Courier-Life covers the transportation meeting of the Park Slope Civic Council:

Aaron Naparstek told the Council March 2 that traffic is viewed as inevitable the way cholera was viewed more than a century ago, whereas it should be looked at as a human-made problem, and mitigated as one.

To deal with the onslaught of vehicles that promises only to get worse as a smorgasbord of planned developments including the Atlantic Yards project and Brooklyn Bridge Park towers come to fruition – if in fact they do – Naparstek and colleagues are calling on the city to improve public transit and create new bike lanes, helping Brooklynites to leave their cars at home.
