Between this posting and others this week, we truly hope this is not a premontion of what's to come very soon in Carroll Gardens. Link
Will the DOB helps us here we wonder? Will the POLS? WHO?? will help us? WHO?? represents the residents and the community as all the over-sized development slated for Carroll Gardens begins? Is there anybody really out there who cares?
The corner of Smith Street and Second Street has already become this month really really congested in the mornings ....with two schools (one brand new one and one old one) receiving families, school buses, cars, baby carriages, various drop offs, etc., while so many local residents commute to work by bus, by car, by subway all at the same moment!
What on earth will happen when and if the 360 Smith Street construction begins and the subway passengers are re-routed? Isn't it high time to convince the powers that be that this building project must be scaled immediately? A street traffic and pedestrian traffic study would seem to be the very tiniest thing a responsible community would care to ask for.
