Community Board Meeting To Address Curb Cut Change

A proposed amendment to zoning rules would make it harder for property  owners to turn their stoops and front yards into parking spaces.

You need to look no farther than Parkside Avenue to see how curb cuts can make a nice block ugly: many front gardens there have been paved over to serve as driveways. The owners paint the curb in front yellow, removing space available for public parking -- sometimes legally, sometimes not.

Flatbush Life has more about the proposed changes here.

At the next Community Board 9 meeting, reps from the Department of City Planning will be discussing the zoning changes and answering questions about them. Come on down!

It's about time. Look at Winthrop between Bedford and Rogers avenues. It's a disgrace. They should make them re-do all of these driveways. There are very few trees on that street because of these monstrosities. They take away from the feel of the street.
