Sustainable Flatbush

sustainable, environmentally-friendly transportation

Our Traffic Calming Block Party on Sunday was a big success and lots of fun! Thanks to the efforts of the many people who worked on the event, as well as an enthusiastic bunch of local residents

This Sunday, July 18th 2010, we’re partnering with Vox Pop Cafe and Ditmas Park Blog to celebrate public space for people and make the corner of Cortelyou and Stratford safer!

This coming Monday night, June 28th, presents a great opportunity for local Livable Streets advocates to have some input on what the future design of Flatbush Avenue will look like!

Do you depend on the B44 Nostrand Avenue bus to get around Brooklyn? Do you wish you could? Come to the Department of Transportation’s Community Advisory Committee meeting on Tuesday December 8th!

If you get around Brooklyn by bus (or would like to), your presence is requested at the Brooklyn College Student Center tomorrow (Wednesday, June 10th) at 6:30pm.

Flatbush resident Deb Kapell invites YOU to join her Bike to Work ride this Wednesday!

Sustainable Flatbush invites you to celebrate BikeBKLN by visualizing a future of Livable Streets!

On Monday, September 15th, the Prospect Park Youth Advocates invite you & your familes and friends to a youth-friendly rally in support of a car-free Prospect Park.

Okay, now I can speak from first-hand experience: Summer Streets, New York City’s experiment with creating a car-free haven for pedestrians and cyclists, is truly fantastic!
