City rejects Dyker Christmas Lights permit request
A move by Community Board 10 to take tighter control over the famous Dyker Heights Christmas Lights display was knocked down by the city, which flatly denied a request by the board for a permit.
Board 10 District Manager Josephine Beckmann told board members about the permit denial at the board’s monthly meeting on Oct. 16.
The board hoped a permit would bring a sense of order to the often haphazard traffic tie-up that take place every December when thousands of tourists descend on Dyker Heights to view the dazzling Christmas decorations put up by homeowners in the neighborhood.
