Bay Ridge’s 4th Ave wish list
Bay Ridge residents got the chance to help the city come up with a new look for Fourth Avenue when the Department of Transportation held a workshop on Borough President Marty Markowitz’s project to turn the thoroughfare into a grand boulevard.
Transportation engineers presented ideas on how to both beautify Fourth Avenue and make the street safer for pedestrians.
The workshop, which took place at P.S. 264, at 371 89th St. on Jan. 24, drew dozens of local residents and Community Board 10 members, despite the freezing temperatures brought on the cold spell hitting New York City last week. Participants were asked to consider ways to change the section of Fourth Avenue between 65th Street and Shore Road.
