CB 10 Voted Against the Dispensary on 86th St.
We were glad to hear Community Board 10 vote against the cannabis shop that is setting up on 86th Street and 12th Avenue.
Community Board 10’s vote is “just advisory” because there is a cannabis department in the government which decides if a cannabis shop gets set up on your street.
See this street view map here
The address of the shop is 1205 – 86th Street.
This location is next to people’s homes! That storefront used to be for a bridal shop. (We are sorry for all the stress this is causing people on 86th Street and around 12th Avenue.)
When Senator Andrew Gounardes voted to legalize cannabis, he was not able to calculate how those changes will hurt Brooklyn.
We have ILLEGAL pot shops all over the neighborhood and Gounardes has not moved to shut them down. The fact that a business can operate illegally for almost two years and the Senator just stands by is RIDICULOUS.
Gounardes should be working to stop cannabis shops next to people’s homes! We need leaders who can speak out for our community.
Hugs,
