I know one thing that is needed with those businesses, and that is their responsibility to the community to clean up the street and the appearance of their businesses. They don’t support the community or care about the appearance of their businesses. They disrespect the hand that feeds them, and they should be forced to change or forced out of business. They could not conduct business in any other area in this manor.

I spoke with FNUMA Executive Director & Commercial Revitalization Manager of the Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corp., Joel Dabu this morning after the meeting. He was very open to discussing the improvements & concerns being planned on Fulton Street, and is willing to answer any questions the community may have. From what was mentioned, FNUMA will be starting work on a design plan, as the city has approved 7.9 Million dollars to fund the revitalization project. Changes will most likely begin to take place in late spring of 2008.

I would encourage everyone to stay involved with what is happening here, as this will directly affect all of us.

I think a BID is definitely needed. I wish that there was the same push to create a BID for Myrtle east of Classon. The Fort Greene/Clinton Hill section of Myrtle has an ever-increasing variety of shops while the Bed-Stuy section of Myrtle looks pitiful, with many shabby and vacant storefronts. If a BID can promise a clean streetscape and a shopping experience that goes beyond beauty supplies, handbags, cell phones and discount clothing, I’m for it.
