The bold concepts outlined in this report would invest in working-class neighborhoods and reconnect communities long-divided by the Brooklyn Queens Expressway.
Renderings show the dark, dirty intersections under the elevated portions of the highway transformed into clean, well-lit community spaces with bike lanes, pedestrian walkways, and shopping kiosks.
Thousands of Brooklynites living in the neighborhoods around the BQE have participated in feedback and public workshops over the past two years, reflecting their biggest complaints and desires.
The 154-page document lays out a series of proposals for seven different sections of the 10.6 mile stretch of state-owned BQE, addressing safety, public space, and connectivity needs.
