The year 2007 may prove to be one of the most important years in the storied history of New York City's development. In a future timeline of urban advances, it might be printed in as big a font and as bold a type as 1811--when the grid system was adopted--or 1904--when the I.R.T. subway opened. The text adjacent to 2007 could say something like "the start of livable streets," or "the bike boom begins," or "congestion pricing kicks off." It may turn out that all of those descriptions may suit 2007. The real question is, in hindsight, will they?

At a town hall meeting, sponsored by Councilmember Letitia James, constituents heard updates on street improvements in the area from New York City Department of Transportation representatives, but more importantly, finally were able to have some of their questions answered.

Downtown Brooklyn is the focus of a blueprint study that hopes to address transportation for the next 20 years, but many residents complained that the area already has many problems that need to be fixed.

The transit system, streets, highways, sidewalks, bike paths and more from the waterfront to Union Street and Washington Avenue will be scrutinized by the Department of Transportation (DOT) and other city and state agencies in the blueprint study.

It was called Public Meeting # 1, as if there had never been another one, but it was indeed the first public meeting on the plan to conduct a comprehensive traffic study for downtown Brooklyn, which is called a "transportation blueprint."

To be conducted by the city's Department of Transportation and its consultants, the study results from the new downtown Brooklyn rezoning effort, which made it obvious that stated development plans could produce major traffic problems.
