It was merely advisory, but a vote at Community Board 2 on Wednesday spoke very clearly about how most people in brownstone neighborhoods feel about curb cuts and other actions that destroy the residential streetscape: According to a post on The Local, the board unanimously voted to support the Department of City Planning’s Residential Streetscape Preservation Text Amendment. The amendment would prohibit the creation of front yard parking in areas with predominantly one- and two-family houses (by implementing stricter planting rules) as well as block curb cuts for new buildings less than 40 feet wide in R4B through R8B districts. Hopefully this will be lay-up.
