Neighborhood Forum on Street Safety, Tuesday, December 3

Forum organizers also include the groups Park Slope Parents and Park Slope Neighbors, the latter of which tried and failed to convince the city to make the neighborhood a so-called “Slow Zone” in 2011. Now it thinks there might be more momentum behind such measures.

Tuesday’s meeting comes on the heels of a well-attended march and rally in Fort Greene last month and high turnout at the most recent meeting of the 78th Precinct Community Council.
