This Thursday evening, at the central branch of the Brooklyn
Public Library at Grand Army Plaza, advocates for a better urban
environment will gather for the unveiling of a new Livable Streets
exhibit.  The evening’s lineup will also include a presentation
by the Grand Army Plaza
Coalition (GAPCo) of a community-based plan for re-imagining –
and re-configuring – Grand Army Plaza, accompanied by a presentation
of the Department of Transportation’s plan for new pedestrian
crossings and a physically separated bike lane through the
Plaza.

The plans being developed by GAPCo could play a major role in
transforming Grand Army Plaza from a scary, traffic-filled maelstrom
into a great, accessible public space at the crossroads of Brooklyn.
Significant modifications to the Plaza could also provide a catalyst
to important changes in adjoining neighborhoods, including finding
ways to make Prospect Park West, 8th Avenue and Union Street safer and
more pleasant for all users.

So come on out, see the exhibit, hear about the plans, and enjoy
a free reception.  Please RSVP to streets@transalt.org if you
plan to attend.
