Community Board 10 to hold Dyker meeting on Christmas lights
More city resources needed to handle traffic, officials say
Community Board 10 officials, eager to avoid a repeat of the traffic jams that clogged the streets of sleepy Dyker Heights during the Christmas season last year, will hold a meeting with the Dyker Heights Civic Association and local residents next month to discuss ways to mitigate traffic bottlenecks this year.
Josephine Beckmann, district manager of Community Board 10, said the meeting will take place on Thursday, Nov. 9, at Saint Phillips Episcopal Church Hall, 1072 80th St., at 7 p.m.
“The bottom line is that we need more resources in the community to handle all of the traffic coming through. It gets so bad sometimes that residents can’t get out of their own driveways,” Beckmann told the Brooklyn Eagle on Tuesday.
