A PLAZA FOR KENSINGTON

Discussion of "Kensington Plaza"
at Church Avenue and Beverley Road
Monday, February 27th, 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. 

Kensington lacks open spaces and an outdoor area for people to gather, sit, talk, or read a newspaper. But not for much longer! Join in a discussion about the new "Kensington Plaza," proposed by Kensington residents, to be located on the extended sidewalk at the intersection of Church Avenue and Beverley Road.

Hear about the plan that our New York City Councilmember Brad Lander and city agencies have developed to add a few trees, benches, stones, and other street furniture, and then discuss it with Councilmember Lander, neighborhood organizations, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Sanitation, and the 66th Precinct.

The meeting will include
  • a presentation on the proposed design by the Department of Transportation,
  • a discussion of safety and sanitation issues with the precinct and the Department of Sanitation,
  • feedback from the community, and
  • meeting the coordinators and signing up as a volunteer to help keep our plaza clean.
Meet in the P.S. 230 auditorium at 1 Albemarle Road, between McDonald Avenue and Dahill Road.
