Over the past several months a few different initiatives have launched to address quality-of-life issues on 4th Avenue, and now another group, Forth on Fourth Avenue, or FOFA, joins the fray. FOFA was established as a Park Slope Civic Council committee earlier this month and is now focusing on several projects, including blocking the establishment of a drive-thru at the McDonald’s coming to the old KFC space on Warren; piloting a project between Bergen and Degraw to focus on street greening; and looking for ways to encourage “good neighbors” by sponsoring clean-ups and tree-planting initiatives. The committee meets the second Tuesday of every month 8 a.m. at the Brooklyn Lyceum, if you’re interested.

  1. 4th Avenue is not an industrial thoroughfare. It happens to be a truck route like other roads in Brooklyn. Plenty of new high-rise residential buildings have been built along it. It holds three subway lines, which make it an ideal street to concentrate the expanding population of Brooklyn. Which means, yes, it should be beautiful and pedestrian friendly.
