There is now 52% more low altitude plane traffic over Park Slope, according to the FHA. The Brooklyn Paper reports that this traffic is the result of new airspace design patterns implemented in 2007 that bring planes headed for LaGuardia through a corridor from Bay Ridge, over Park Slope to the Long Island Expressway. Helicopters are also directed over Park Slope and Prospect Park, as per information gathered through the Freedom of Information Act by an irate Park Slope resident, who is also a pilot. The new traffic patterns are meant to alleviate congestion at LGA, and other local airports. For some residents, according to the article, the noise is unbearable. What say you Park Slopers?

  1. “Personally, I can’t wear J Crew – not enough room in the crotch for my junk… I go for the deals on Carharts down at Straight Stores on 5th Ave @ 8th Street.”

    Might wanna try a dress. They’re all the rage at fashion week this season.

  3. Just great, DH, pick on those of us who buy our clothes at J.Crew, but have no problem with planes flying overhead! What can I say? J.Crew does a 28″ inseam!!

  4. HAHAHAHA!!

    Jackal – actually offended you compared the way Park Slope men dress to Williamsburg 22 year olds. Last time I walked on 7th Ave it looked like a J Crew ad.

  5. Yes, I do live in Park Slope, but obviously when I say there are zero exceptions I mean zero exceptions except for me. Why do I even have to explain this to you people?
