The Fort Greene Association is promoting the Make Lafayette Avenue Safer campaign in order to convince Community Board 2 to install traffic calming and bike lanes along Lafayette Avenue. The goals are to combat speeding, increase pedestrian safety and add an on-street bike lane. Other suggestions include a traffic light or stop sign at Willoughby and Washington Park, stopping the double parking at Lafayette and Fulton and shortening several of the crossing distances across the avenue. Go here to help out the campaign or sign the petition. The proposal will also be discussed at Community Board 2’s Transportation Committee meeting in January or February.
