Atlantic Arena, Traffic Mitigation plans
North Flatbush Avenue BID
Here's further notice of traffic changes due to construction of the new Nets arena:
The following changes are scheduled to take place on July 15th, 2011.
Conversion of Fourth Avenue between Atlantic Avenue and Flatbush Avenue into a one-way southbound street.
• Reversal of the direction of Pacific Street between Fourth and Flatbush avenues, changing it from westbound to eastbound.
• Installation of a new traffic light at the intersection of Pacific Street and Flatbush Avenue, and a new crosswalk across from Flatbush Avenue, where vehicles will be able to make right or left turns onto Flatbush Avenue.
• Cars and trucks can use Third Avenue via Atlantic to get to Flatbush Avenue. Pacific Street will offer secondary access to Flatbush Avenue, but trucks are not permitted to use it.
The changes mean that Flatbush Avenue-bound cars on Fourth Avenue will either have to turn on Pacific Street, or take Atlantic Avenue to Third Avenue: the Flatbush Two Step is born.
NoLandGrab: Rather than mitigation, this is a plan for aggravation.
