Happy 4th Of July!

Happy Independence Day to all our South Slope neighbors! We hope you enjoy a fun and safe holiday!

There are some changes to look out for today — here’s what you need to know:

Here’s what you need to know:

• Government offices, courts, and Department of Motor Vehicle offices are closed Friday, July 4.

• There is no mail delivery.

• All Brooklyn Public Library branches are closed on Friday and Saturday.

• Alternate side parking is suspended. You do not have to pay parking meters.

• There is no garbage or recycling collection. If Friday is your garbage day, put your garbage out after 5pm Friday evening. If Friday is your recycling day, wait until next week to put your recycling out.

• Staten Island Ferry Service will be suspended on Friday from 8-10pm due to the fireworks. The last boat from both terminals will be at 7:30pm, and the next boat from both terminals will be at 10pm.

• On Friday, July 4, trains and buses will operate on a Saturday schedule (with additional trains running prior to the fireworks show).

If you’re out and about in the neighborhood this weekend and you take any photos of your festivities (or of anything else!), send them our way at editor@bklyner.com and we’ll post them on the site.
