Just my 2cents on: The (new) Nostrand Ave thorofare

Interesting arguments for sure. Thank you both for your insight-fullness! I would also like to add.... Why hadn't our CB, & our community's elected officials not urged a thorough and proper study on how these changes would impact our community? ......& that, to be followed by a vote of some kind by those CONCERNED. W0w. Otherwise, this feels like the city's simply going about its business... shoving the all-ready-made decision down our throats. Sounds like everything else done in similar fashion, all done for the good; & cloaked in politician's'rhetoric... the so-called "public interest" ie: stop & frisk, limits on 'over-sized' beverages, and now more recently; the idea to ban tanning salons, etc And, don't forget about BedStuy's more-than-UNfair share of those humongous homeless shelters that're in place in our neck 'o the woods. How about that? --> What's our recourse given all of this?
