Here’s an excerpt from this month’s Sixth Sense.

If March comes in like a lion, and goes out like a lamb, this year is no exception. And we’re not talking about to the weather. This month is front-loaded with many heavy duty meetings where important public policies will be the subject of hotly contested discussion and debate.

On March 3rd, the Metropolitan Transit Authority is holding a Public Hearing on proposed changes in levels of service, student fares, and crossing charges beginning 6:00pm at the Brooklyn Museum’s Cantor Auditorium, 200 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn.

.

Also on March 4th, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is hosting an informational meeting to discuss upcoming activities on the Gowanus Canal from 7:00pm-9:00pm at P.S. 58, 330 Smith Street, Brooklyn.
