Road Repairs in Fort Hill
Traffic in Fort Greene: Major sections of both Vanderbilt (top) and Lafayette (bottom) Avenues have been under construction, causing back-ups on alternate and overlapping routes. Today the action expands further on Lafayette into Clinton Hill. Times like these a mountain bike comes in handy.

Vanderbilt Ave bike lanes are on the agenda for the CB2 Transportation Committee on Tuesday.
Colonel, Stonergut: those are the historical districts, not the neighborhood baoundaries, but nice try. Otherwise, what would you call the streets that are not in a historical/landmarked district? Nowhere? Neighborhood boundaries are not synonymous with historical zone boundaries; that makes no sense.
Just call it The FILL for short.
potholes..
It’s a hassle now, but it really needed it. Vanderbilt was a patchwork of potholls.
Good news, I hope DOT will extend the Vanderbilt Ave. bike lanes all the way to Flushing Ave….”Fort Greene-Clinton Hill” has always been a mouthful. “Greene Hill” gets my vote.
They made my landlord pay to get the road in front of our building redone.
Then, about a month later, they’ve torn it all up. He is a little bitter.
I second the bike-roughness part – got a flat on the mountainbike on that very stretch a few weeks back, and that’s not easy.
Happy to see the dot is hard at work making my occasional commute from kensington to clinton hill even better by bicycle (fixed the traffic circle at ocean parkway and added bike lanes, bike lanes around GAP, up vanderbilt, down willoughby – bingo). Thanks!
Not loving the bus coming down Clinton. Vandy needed fixing though. Very rough on the bike.
