Testimony to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority Regarding the Proposed Elimination of the B23 Bus Route on Cortelyou Road
Friday, January 30th, 2009Brooklyn Community Board 14 firmly opposes the elimination of the B23 bus route. Within the boundaries of Community District 14, the B23 runs on Cortelyou Road between Flatbush Avenue and Coney Island Avenue. We believe that elimination of this service would be detrimental to the economic progress of our community and would cause a great burden to parents and children commuting to work and school, as well as to those who use it to get to a variety of cultural institutions and other services.

Christmas Tree Recycling Program
Friday, January 2nd, 2009Community Board 14 has learned that the NYC Department of Sanitation will be conducting special collections for mulching and recycling of Christmas trees.
Trees can be put out starting on the evening of Sunday, January 4, 2009. Collections will take place beginning on Monday, January 5 through Saturday, January 17. Beginning on Saturday, January 17, Christmas trees will be collected with regular garbage.
Residents are encouraged to put out their trees as early as possible during the collection period.
DSNY asks residents to remove all tree stands, tinsel, lights, and ornaments from trees before placing them out for collection. DO NOT place trees in plastic bags. Trees will be chipped into compost, which will be distributed to parks, playing fields, and community gardens throughout the city.
New Yorkers can also participate in NYC Parks & Recreation Mulchfest by bringing their holiday trees to designated sites across the five boroughs to be chipped into mulch by the Parks Department. The mulch is used to nourish plantings across the City. Before dropping off your tree, remove all lights and ornaments. Free mulch will be available at Mulchfest locations—bring a bag if you would like to leave with a bag of mulch.
