Board 7 where the project
was proposed, fi elded
a number of complaints
about the proposal, with
many Bay Ridgites raising
worries about heightened
truck traffi c on their
residential roads funneling
from Sunset Park.
“We certainly did express
concerns back in
2019 about pushing local
truck traffi c onto local
streets,” Beckmann said,
“which is a big change.”
While the details are
yet to be hashed out, local
City Councilmember Justin
Brannan blasted the
plan, saying it was “dead
on arrival.”
“As far as we’re concerned,
this proposal is
dead on arrival,” said
Brannan. “We are not going
to let City Hall put a
truck route on Third Avenue
in Bay Ridge. I don’t
wanna hear it.”
A representative from
the mayor’s offi ce said as
the plan is not concrete,
they look forward to
hearing from the community
to make the proposal
work best for Bay Ridge.
“The proposal is undergoing
rulemaking
now, which involves a
notice and public comment
period,” said Mitch
Schwartz. “So nothing’s
fi nal yet. Looking forward
to hearing community
feedback and fi nalizing
a plan that works
for everyone.”
