Survey says: Subways, schools and quality of life among top concerns of 43rd district
Councilmember Justin Brannan on Tuesday, January 30 released the results of a 2017 survey in which constituents of the 43rd City Council district – which encompasses Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Bath Beach and Bensonhurst – voiced what they believe the top priorities of the City Council should be.
Over 500 residents responded to the open-ended survey, the point of which, Brannan said, is to bring more people into the process.
“There’s a feeling sometimes that government does not listen to the people. I want to make sure that is not the case here in our neighborhoods,” he said. “We need to bring more people to the table and I believe that means we need a bigger table in this diverse district.”
