Classon Avenue Redesign Coming This Month

by


The Classon Avenue Streetscape project begins construction in two weeks on Monday, April 30th. On Classon Avenue through Crown Heights, Clinton Hill and Bedford Stuyvesant, the Department of Transportation will paint parking-lane lines on both sides of the street; install a single, 11-foot-wide center travel lane in low-traffic areas; put in two 10-foot-wide market travel lanes in busier areas; and add three traffic lanes to the half block south of Atlantic Avenue, which is meant to force more cars to wait for the light. No bike lane installation, in case you’re wondering. Signal timing will be adjusted and the avenue will also be repaved. Eleven parking spots will be lost between Atlantic and Pacific.
