An Update on the North Flatbush Streetscape Project

The North Flatbush Avenue BID recently shared an update about its streetscape improvement project, which has been in the works for a few years now. (The area currently has temporary improvements up until the full capital project can be completed next year.) City agencies submitted comments on the proposed design, and Parsons, which is a partner on the project, will incorporate the suggestions into a new design that will be available shortly. And the DEP, which plans to install bioswales on the triangles at 6th, 7th and 8th avenues, will begin soil testing to make sure the areas can support them. The entire project involves turning the Flatbush Avenue triangles into pedestrian spaces, improving crossings, and adding open space, trees, plants, and cafe tables and chairs.
