Maintaining Jane Street's Quality of Life
We remain vigilant about bars and lounges requesting late closings — as late as 4 am — as part of their application for a liquor license. These applications require neighborhood outreach before being heard by Community Board 2. Please join us in reviewing and commenting on these applications, to ensure that late-night hours, noise, patrons and traffic do not affect our quality of life. If you have an issue with an already established business, please email us and also contact our NCOs (Neighborhood Community Officers). CB2's monthly calendar of businesses petitioning for operating hours, etc is published online. Please get in touch if you'd like to join us (even if it is for just one meeting). More details on our local issues page.
Our 2nd annual Bagels & Bulbs event was a great success - thanks to all who helped plant 800 bulbs
Welcome to Jane Street!
Building Community and Preserving Quality of Life
On the bright and breezy morning of October 26, Jane Streeters gathered for a bagel breakfast and planted 800 (!) bulbs in the tree pits that ring the Jane Street Garden at 8th Avenue. The JSBA supplied gloves and tools...neighbors supplied the camaraderie. This was also our Annual Meeting, when members approved the slate of officers for 2020. Many also renewed their $20 annual memberships that support our efforts. It's easy via CC or Paypal online, here. Thank you!
Plant bulbs in the fall, enjoy them in spring!
Thank you to everyone who donated their time and money to make the West Street Park a reality. A special thank you to the NYSDOT for designing and installing the plants along this formerly barren stretch along the highway between Jane and Horatio. Come see for yourself!
