Flatbush Avenue between Tillary and Hanson Place is going to get a spruce up to the tune of $15 million courtesy of the city. The idea is to create a “grand gateway” to downtown Brooklyn. The centerpiece of the project will be a “tall and very imposing” sculpture; in addition, there will be lots of new lights and plants. Construction should start in 2007 and last about two years.
