Bed Stuy Would Like Funding for a Host of Projects

A few days ago Community Board 3 member L. Joy Williams posted a picture on Twitter outlining a list of funding requests from the board, which covers Bed Stuy, to the city. The list is still a work in progress, but here are a few points of interest so far: among the already-funded requests, reconstruction of Nostrand Avenue from Flushing to Atlantic; rehab of Charlie’s Place Playground and Pulaski Park; refurbishing the Franklin Avenue Shuttle Station; and additional staff and hours for the Macon Library. The longer, unfunded list of requests includes the construction of a sanitation garage; affordable housing and retail developments on Atlantic Ave. and Fulton Street; a rehab of the Sumner Avenue Armory; funding for a dedicated Skywatch for the neighborhood; and more sanitation manpower. A more detailed report on the 2011 Budget Requests can be found here.
