"Grand Army Plaza is the gateway to Brooklyn's backyard, Prospect Park and it should welcome New Yorkers with street design that puts safety first. Anyone who's tried to cross here knows how dangerous and chaotic the streets can be."
"This redesign is long overdue and will provide a sense of ease and enjoyment to one of Brooklyn's most important public spaces."
"The proposal is aimed at boosting public space in one of the borough's most popular destinations, while also doing away with a hazardous stretch of road that often brings drivers into contact with large crowds and cyclists."
Mayor Zohran Mamdani aims to transform Grand Army Plaza by removing car traffic between Prospect Park and the Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Arch. The plan includes converting the road to a pedestrian plaza, making Grand Army Plaza no longer a traffic circle. Vehicles will reroute around the arch's northern side. The redesign will introduce new pedestrian safety features and improved bicycle infrastructure, addressing the dangerous conditions that have led to numerous crashes and injuries in the area.
