New Landscaped Plaza at Foot of Manhattan Bridge

Now that the Sands Street bike lane has been completed, work is proceeding apace on a new planted island at the foot of the Manhattan Bridge on the border of Dumbo and Downtown Brooklyn. According to one of the DOT folks we spoke to on-site, it will likely be called the Sands and Jay Plaza, in honor of the two streets that converge at the western edge of the triangular plot.
