Precinct council meeting draws big crowd
The 68th Precinct Community Council has resumed in-person monthly meetings, but not at its traditional meeting site.
Since the stationhouse opened on 65th Street – with the rare exception of a joint annual meeting with the Dyker Heights Civic Association – the monthly proceedings took place on the main floor. This venue provided an unobstructed view of the guest speakers and police officials. Instead, the meetings have been moved across the street to a small community room in the Bay Ridge Towers, where some sight lines are blocked by pillars.
This month’s meeting drew one of the largest crowds in many years, due to the perceptions and realities of recent crime rates.
