Do they intentionally do this whenever all our guests are in?? Sukkos, Gimel Tammuz, and theres been other times as well!

Chutzpah!

Where is our community council??? How dare they paving the hub of CH at this time of year when there are so many guests from out of town. It is not even safe. And what a nuisance!
What a Chutzpah to ruin our Yom Tov.
We are an integral part of this neighborhood and there is absolutely no respect. Again, where are our community politicians. I see their faces everywhere except when it comes to protecting OUR community and neighborhood and for speaking up for what’s right.
Shameful.

Questions are for Brooklyn Community Board 9

Brooklyn Community Board 9, which represents the Crown Heights neighborhood (11213, 11225 & 11203), gets EVERY week a full list from DOT and all city agencies of the upcoming weeks construction.

Brooklyn Community Board 9 has the choice of informing the community or not informing the community.

Brooklyn Community Board 9 also has the choice to recommend that certain city street work be postponed till a later date, or not..

Are there any Lubavitchers on Brooklyn Community Board 9 ?

Isn’t there a community council to make sure these kind of things don’t happen in the midst of busy times?

Brooklyn road work Weekly Construction Bulletin for CH is overseen by community board 9.

Moving forward, hopefully the people in charge running community board 9 Brooklyn can notify COL and the CH community about planned road work.

Please name me

No need to expand on that. We all know.
