II. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The Pitkin Avenue BID runs west to east and is comprised of 14 blocks from Howard Avenue to Mother Gaston Boulevard. The BID also includes a two block section of Rockaway Avenue from Glenmore to Belmont Avenues. Our retailers are a mix of independently-owned Mom-andPops and name brand chains. Our analysis of the built environment includes a brief history of the Pitkin Avenue business corridor, current zoning regulations, and the common facade design issues this guide seeks to remediate.
