Call it good, clean fun.
A pack of kind-hearted Kings
Countians gathered in Gravesend
and Coney Island on May 11 to sweep
the streets and pick up litter at a pair
of spring clean-up events sponsored
by Councilman Mark Treyger (D-Coney
Island). The local pol tweeted his
thanks to the locals who came out
and represented various neighborhood
organizations for a good cause.
“This is what community is all
CROPSEY AVE.
halfway through the wide street.
The plan would also narrow traffi c
lanes on the avenue by widening the
mid-road divider — which currently
houses a narrow row of trees and traffi
c lights — by 10 feet. The expanded divider
would create a quasi-sidewalk in
the middle of the road, while reducing
the car roadway from 40 feet to 35 feet in
either direction, which the department
hopes will discourage speeding.
The department proposal also calls
for elimination of some parking spaces
to dedicate proper traffi c lanes for cars
attempting to turn onto Cropsey Avenue,
which they say would better organize
and facilitate traffi c movement.
Community Board 13 transportation
reps will vote on the plan at a June
12 subcommittee meeting, before the
full board decides whether to give their
blessing on June 26.
If approved, construction would begin
in early 2020.
