Second, the next public meeting will be this upcoming Tuesday, January 26, at 7 pm. (Info here.) On the agenda: reps from the Dept. of City Planning will discuss the Residential Streetscape Preservation Text Amendment, which will cut down on curb cuts.... wait, haven't we heard this before? Why, yes, it was an agenda item on the December Community Board meeting, which means something must have gone awry last month. We will not speculate as to what exactly happened. We are better than that. Suffice it to say that those of you that missed the meeting now have a second chance.
