Member Meeting on Monday, May 14 — Discussion to Expand Neighborhood Representation

DSBA-map-updated
LETS JOIN TOGETHER TO CREATE A BETTER, STRONGER NEIGHBORHOOD VOICE
What do you think about a single neighborhood organization to represent northern Prospect Heights?

Dean Street Block Association would like to create a single neighborhood association that includes St. Marks, Carlton, and 6th Avenues, as well as Bergen, Dean and Pacific Streets. This is a special area with shared issues. We have a history of working together successfully.

In a neighborhood, legitimate representation requires genuine consultation and participation. We believe local civic organizations should be guided by their members, act transparently, and communicate openly and honestly. Please join us to discuss this idea as a way to more strongly advocate for our community and its shared issues and concerns.

Meeting Details
Date: Monday, May 14th
Time: 7pm
Location: Community Room at 506 Bergen St, Latin Evangelical Free Church

Please sign our online petition if you would like to expand the Dean Street Block Association but cannot attend the meeting on Monday, May 14th.

Meet Comptroller Scott M. Stringer on April 16th

Meeting Details

When: Monday, April 16th
Time: 7:30-8:30pm
Where: Industrious, 594 Dean Street between Carlton and Vanderbilt, 2nd Floor

Few NYC neighborhoods are as affected by development as our own. Vertical construction at Atlantic Yards / Pacific Park has been stalled for a year and a half, and future ownership is uncertain.

Raise your questions and concerns with the city’s Comptroller Scott M. Stringer, one of only three directly elected citywide officials in New York City. Among the Comptroller’s roles is reviewing city contracts for integrity, accountability and fiscal compliance. In February, Comptroller Stringer issued an audit of HPD calling for it to develop its vacant city owned properties into affordable housing.

FAQ:

  • What are the potential options forward for Pacific Park project and two HPD lots also now being considered for affordable housing projects?

  • What should our goals be?

MORE DEVELOPMENTS ARE COMING RIGHT NEXT DOOR! Meeting on 3/15

devlots2-bwThe former HPD sites on Bergen and Dean are slated to be developed as affordable housing by the city. Join your neighbors to discuss building size, local infrastructure, open space and housing related issues.

FAQ:

  • Do the developments have to conform to the same size as
    neighboring buildings? Not necessarily.
  • Can the size be reduced to expand our playground? Maybe.
  • How many affordable housing units? Unknown.
  • How deep will the degrees of affordability be? Likely greater than on
    sites owned by private parties.
  • Do we have the infrastructure to support additional new development?
  • What’s your opinion?

MEETING:

When: Thursday, March 15th
Time: 7pm
Where: 535 Dean Street (between 6th Ave and Carlton Ave)
on the main floor, community room
