At the CB2 Transportation meeting this week, the DOT presented plans for a more pedestrian-friendly set-up near BAM and the LIRR station, reports Streetsblog. “Cars will no longer be able to turn onto Hanson Place from the intersection of Flatbush and Fourth Avenue, where a new permanent sidewalk will be constructed. Pedestrians will also be able to cross Flatbush and Fourth Avenue more easily, with the implementation of a 31-second exclusive walk phase,” they write. Pedestrians have only eight seconds now. Work should begin in three weeks.
