I live in this neighborhood (on Clinton Avenue) and suppport this DOT proposal. I have volunteered to make safer streets for everyone and was one of a small group of Ft Greene/Clinton Hill residents who recently gathered the signatures 1,600 of our neighbors in support of the improvements to Lafayette Avenue.
How does this organization presume to speak for this entire diverse neighborhood when it publishes postings that declare “We are all concerned about the changes that are occuring around the neighborhood with bike lanes that are being installed?
Hi Jeffrey; Thank you for your comment. First of all The Society for Clinton Hill was not “presuming” to speak for the neighborhood by posting this. We are simply advising the neighborhood of the Ambassadors Meeting in case someone would be interested in attending. We have been contacted by neighbors who also live on Clinton Ave as well as Lafayette Ave that were concerned about the process and the fact that many neighbors were never advised of such. The Society for Clinton Hill is merely notifying and can be concerned about anything that goes on in the neighborhood as the membership is comprised of our neighbors. We hope you will come to next meeting and if you are not a member hope that you join. Thank you so much.
Thank you for your response Suzanne. If you are simply advising and merely notifying then I urge you to change the language from one of “concern” to one of open interest in the proposal.
CB2 advised that the Transportation Committee will be meeting on May 17 (at Brown Memorial Church) and accept public comments as well as vote on making a motion to the full board on June 8.
This obviously is in conflict with the next general meeting.
Thank you Laila and yes you are correct. We may be re scheduling the General Meeting of SCH because of the conflict.
