Park Slope planned last night with Brooklyn’s Urban Planning Talk, shaping NYC’s spring at a 5th Avenue hall. Architect Mia Chen pitched bike lanes as 150 debated, a $10 ticket dive into grids. It’s borough blocks—pure BK vibe, stakes hot. A kid drew a street; a pro grilled zoning. ‘Brooklyn builds—this is it,’ Chen says, flipping blueprints. The room turned cityscape.
The talk’s new—March 23’s start, it doubled since RSVPs, packing seats by 7 p.m. Chen’s a Slope designer; last night’s crowd hit max—maps glowed. A latecomer nabbed a chair; Q&A buzzed—NYC grit shone. Ideas for parks flew—future ruled. #BKPlanning trended; Queens wants a lane.
Some griped—’Too wonky,’ sniped a newbie, dodging stats. Lights dimmed—fixed quick; vision held. A rival’s pitching a Greenpoint chat, splitting plans. Still, 200 stayed—blocks reigned. Park Slope’s never mapped so bold.
Chen’s teasing a series, maybe a tour if spring bites. ‘NYC’s streets—this shapes ‘em,’ she says, packing drafts. The talk’s a Brooklyn win—grit meets grid. It’s a planning rush; join the next. Bring a pen—lines call.
