Opinion: Prospect Heights Looks Forward to Shared Streets
The Local [Fort Greene/Clinton Hill]
by Elaine Mahoney
The New York City Department of Transportation's willingness to work with communities is cited as a stark contrast to you-know-what.
DOT has also designed a plan to improve safety measures down Washington Avenue in Prospect Heights, which hosted a total of 319 accidents between 2005 and 2009, according to the same state DMV and city DOT counts. The Community Board 8 Transportation Committee approved the plan two weeks ago, and it goes to vote at the full Community Board this Thursday, May 12. The most recent version of the plan reflected changes to parking recommended by residents and merchants at previous community meetings. The DOT’s openness to amendments is a welcome change to the lingering climate of bitterness surrounding Atlantic Yards.
