Not everyone is merry about Dyker Heights Christmas lights
Behind the twinkling lights, there is tension.
Longtime residents of Dyker Heights have expressed concern over the size and scope of the Dyker Heights Christmas lights display and are questioning whether the city can adequately handle the crush of tourists who descend on the residential neighborhood every December.
No one is trying to spoil the holiday merriment, but residents said they are also growing weary of what they called a proliferation of food vendors setting up shop on streets, on sidewalks and in some cases, in homeowners’ driveways.
