By Daniel Bush, Brooklyn Paper, Tue, 2011-10-11
Old First Reformed Church in Park Slope filled its walls with more than 100 residents who were attending the neighborhood Participatory Budgeting Assembly. As you would expect, there were many project ideas that was suggested that would generate productivity and efficiency for the neighborhood. Some ideas residents proposed were to construct more public bike lanes, benches and to place more garbage cans on the streets. These project ideas are just the beginning for a better neighborhood.
