One Fort Greene resident just launched a PR campaign to try to get Zipcar, a car sharing service, to bring a few cars to the Fort Greene/Clinton Hill area because the Prospect Heights and Brooklyn Heights garages are too far away. Now, we know that some of our readers think that Brooklynites should be driving less — but according to the Zipcar website, their company agrees. Zipcar users tend to decide against purchasing a car (or sell the one they own), drive less, and use other forms of transportation “With each Zipcar replacing over 20 privately-owned vehicles,” the site reports, “we’re changing the urban landscape.” If you’re interested in brining Zipcars to Fort Greene, sign this petition — if enough people sign on, the company is likely to respond.
