As promised, work has begun on the new and debatably improved Kent Avenue. Workers have stripped the section between Broadway and Clymer, preparing it for new asphalt (motorists and cyclists beware). Halden over at Brooklyn11211 asks, as many have, if the new one-way Kent will actually be an improvement: he mentions that since they are ripping up a recently paved road, they should be installing the actual greenway, but they aren’t. More importantly, he adds, Kent Avenue will still be a busy throughfare, and people will need to cross it: “If DOT is not using this opportunity to put in traffic lights at at least three or four intersections between Grand and North 14th, they just don’t get it.” According to the DOT website, there are no plans to install more traffic lights, although the outline calls for “new signs and markings” in late September and October.
