The District 15 Community Education Council and Community Board 7 invite you
to a

Pedestrian Safety Forum
for the 3rd and 4th Avenue Corridor

From Atlantic Avenue to 65th Street, heavy and dangerous traffic is hurting
our quality of life and jeopardizing the safety of our children. Many
families share the same concerns about truck traffic, enforcement issues,
and the need for safer walking conditions. Please join us as we hear from
transportation experts on accident trends, pilot projects, and the best ways
to prevent crashes along 3rd and 4th Avenues.

This forum will be the first step in a community-led vision for safe,
walkable streets around our schools and other sensitive locations on 3rd and
4th Avenues. There is already a traffic-calming plan for Downtown Brooklyn.
It's time to make that vision a reality, and to extend the plan into Sunset
Park. We must let the city know that planning for our children's safety is
more important than planning for traffic. Your input and expertise is
greatly needed! There will be ample opportunity for questions and comments,
plus a huge map of the avenues, where you can note concerns about particular
intersections.
