A revitalized plaza for Parkside and Ocean Avenues
Sounds like it will be nice:
"In the winter and spring of 2014-2015, working with the New York City Department of Transportation, we will install planters and benches on the plaza (and, we hope, umbrellas and movable chairs we well). As soon as DOT installs the plaza, we will fill the planters with soil and with both evergreen plants and seasonal flowers. By May 2015, the plaza should be in full bloom. Starting in the summer of 2015, we will organize regular arts and cultural events, representing all the communities in our diverse neighborhood."

1. Looks nice.2. It would be nice to use the big plazas there and at Church Ave to put in a bunch of bike racks, in order to provide a quicker bike/train transportation option to Manhattan for residents of PLG and East Flatbush.
-
that's a great idea. does anyone know how to petition for bike racks..? i feel like sometimes the city just sorta installs a bunch in one fell swoop and i'm never really sure how they decided on a particular location. the Church ave stop entrance at Caton ave has a big open space that could, at the very least, be utilized for this purpose.
