The Spring 2011 issue of Civic News is out, focusing on how we view our community and our livable streets.
Building Our Livable Streets
What is the essence of Park Slope? The answer might be found on our very livable streets.
What Makes Park Slope a Community?
In the space of one week in March, I had two very different experiences of community, right here in Park Slope.
A Journey Around and For Park Slope
Imagine a tour of Park Slope that’s fun, inspirational, and educational — and that benefits organizations throughout our community. Well, you don’t have to imagine, because it’s coming up soon: the Civic Council’s annual House Tour.
A Safer, Grander Plaza
Coming this summer to Grand Army Plaza: safer driving, easier pedestrian crossings, and more cycling connections, thanks to improvements from the city’s Department of Transportation.
Official Business: Bylaw Changes, Trustee Nominations
The Civic Council has proposed a series of additions to our bylaws, and has nominated several new trustees and a new treasurer for the upcoming year.
Civic Council Endorses Bill for Café Quiet
Many new restaurants and bars opening in and around Park Slope are bringing with them a popular dining trend: eating and drinking in their backyards, often late into the night. What can neighboring residents do about the noise that arises from those festive spaces?
A Day at the Sweeps
Our thanks to the more than 100 hard-working volunteers who gave their time to spruce up our community at this year’s Spring Civic Sweep. Adults and children from Park Slope and beyond joined together on Sunday, April 10, 2011, to plant, clean, and learn what makes our neighborhood special.
