The DOT has announced a community-driven study aimed at redesigning a three-mile stretch of Conduit Avenue, which links Brooklyn and Queens. This area has seen over 40 serious injuries and five deaths in five years due to heavy traffic and a lack of pedestrian crossings. To address these concerns, the DOT is organizing workshops in Ozone Park and online, aimed at gathering community input. The study will also explore the possibility of using the 61-acre median, a remnant of former highway plans, to enhance community safety and accessibility.
