District 39 residents on the Transit Committee, which is part of the Participatory Budgeting Initiative, have posted their top three choices for what City Councilmember Brad Lander should spend $1,000,000 of District 39's budget on.
The committee reports that "Fortunately, the project that was highest-ranked in importance at the community meetings--a remodeling of the often-flooded entrance ramp at Fort Hamilton Parkway Station--could come in under the $1 million mark if we use our capital funds judiciously."
"Second-choice was a little more evenly distributed among the remaining options; it ultimately came down to funding more and improved bus shelters. Third place went to reopening a long-shuttered exit at the Bergen St. station on the F line."
The first committee to post a report was the Streets & Sidewalks Committee, and the second was the Public Safety, Public Health, and Sanitation Committee.
