The Downtown Brooklyn Partnership is gearing up for a $15 million renovation of the Fulton Mall. According to an article by Stephen Witt in the print edition of yesterday’s Courier Life, the renovation will take two years and be performed in two phases. Phase 1 will create new public space (to be called Albee Square Plaza) in front of the entrance to the old Albee Square Mall; as part of this project, Dekalb Avenue will be closed from Bond Street to Albee Square West. The Partnership envisions this space being used for anything from performances to outdoor markets. Phase 2, which won’t start until next year, will address outdoor infrastructure like sidewalks and street furniture throughout the rest of the Fulton Mall. “The new streetscape will bring everything down to a more personal and individual level so instead of seeing a giant ugly bus shelter you will see trees, benches, plantings and the stores,” DBP’s Michael Burke told The Courier. Existing retail tenants and landlords, who have been consulted though the design process, are looking forward to the upgrades: “When we saw the plans for this we were absolutely thrilled,” said Macy’s SVP Ed Goldberg. “It will make the whole streetscape much more modern and conducive to shopping and safer.”
I just wish people would stop throwing their garbage on the sidewalks on Fulton Mall. Come on folks… there’s garbage cans at every bus stop on the mall yet you can’t seem to muster the motivation to walk a few steps to th garbage can to dispose of your McDonald’s and KFC wrappers and bags. You really must drop it right where you stand while waiting for the bus? If you love Fulton Mall so much the way it is now, why do you treat it like a garbage dump? I’m just saying.
Where are the people yelling Get you free phone! No credit Bad credit any credit get your free phone?
The rendering alone says it all. Get rid of the African American’s who frequent the Mall now and replace them with the people that we want there. Quite sad, indeed. Shouldn’t we have a diverse population on the Mall which reflects the diversity of the Borough?
I know, why do they insist on making it better.
“He is in a class with these folks. Neither of these people are really interested in a serious debate, and neither has a strongly-held belief. Rather, their main objective is to pump up their own noteriety, and if it takes an outrageous statement to do so (in the absence of real talent or insight),well, so be it.”
