Hello!
Thank you for participating in our survey about the Taxi of Tomorrow. We received over 22,000 responses, and they have been very helpful as we consider the proposals for New York’s next taxicab.
Our partner, the Design Trust for Public Space, offered a year of free taxi trips to one randomly selected survey respondent. Last month, the award was given to Adbul Mohammed, a Bronx resident.
We are very much interested in continued feedback from the riding public about policy matters. In addition to the Taxi of Tomorrow project, we are working on the next generation of “Taxi TV,†and we are developing rules for “borough taxis†that would serve Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island, where yellow taxi service is virtually absent. To stay up-to-date on these and other initiatives and learn more about feedback opportunities, please visit the registration page to sign up for our mailing list. Your opinion matters to us!
Well what I have noticed that DOES stick around in Park slope are cafes….. cafes where peeps can get a good cup of coffee/baked good or savory food item and be allowed to sit around on their laptops for hours do well. Also cafes that are big enough for the mom brigade to come in early in the mornings with strollers and sit and chat with their mommy groups….
what I notice doesn’t do very well are weird clothing shops or Tchotke shops filled with crap you reallly don’t need in your house.
Re P/S vs Fort Greene, there is such an incredible density of services in Park Slope. But in Fort Greene/Clinton Hill, though it is improving, the retail still sucks. Particularly on the eastern part of Fort Greene on Fulton where it borders Clinton Hill. One by one, we are getting some decent places, but STILL no close by greengrocer, few restaurants, 18 months ago we got a decent drycleaner on Fulton near Clinton…..that’s the way it is. In Park Slope there is 3 of everything….

DIBS, if I worked out, I risk having guns & buns and that would put me into another risk category
hahaha,
though if dibs can manage 3 bfs, must be somthing about the fruit of his loins that can sustain all of them!
Agree with M4L that oversupply is likely the main problem in the Slope.
Speaking of retail, I really do think the declaring of an interior landmark should be treated as a taking by eminent domain
M4l- maybe you should do a stint with Justin Bieber – he seems to have a lot of overflow at the moment 🙂
Arkady, I still say prime suspect is over supply in the Slope. the high rent isnt helping but do think that’s secondary.
