According to an article in the New York Post, the Bloomberg administration will be providing $15 million "as part of an overhaul that will include modernized bus shelters, benches and other contemporary street furniture, with more lighting and trees."
Other noted improvements include $3-4M set aside to create 10,000 square ft of green space at the former Albee Square mall, as well as extending a continuous planted median from the Brooklyn Bridge to Atlantic Avenue.
Fulton Mall is definitely in need of being updated, but will new bus shelters and more trees create a better, more attractive shopping environment?
