Pedestrians.

The traffic on Park Avenue is bad for our neighborhood – it’s dangerous, fast, and loud. But we can fix Park Avenue by transforming it from a speedway to a neighborhood street. By signing this petition, you’ll tell these agencies you want action now! View the full report at http://www.myrtleavenue.org/ParkAvenueSafetyPlan.pdf. Here’s a summary of the proposals:

Sitewide Interventions:
Retime Traffic Lights to Slow Park Avenue Traffic

Repave and Restripe Parking Areas

And that’s just part of the list. It’s an ambitions and necessary project. Please sign the petition.
