Participatory Budgeting Delegate Meetings Underway

The Delegate Orientation for District 39's Participatory Budgeting took place last week at PS 230, and neighbor Maggie Tobin wrote about the experience for Councilmember Brad Lander's blog. Delegates broke out into eight groups, and as part of the Streets and Sidewalks committee, Maggie shares some of her ideas for how our area could benefit from a portion of the $1 million in funds:

I would love to see a few small plazas (rather grandiose word for a smattering of benches) in the vicinity of Church Avenue. Two places in particular would be in front of Walgreens, the other would be an addition to our little green triangle at 35th and Church. Our main shopping area is in need of a complete makeover but any little help could get the ball rolling in the right direction.
