    It’s not clear how this proposal differs from previous set ups or how this would change the process for applicants and citizens. Transparency, communication, and access to timely responses are most appreciated with any change and proposal.

    There needs to be additional rules around sound systems and garbage during Open Streets events. On W. 116th St. in Frederick Douglass Boulevard in Manhattan, the music coming from the speakers is deafening. There are people all over the streets, and you can barely walk through. Either allow people on the street or on the sidewalk but not both. Many places already have Open Restaurant sheds and Open Streets is just another way for them to take over all of the street. It’s terrible for those with a disability to pass through. Then don’t fine building owners for rat problems when the City has allowed garbage all over the streets.

    As a 60+ year member of the Prospect Heights community we have undergone gentrification to the point that only the considerations of the newer monied folks are taken seriously. The elderly, working class, and minority population have been discarded. Please take those whose backs this neighborhood has flourished under need access to adequate transportation and would like to see longtime community businesses stay alive. The redesigned Underhill/Vanderbilt project was done behind our backs. It’s a hazard to FDNY, SDNY, and school buses. Please don’t let the GAP project further isolate us.
