Marty Markowitz Smartens Up
Hey Brooklyn - Smarten Up!
I'm a month late to posting this, but now that I've had a chance to clean up my desk it's still worth putting up. Cycling and livable streets advocates have had a contentious relationship with the Borough President. I've personally found his perspective on bike lanes, traffic calming and PPW in particular to be . . . frustrating. So I was genuinely and pleasantly surprised when the BP's office came out with this informative and balanced flyer.
A timely reminder that even when you disagree, even strongly, on some issues there can be areas of common ground to work together. Anyway, this is a welcome step in the right direction.

Meeting at 250 baltic on Street safety
UPDATE 3/3/09 - POSTPONED! I'll post the rescheduled details when available.
Kevin Duffy has been working hard for months on improving street safety on 9th Street, among other area streets. Thanks to his efforts Brooklyn DOT will be in the neighborhood tomorrow to hear from concerned residents. I'll be there and I hope you'll join us. From the mailbox:
No Kevin, thank you!

An fyi, there is scheduled meeting tomorrow at CB6 offices at 250 Baltic Street at 4pm to discuss traffic conditions and safety proposals, including rerouting commercial truck routes.
Craig Hammerman, CB6 District manager and Joseph Palmieri, Brooklyn Borough DOT commissioner will attend. Consequently, this meeting will be important as effective representative leadership will be on hand.
I encourage anyone and everyone interested in participating in this strategy discussion to attend. It is informal and an important community issue. Thoughts and implemented ideas are likely to set the tone for other streets in our increasingly residential neighborhood.
Thank you all!
No Kevin, thank you!

Streetsblog: CB6 Committee Approves 9th Street Project
Good news today from Streetsblog (and from the CB6 transportation committee) on dangerous stretch of 9th Street.
Plan for traffic calming and bike lanes approved by the Transportation Committee last night. Nice.
