• Jeff Apruzzese (ex Kissena) crashed into a pedestrian this weekend going down Vanderbuilt hill. Jeff was badly injured (see the injury thread) as was the pedestrian. No word yet on the consequences.
• If you have to dial 911 in the park remember that emergency services know ONLY the entrances - so you either have to give them a street entrance or wait an ungodly time for them to find you
• The parking lot by the old finish line is closed until October - daily numbers for cars there this winter were about 1/5th of total capacity.
• Expect more bike police - the 78th has a strong preference for them as they are (no surprise) faster to get from A to B, quieter (they catch more bad guys) and healthier
• Expect a new farmer's market at the Ocean Ave & Parkside entrance - this should not be anywhere near the roadway
• New BBQ area expected on the east side - details to come
• May 10th is a duathlon so heads up if you are training there

The Prospect Park Alliance is conducting a survey and this would be a great way to suggest that they repave the roads and/or whatever you think.

The survey should only take you about two minutes to complete, but it isn’t going to be up for much longer. It closes on July 14.

All the potholes are gone...they've been filled with my hopes, dreams and latex tubulars.

You forgot tears.

FYI if you ever thought runner/cyclist tension was the hight of animosity in the park - you ain't seen anything compared to the Birders vs Drone operators.

Dear Community Committee members,

This email is to notify you that today, Thursday, December 3, and the two following Thursday’s (12/10 + 12/17), the FDNY will be conducting drills and training on-site at the LeFrak Center in Prospect Park. The training is expected to begin at 7pm, last about an hour, and will take place within the mechanical areas of the building. Some 36 uniformed firefighters in 6 trucks will be arriving and then departing the site and we therefore wanted you to know that what is happening is planned training, not an emergency.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Best,

James

the post suggest that the reader grabs and sends a similar version.

my comment stands, the "do it for the bicycles" tone could have easily been improved.
