The Prospect Heights Neighborhood Development Council


To accommodate upgrades to the MTA vent structures along Flatbush Avenue, a part of the Atlantic Yards project, beginning on Sunday, August 1, 2010, Forest City Ratner today announced that the traffic pattern on Flatbush Avenue (between Atlantic Avenue and Dean Street) will be altered.
In response to community requests to control speeding on Flatbush Avenue during off-peak hours, the NYC Department of Transportation recently implemented a “dual progression” pattern in which green lights are staggered, requiring additional stoppages for both directions of travel on Flatbush Avenue between Concord Street and Plaza Street.
Agenda:
Please note that the order of the meeting is subject to change as are any of the agenda items.
Councilmember Letitia James will host a town hall meeting with representatives from local civic and community-based organizations.

Although it may not come as a surprise to its residents, Prospect Heights was named by New York magazine among the top ten in its survey of most livable neighborhoods in New York City. The survey profiles fifty neighborhoods in terms of housing cost, transit, shopping, safety, restaurants, schools and diversity, among other factors. The survey found Prospect Heights particularly strong in nightlife (10th) and restaurants (17th), and fifth with respect to diversity of its residents, something most all of us would agree makes ours a great neighborhood and a great community.
