"What's so appealing about Bay Ridge and Fifth Avenue especially is its diversity. It's a small town in a big city. Everyone knows each other, and that's why Bay Ridge is so special," BID Executive Director Elizabeth Lovejoy told the Eagle at last year's milestone festival.

"We're going to double the sidewalk space, shorten the sidewalks, so that the avenue is safer to cross, green the avenue with more than 230 tree planters and adding new seating and better lighting."
