We are so excited to host our first Longest Table Brooklyn Heights next Saturday, May 17th along a beautiful block of Remsen Street.  We need volunteers to help make this event an incredible success!

Volunteers are needed to help set up the street, to greet guests and host tables, to sell our one-of-a-kind tote bags to benefit the BHA and to help clean up after the gathering ends. 

Please take a look at where we need help.  We hope to hold a quick orientation via zoom next Wednesday evening.

The BHA has been reporting derelict bikes (like this one on Hicks Street) to DSNY and working with the agency to get them removed from our streets.

DSNY has very specific criteria for when they are allowed to remove a bike, so unfortunately, there are still quite a number around which don't yet meet the criteria. However, please know we're trying to keep track of these eyesores and get them off the street. Please fee free to report any that you see to us - ideally with a photo and location - and we'll keep working on it!

The NYCxDESIGN Festival is an annual citywide celebration featuring hundreds of design events, from exhibits and trade shows to talks and tours. Attendees can visit participating businesses for workshops, meet designers, and hear from experts in the design field. This event is brought to our neighborhood thanks to our friends at the Atlantic Avenue BID. 

This year’s theme is “Design is for Everyone". See the map of participating shops.

Please join Riders Alliance, Open Plans, and members of the NYers for Transportation Equity Coalition on Friday, May 16 to support the “We Get Around New York” bill. 

This bill, sponsored by State Senator Andrew Gounardes would shift billions of dollars away from new highways to invest in walking, cycling, transit, and accessibility projects. (Hello BQE - are you listening???) 

This state bill would not only support NYC based initiatives but also Statewide projects that will continue to make our state more livable for everyone!
