20mph Speed Limit Zone Coming to Boerum Hill?
The L Magazine
by Benjamin Sutton
Last summer the city's Department of Transportation announced plans to test out a (relatively) radical new traffic control plan by creating some pilot 20 miles-per-hour zones, with a few to establishing more if the test areas are deemed successful. Residents of Boerum Hill really want to be guinea pigs for this program.
...Weirdly, the typically anti-car control Post is all for the idea, especially in anticipation of additional traffic in the area once the Atlantic Yards' Barclay's Center is playing host to frequent professional basketball games. More additional traffic to the area is also expected due to upcoming BQE renovations.
