Closing Bell: Median for Flatbush
Construction started on a median down Flatbush Avenue, at Tillary. It is part of a larger traffic calming effort in Downtown Brooklyn which includes the addition of more medians and trees that will be planted throughout the streetscape.

Lipstick on a pig.
This is a GREAT project that will take a dangerous and UGLY thoroughfare and make it into a really wonderful avenue. Now, if we can only get funding from the city / state to do the same for Tillary Street!
The rendering does not show the double parking at Juniors or the concrete walls and construction on Tillary. Traffic is already backed up, so add a stadium and some trees? I am sure the exhaust from the cars idling in traffic will be great for the environment.
Grand army, at least according to the renderings, there don’t appear to be any lanes lost. In fact, IMO, most of the problems with Flatbush are the odd lane additions and subtractions here and there, and all the double and triple parking around DeKalb/Fulton Mall.
road engineering –> traffic engineering
(not concerned with the roadbed…)
grand army… I love when folks like you don’t get how road engineering works. This is a traffic calming thing — yes. But that’s a broad term. it will also provide turning areas and prevent a lot of the douche bag shenanigans that cause a lot of the standstill…
No driving here, so do what you want to that street.
Wait a minute, do any of you drive? Flatbush is often at a standstill as it is. This could make the flow of traffic grind to a complete halt.
Although there probably will be some traffic calming as a result, the reconstruction of Flatbush Avenue is a beautification project, part of the Downtown Brooklyn Development Plan.
