BP Reynoso: DOT Must Open its Street Safety Toolkit on Atlantic Ave.
Briefly

Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso urges the inclusion of significant street safety upgrades in a new land-use proposal for Atlantic Avenue. His recommendations involve reducing car lanes from six to four, introducing paid parking solutions, and prioritizing infrastructure enhancements in the Lowry Triangle. While he commends the aim for improved urban design, he expresses disappointment over minimal details surrounding these changes. Reynoso's support hinges on the implementation of these conditions as part of the Atlantic Avenue Mixed Use Plan, which aims to reshape the area for mixed-use development and affordable housing.
The Borough President is encouraged that improving urban design and infrastructure is a named goal, however, is disappointed by the lack of proposed details.
Daylighting streets is necessary, but a bare minimum; this kind of work should be integrated into the scope of every routine DOT repaving project.
