Press Release: CBN Events
The Council of Brooklyn Neighborhoods announces two upcoming events!
HO! HO! HO! MERRY GRIDLOCK!
Friday, November 24th marks the start of the official Holiday Shopping Frenzy and it is very likely that the area around the proposed Atlantic Yards will be gifted with tremendous traffic (read: gridlock). CBN’s traffic analysis predicts these conditions could be almost daily events in the current Atlantic Yards plan. To highlight the need for further regional analysis and better area-wide traffic solutions, the Council of Brooklyn Neighborhoods will be holding an information event!
Event: Merry Gridlock
When: Friday, November 24th 2:00 - 3:30 p.m.
Where: Intersection of Flatbush, Atlantic and 4th Avenues (exact meeting place to be established.)
What: Merry Gridlock - An opportunity to point out how Atlantic Yards will exacerbate the already traffic-packed intersection of Atlantic, Flatbush, and 4th Avenues.
Volunteers will be holding signs, distributing literature, and helping pedestrians navigate these dangerous intersections
PUBLIC INFORMATION FORUM
On Thursday, November 30th, the Council of Brooklyn Neighborhoods will be holding a Public Information Forum to summarize the findings and concerns discussed in their response to the Atlantic Yards Final Environmental Impact Statement.
Event: Public Information Forum: Atlantic Yards EIS Findings and Concerns
When: Thursday, November 30th, 7:30 PM
Where: 85 South Oxford Avenue, Brooklyn, New York (meeting room of the Lafayette Presbyterian Church)
