Join us for our ride on Sunday, November 22. We’re meeting at Flushing and Classon (map) at 11:00 am. Message Larry Gast if you’re coming.

We’ll ride up Kent Avenue, observin­g the updates to the bike lane and road, discussing what the updates mean for pedestrians, cyclists, businesses and cars, and what else we can expect on this crucial corridor. On a related note, Marin Tockman’s band, Crucial Corridor, will meet us underneath the Williamsburg Bridge for a quick concert (subject to cancellation).
We’ll continue heading north to Pulaski Bridge, where representatives of the Pulaski Bridge Coalition will give an update on their current efforts to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists.

We should wrap up before 2pm.

Born in the Brooklyn Committee back in November of 2008, the project has blossomed into FixCity.org, a new community participation web tool made by TOPP Labs, currently in a beta test exclusively for Williamsburg and Greenpoint.
