Road Closures and Holidays

September is a very busy month for Crown Heights with lots of road closures and celebrations of holidays and our culture. Labor Day and the Jewish holidays are a time when our residents express our joy through music, dance, and celebration.

We ask that everyone stays patient and respectful of each other. We expect many more guests in the neighborhood. Please feel free to reach out to us, the community boards, the precinct community councils or the CHJCC with questions and concerns.

Follow road closures here.
