More 4th Avenue Upgrades Eyed

The Post reports that Marty Markowitz is exploring ways to improve 4th Avenue beyond the Planning Department’s proposed zoning amendment aimed at encouraging more commercial use in new developments. According to the article, the borough president has set up a task force that would oversee projects on the avenue that include adding plantings or art to subway median vents, making the thoroughfare safer, planting new trees on the sidewalk, and revamping Times Plaza at the intersection of Fourth, Atlantic and Flatbush avenues. If we’re understanding the story correctly, the task force would focus on the entire length of the avenue.
