The Eagle’s Lore Croghan reports on a plan, the “Public Realm Action Plan”, by the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership, a private, not-for-profit organization, for a “sweeping redesign” of the streetscape in our nearby neighborhood, where many of us shop. Contributing to the design, along with architecture and design studio WXY, was Bjarke Ingels Group, which has also proposed a design for relocation of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway below Brooklyn Heights.
The Eagle story quotes DBP President Regina Myer, whom you may remember in her previous role as President of the Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation: “We want to go further than any business district in the city by reorienting streets away from cars and toward pedestrian, cyclist and mass-transit use.”
