Fulton Street Goes Two-Way Again
At some point in the last 24 hours, the Clinton Hill stretch of Fulton Street, reduced to a one-way work site for more than two years, finally re-opened to two-way traffic. Let’s hope it’s not too late for the businesses that held on as the mismanaged $5 million project took a year longer than planned….

Some Real Answers on the Fulton Street Dig [Brownstoner]
It felt so funny and seemed strange to drive only on the right.They took so long with this project I cant get used to the two way street.I don’t think the MTA got the news cause the buses were still running on Atlantic when I last looked.
That’s just not my experience cmu. Two way makes it an artery from either direction. How could traffic be lessened and slower when you open it up in both directions? Witness Union Street in Park Slope!
For those of us who take buses, this is great news! (unless we live in northwestern Crown Heights I guess)
I almost had a head-on yesterday while driving down/up Fulton. (That didn’t sound right.)
***Bid half off peak comps***
What? That’s totally wrong, Nok. 2 way streets are way more friendly than one way. Traffic moves slower for one thing. Compare 5th/7th Avs to Court/Smith streets, for instance. Which would you rather cross and shop at?
We should turn PPS and 8th Ave in PS to 2-ways! Is there a group advocating this?
Ah. Feeling oppositional today. And the Park Slope thread got me cranky.
I was actually making a joke Nokilissa. I think wasder is right about the necessary bus traffic
In this case Noklissa, there is no way this will be a bad thing. Bus traffic will return to the street now bringing alot of foot traffic back to what has been a no man’s land for two years.
I concur with Dave. Seems like a double edged sword here. I have seen quiet, safe streets turn to sh*t after this change was enacted (such as on the LES).
