From The South of Prospect Neighborhood Plan team at NYC Planning:
Since we kicked off the South of Prospect Neighborhood Plan, we've been busy engaging with community members and groups. Our multi-lingual Community Priorities survey, which will remain open until October 1, has collected invaluable local input from more than 1,800 people.At the end of July, NYC Planning staff joined community gatherings at Celebrate Kensington! and at the Flatbush Development Corporation's Open Streets finale. And in the beginning of August, we held a preliminary meeting and a walking tour with representatives from Community Boards 12 and 14.As the summer winds down, we are looking forward to a busy schedule this fall with more public events and ways to engage on the Plan!First Public Workshop: Insights & VisioningWe are thrilled to announce the dates for our first public workshop:
- In-person workshop: Tuesday, September 15, 6:30 pm, at P.S. 889 on Hinckley Place at Coney Island Avenue
- Virtual workshop: Wednesday, September 23, 6:30 pm, held virtually on Zoom
Each event will include opening remarks from Council Members Shahana Hanif and Rita Joseph; several stations with information about planning in NYC and the study area; preliminary findings from our survey; and activities where community members will be able to share their current perceptions — and a future vision — of the neighborhood.
More details can be found on the flyers above. We encourage you to RSVP and indicate if you'd like an interpreter in your language to be present. As always, we also encourage you to share the invitation and information with your neighbors and local networks, so we can reach as many community members as possible.We hope you enjoy these final days of August, and see you in September!
