New Exposures: Downtown Brooklyn Bike Ride
From laughingsquid.com:
The current narrative for downtown Brooklyn is relentlessly upbeat:
Brooklyn is booming in an unparalleled renaissance. Is there another
side of the story? This ride will explore some of these mega-projects
and probe their less-heralded impacts: privatized open space, de-
mapped public streets, gentrification, business improvement
districts, surveillance cameras, eminent domain, astroturf lobbying,
private security forces, the war on vendors. Is Brooklyn becoming a
privatized zone for high-income consumption? And where do YOU fit in?
This new ride will cruise some spots in Brooklyn like the Brooklyn
Bridge Park, Metrotech, Downtown Brooklyn Rezoning, BAM Cultural
District, Atlantic Malls, & Atlantic Yards. Ride ends at the Develop
Dont Destroy Brooklyn Walkathon.
Rain at 11am cancels.
Meet at Fulton Ferry Landing
Pier under the Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn
Noon; $free
