Most notably, "NYC DOT and MTA will deliver new rapid bus service along the full length of the Flatbush Avenue corridor by 2030." We're pleased to see them recognize that riders all along Flatbush Ave, especially where subway stations are rarer, need fast and reliable buses!

The bus action plan announced this week by @nyc-dot.bsky.social @mayor.nyc.gov and @mta.info is full of good news for riders in our area! We're very excited to see a specific focus on Central Brooklyn in the report. Let's go through it! 🧵 www.nyc.gov/html/dot/dow...

There's lots of good stuff in thr bus plan releaed today by @nyc-dot.bsky.social and @mta.info, but one particularly exciting announcement: a commitment to extend rapid bus service down Flatbush Ave into the neighborhood of Flatbush and beyond, by 2030! www.nyc.gov/html/dot/dow...

It's been a bit but our regularly-scheduled monthly organizing meeting is happening TONIGHT at 7 PM (in under half an hour). Same Zoom link as usual, email us if you need it!

We won't be having our regular organizing meeting this evening because there are TWO exciting events tonight promoting safer and more effective streets in our neighborhood. Go to one of them instead! Links and RSVP in thread.

We are excited to hear that @mayor.nyc.gov is prioritizing the long-delayed bike lane network in Flatbush, East Flatbush, and Midwood. We have been advocating for this network for years, both to protect cyclists and to improve safety for all road users in our neighborhoods.

TONIGHT! Instead of our regular monthly organizing meeting, we're joining our friends at Open Plans and New Yorkers for Parks for a social hour at Bad Therapy Bar (Cortelyou and CIA) to chat all things community boards. See you there, 6-8 PM!

Quick reminder - no monthly meeting this month. See you in the new year!

We're really disappointed to hear that the bike lane network in Community District 14, including protected bike lanes on Cortelyou and Dorchester Roads, will not be installed this year as DOT originally presented. We're hearing they're targeting installation for next year.

Protected bike lanes are proven solutions that make streets safer for everyone: pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers.

Come out tomorrow to support safer streets streets at tomorrow's CB9 meeting:

No organizing meeting this month. Tomorrow is Election Day—polls are open from 6 AM to 9 PM! Also, register to attend Brooklyn CB 14's Transportation Committee meeting this Thursday, including an update from @nyctransit.bsky.social on the Interborough Express: cb14brooklyn.com/meeting/tran...

On the agenda for this Wednesday evening's meeting of Brooklyn Community Board 7 is a proposal for a two-way protected bike lane on McDonald Ave between 10th Av/20th St and Fort Hamilton Pkwy. Speak up for this important connection at public comment: www.nyc.gov/site/brookly...

TONIGHT at 6:30: Show your support to complete the protected two-way bicycle lane on the perimeter of Prospect Park. Register to attend this committee meeting of Brooklyn CB14 online, which will discuss the Ocean Avenue segment: cb14brooklyn.com/meeting/comm...

We're disappointed to see this very small school safety project get scaled back even more. Brooklyn and Kingston Avenues have plenty of space to ensure people are safe no matter what mode of transportation they choose. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/09/08/d...

We're saddened to hear a 70-year-old man was hit and killed by a car while crossing the street in Midwood. Our streets need to be designed to prioritize pedestrian safety - no one should die just trying to walk around our neighborhoods. brooklyn.news12.com/police-70-ye...
