Clean Streets

FAB kicked off its Sanitation Services in October 2009 when workers took to Fulton Street to empty overflowing garbage cans, sweep litter off sidewalks and remove flyers, stickers and graffiti from light posts and other street furniture. During the winter, they will be removing snow at the corners to make things easier on pedistrians. The workers are out there 6 days a week and are now easily identifiable by their uniforms that have them looking... FAB!

Holiday Lighting

In November and December 2010, Fulton Street was bright with Holiday lighting on every block - plus the sections of Lafayette, Greene and Putnam that are also in the FAB Alliance.

Banners

Fulton Street is about to be lined with bright, colorful banners hanging from 50 light posts in Clinton Hill and Fort Greene - enhancing the vibrant retail strip and letting people know there's more FAB things to see and do just a few blocks from where they are standing.

Beautifying Fulton Street

In partnership with the Pratt Area Community Council (PACC), FAB has secured $400,000 in funding though Council Member Tish James to add benches, bike racks and other beautification ideas - from Classon Avenue in Clinton Hill all the way to Ashland Place in Fort Greene. This initiative will begin with community input sessions where merchants, property owners and residents of the area will be invited to contribute thoughts and ideas.

More to come...

25, 580 BAGS OF TRASH

Between October 22, 2009 and June 2010, the crew has picked up litter, trash and leaves from the sidewalks in front of merchants all along Fulton Street... from Classon Avenue to Ashland Place, including parts of Putnam, Greene and Lafayette Avenue - even around the corners on the side streets.

SNOW, TOO!
On December 21 the first snow storm of the year hit. The crew was out in force on Fulton Street opening up paths in the piles of snow left behind at the crosswalks. How much snow was shoveled to clear paths at crosswalks? Approximately 1800 cubic feet in one day.
