Will this weekend mark the start of Brooklyn's very own Carmaggedon?
In anticipation of car crowds at the new Barclays Nets arena, developer Forest City Ratner has proposed a series of changes to traffic patterns.
The major changes go into effect on Sunday and include:
- Conversion of Fourth Avenue into a one-way street going southbound between Atlantic and Flatbush avenues only.
- Reversing Pacific Street from one-way westbound to one-way eastbound between Fourth and Flatbush avenues.
- Installation of a traffic signal at Pacific Street and Flatbush Avenue, as well as a crosswalk.
- The ability for motorists to make a right or left turn from Pacific Street to Flatbush Avenue.
- Truck traffic will be barred from Pacific Street. Northbound Fourth Avenue truck traffic will be diverted to Third Avenue via Atlantic to get onto Flatbush.
