Brownsville board: Home runs threaten motorists
Brownsville Recreation Center may be beloved by people who visit its premises—but not so much by the cars that drive on Linden Boulevard, the major street that hems it in.
According to Community Board 16′s Statement of Needs for this year, the nighttime lights that have recently been installed at the center have led to a greater need for higher fences encircling the fields’ perimeter.
Viola Greene-Walker, the Brownsville-Ocean Hill community board’s district manager, says lights were installed last year for visitors to play softball outside at night, part of a series of renovations that have taken place at the center over the years.
