Traffic Calming Measures on Classon Avenue Inch Forward
The Local [Fort Greene/Clinton Hill]
by Mary Shell
Over the last several months, members of the Classon, Lexington, and Quincy Block Association, known as CLEXY, have noticed with mounting concern the new signs indicating no left turns off Atlantic Avenue onto Vanderbilt and Washington Avenues – leaving Classon Avenue as one of the few Clinton Hill streets to remain open to traffic coming from Atlantic.
“It has become clear,” said Laura Benko, president of CLEXY, at the group’s meeting last Thursday evening, “that Classon Avenue has been targeted as the primary means of egress for future Atlantic stadium traffic.”
After Community Board 2’s Oct. 12 approval of traffic calming measures on Classon Avenue, CLEXY members said last Thursday that they still worried about traffic from the planned Barclays Center arena on Atlantic Avenue, pedestrian safety, and signage on Classon Avenue.
