Williamsburg property owners weigh paying extra on top of taxes for cleaner streets from Bedford Ave. to the waterfront

The proposed business improvement district would run from Bedford Avenue to the Kent Avenue waterfront. It needs a yes from the area's property owners, the City Council and the mayor before any fee takes effect.

Two images: the corner of Bedford Avenue and North 7th Street in Williamsburg, with pedestrians, a flower stand, a public litter basket and a striped awning reading '185 Bedford Ave'; the proposed business improvement district's website explaining assessment fees, with the line 'The fee is collected alongside property taxes, and thus is directly levied on the owner of the property. It can be thought of like an increase in property taxes' highlighted.
