BAYFEST 2019 PROGRAM
District Attorney’s Office to open up branch offices (the
first being in Sheepshead Bay). With the help of the NYC
Department of Probation’s Community Service Division and
others, B.I.G. has painted over graffiti on more than 5,000
storefronts; removed graffiti over seventeen times from over
600 mailboxes (some with help from Gerritsen Beach Cares
and the Coney Island-Gravesend Graffiti Task Force); painted
over 500 fire hydrants; and given a fresh coat to the underpasses
of the Belt Parkway and the subway line from Sheepshead
Bay to Gravesend.
B.I.G. has long advocated for our main streets and now
after Sandy we support our local businesses more than ever.
We support the reemergence of the Sheepshead Bay Chamber
of Commerce (including its holiday light display, missed by
many along Sheepshead Bay Road); long time advocate for
increased litter baskets and pickups and green solar B.I.G.
Belly litter baskets; push for expanded parking; increased traffic
enforcement on our main streets, support other celebrations
in the community; and endorse new, exciting business development
and a new park at Emmons Avenue and Brigham Street.
Sometimes while well intended, vision zero can have zero
vision like when the MTA and DOT moved the B36 bus from
Sheepshead Bay Road it’s logical connecting transfer stop only
steps away from the Sheepshead Bay subway entrance. This is
dangerous and a hardship for too many. The bus stop must be
returned to the prior safer location; it is basic common sense
and supported by the Community Board, community organizations
and our local businesses. Lastly, for traffic safety,
reopen East 15 th Street to vehicles to alleviate the stress and
resulting traffic congestion on surrounding streets. Support
our main streets. Let’s fix this! Together we can!
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
JOIN US!
We can continue this important work if people like you get
involved. With over 200,000 people in the Sheepshead Bay
area and more moving in all the time, if just a few dozen more
took an interest in the community, the city and every individual
would benefit. Only a few hours a month will make you
feel good, improve the quality of life in your community, and
increase the value of your investment here. Meet some great
people and have fun at the same time. Ask yourself: What
have I done for my community lately? Can I afford to donate
as little as 50 cents a week or a few hours a month to help it?
Of course you can. Step up, get involved! VOLUNTEER!
Start by simply attending a meeting or paying membership
dues (still only $25 a year) to keep the B.I.G. family growing.
