Introducing PLG Public Works

A few weeks ago, we told you about a public meeting we organized to discuss ways to improve PLG streets and make them safer and quieter. Thanks to Will Sherman at Transportation Alternatives, we've come up with a working paper that describes some of the improvements we'd like to see, including some handy maps and illustrations. We're calling ourselves PLG Public Works (at least for the time being) and are eagerly seeking other locals to help with the cause.

This paper is only the first draft, but I thought I'd post it here for all PLG'ers for comment: Traffic-Calming-Draft1.pdf

If you have any suggestions, either comment here or email me at brooklynite282 at gmail. Once we've got a final document, we plan on circulating a petition among local residents, soliciting endorsements, and submitting the proposal to various local officials and media.

Please correct the draft throughout to MAPLE STREET.

Looks like my block (Lefferts between Rogers and Nostrand) is getting a speed bump -- at 8:30 this morning a worker from the DOT was out in front of my hous jackhammering a hole, and put in a brand new "BUMP" sign. It will be great to slow down or even stop all the trucks using the street as a shortcut to ENY Ave.
