Group Hug, Everyone: Girding for a More Crowded Brooklyn
The NYC Department of Transportation is making safety and mobility improvements, particularly in the growing, high-traffic areas of Atlantic Yards and downtown Brooklyn
Park Slope Patch

Over the last ten years in Central Brooklyn and its surrounding neighborhoods, housing and commercial development has accelerated at lightening speed.
As residents squeeze in tighter to make room for these changes, the New York City Department of Transportation is making safety and mobility improvements, particularly in the high-traffic areas of Atlantic Yards and downtown Brooklyn.
Details about these changes to the area at and around the intersections of Flatbush, Atlantic and Fourth avenues are posted on FCRC’s Atlantic Yards Web site. The changes are being made in accordance with steps detailed in the project’s 2006 Environmental Impact Statement.
Beginning July 31, 2011, the City began reviewing these measures and will continue to monitor these steps after they are implemented.
