In my role as a public servant, I have been granted so many wonderful opportunities to help improve our borough, while also examining new ways to strengthen the bond between the city and the people we serve.<br /><br />This marks the second year our district has taken part in Participatory Budgeting, and I am pleased to say that we have already brought about significant improvements to our neighborhoods. Last year, I was able to allocate over $1 million in funding for capital projects. These included computer lab and gymnasium upgrades, the Kensington Dog Run, and new community barbecue sites at Prospect Park.<br /><br />The process of Participatory Budgeting is a vital aspect of our democracy, and it empowers residents to be proactive in promoting the growth of the community. As a member of the City Council, I do everything in my power to support the ever changing demographics of Brooklyn, and Participatory Budgeting is a crucial part of those efforts.<br /><br />This year, residents of the 40th district will choose up to 5 of the following capital projects during Vote Week, which runs March 25 through April 2nd:<br />Safe Pedestrian Path Through West Parade Ground<br />New Play Yard for Ditmas Park<br />AC for High Need Schools<br />Upgrade Audio/Visual System for PS 92<br />Trees for Rogers Avenue<br />Technology Upgrades for PS 217<br />Sidewalk Extension at Prospect Park Station<br />Safety Improvement at Rogers & Rutland<br />Safety Improvements at Flatbush & Rutland <br /><br />Voting will take place at the following locations: <br /><br /><br /><br />If you're interested in learning more about Participatory Budgeting volunteer opportunities, go to council.nyc.gov/pb or email pbnyc@council.nyc.gov.
