BOROUGH PRESIDENT MARTY MARKOWITZ ANNOUNCES “GRAFFITI BLITZ” IN BROOKLYN
On Wednesday, September 29, 2004, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, Councilmember Diana Reyna and the Economic Development Corporation kicked off a Graffiti Blitz at Kid City in Bushwick. After the graffiti trucks remove the graffiti at Kid City they will be sent throughout Bushwick and Williamsburg to clean 44 sites. By the end of this week, the trucks will have cleaned over 40 blocks. “This graffiti blitz is part of our ongoing efforts to keep Brooklyn graffiti free,” said Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz. “Graffiti, if left unchecked, causes people to look upon their neighborhood in a way that is not conducive to neighborhood improvement and preservation. In 2003, I allocated $130,000 to purchase two graffiti removal trucks because I want Brooklyn to be the cleanest that it can be so that all our residents and businesses can take pride in their neighborhood.” This Graffiti Blitz is part of Graffiti Free Brooklyn, a program started in fall of 2002 by Brooklyn Borough President Markowitz in partnership with the Economic Development Corporation. So far, over 400 sites have been cleaned throughout Brooklyn. Graffiti Free Brooklyn is a free graffiti removal program and will be in service until the weather gets to be forty degrees or below. Brooklynites should call 718-802-3875 to report graffiti that should be removed from residential or commercial buildings. Assistant Vice President of the New York City Economic Development Corporation Craig Small, Deputy Inspector Richard Bruno of the 83rd Precinct, Commanding Officer of the 90th Precinct Larry Nikunen, District Manager of Community Board 4 Nadine Whitted, and Kid City store owner Ralph Escava also attended the announcement. |
