Closing Bell: DOT Reveals 4th Avenue Safety Ideas

Tonight the Department of Transportation will present new safety design concepts for 4th Avenue between Pacific Street and 15th Street in Park Slope. They’re also asking that attendees submit comments on the proposals. This open house piggybacks off a public workshop in February at which the community created a “wish list” for implementing safety measures along 4th Avenue. The DOT has focused on reducing speed along the avenue, creating safer pedestrian crossings, simplifying turns, and generally improving safety for all street users. The meeting is tonight from 6:30 to 8:30 pm at St. Thomas Aquinas Church at 249 9th Street.
