The New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) is unwilling to proceed with a redesign of Atlantic Avenue, a dangerous 13-block stretch, until after a traffic study is conducted. Lawmakers and the Borough President have pressed for immediate safety enhancements as part of ongoing neighborhood rezoning discussions. Despite existing community priorities, DOT's planner Dash Henley indicated that the traffic study may take up to two years before improvements could be made. Local council members called for urgent redesign efforts amidst ongoing safety concerns.
DOT's project in Atlantic Avenue will necessitate a two-year traffic study before any safety redesign, conflicting with local leaders' urgent demands for improvements.
Council Member Hudson emphasized the need for a fully funded commitment to redesign Atlantic Avenue, calling it one of the borough's most dangerous corridors.
