The Landmarks Preservation Commission and Brooklyn Community Board 3 will convene tomorrow night to host an open forum on four new proposed historic districts within Bedford-Stuyvesant and one expansion of an existing landmarked district in the neighborhood, according to neighborhood organization Bedford-Stuyvesant Society for Historic Preservation. If the plan were to go through, a combined 75 blocks in Bedford-Stuyvesant would be encompassed in the landmarking. The proposed districts — Bedford Corners, Stuyvesant East, Stuyvesant North and Stuyvesant West, along with the Stuyvesant Heights expansion — would extend roughly from Monroe Street to Fulton Street And From Bedford Avenue to Saratoga Avenue. If approved by the landmarks committee, the neighborhood would have a total of six designated historic districts. TRD
