Neighborhood Slow Zone Community Informational Meeting

Neighborhood Slow Zones are a community-based program that reduces the speed limit from 30 mph to 20 mph and adds safety measures within a select area.  Signs and gateways announce the presence of a Slow Zone.  The Zone itself is a self-enforcing, reduced-speed area with traffic-calming treatments that may include speed bumps, curb extensions and special markings.  Is Park Slope the right place for a Neighborhood Slow Zone?  

Come learn more and share your own opinions at a community meeting hosted by the Park Slope Civic Council, co-sponsored by Councilmember Letitia James, Councilmember Brad Lander, Councilmember Stephen Levin, P.S. 10, Prospect Heights Neighborhood Development Council, Park Slope Parents, Parents Association of Millennium Brooklyn High School, and Park Slope Neighbors.  The meeting will be moderated by Daniel Murphy, director of the Pitkin Avenue BID and a member of Community Board 7, and will include speakers and an opportunity for the audience to ask questions.
