Trash talk at Dyker Heights Christmas lights display
Brannan bill would ban vendors from holiday extravaganza
DYKER HEIGHTS — The glorious Dyker Heights Christmas lights display is expected to draw more than 150,000 visitors this year but the tourists won’t be tossing as much litter on the sidewalks as they have in the past if a local lawmaker gets his way.
Councilmember Justin Brannan, a Democrat who represents Dyker Heights, Bay Ridge and parts of Bensonhurst, introduced a bill at the Council’s meeting on Wednesday, August 14 to ban vendors from a section of Dyker Heights during the weeks the Christmas lights show takes place.
