In advance of an important Fourth Avenue Safety Visioning Workshop hosted by the Department of Transportation and the Borough President’s Office, Forth on Fourth is holding a planning session tomorrow (Wednesday) at 6:30 PM.

Via Park Slope Patch:

If you want to help identify and support problem areas, suggestions, and strategies on the thoroughfare — notorious for speeding and danger to pedestrians — come to the Forth on Fourth Avenue Committee’s planning session this Wed., Jan. 23 at 6:30 p.m.

The meeting, which will generate ideas for February’s meeting with the Department of Transportation, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz and the Fourth Avenue Task Force, will take place at the Fifth Avenue Committee office at 621 Degraw Street (between Third and Fourth Avenues).

The FOFA meeting will help spark, expand, and share community ideas that can be presented at the DOT meeting, which be a public workshop to explore Fourth Avenue’s future.

Maps and other resources will be available to help identify and support problem areas, suggestions, and strategies.

This is a real opportunity to make sure that Fourth becomes not just a high-speed thoroughfare for automobiles, but a safe and vibrant neighborhood.  More information is available at the Park Slope Civic Council’s website.
