Flatbush Avenue between Tillary and Hanson Place is going to get a spruce up to the tune of $15 million courtesy of the city. The idea is to create a “grand gateway” to downtown Brooklyn. The centerpiece of the project will be a “tall and very imposing” sculpture; in addition, there will be lots of new lights and plants. Construction should start in 2007 and last about two years.

isnt this wonderful;
went to the first ‘campus’ of nyc comm. college [nytech,now] between
tillary and pearl……….
anyone go there then…….
Sounds like the press release to the Fulton Mall project way back when…
why waste $$$$ on brooklyn ?
Take the subway. Or the waaahmbulance. It’s on the way.
Hmm. Between not being able to make a left from the Manhattan bridge til you hit Myrtle and new construction, suspending two way traffic north of Flatbush on 6h Ave/Carlton (yes, that was two way before the infill rowhouses were built on Atlantic) , the cops parking all over any street coming FROM Park Slope, thus KEEPING it one way the wrong way and the upcoming Atlantic Yards construction, I think everyone in Ft. Greene is going to have to do all their shopping in Queens or Long Island because that’s about the only place we’ll be able to get to. The oxymoronic city “Traffic Engineers” have boxed us into a freaking island.
Just what IS the best way to get on the Queensboro bridge?
Oy gevalt! Scores of planning issues blown aside to argue about a totally conjetural “welcome statue”?
I suggest that this issue can best be resolved once the Second Avenune subway is opened.
Meanwhile, the more Lower East Side yuppies who stay om their side of the river the better! The trains are running quite eficiently.
AWWWWWWWWW, Linusvanpelt is whining! IT’S SO CUTE!!!!!
