"The New York City Department of Transportation has put forward a bold plan to fix this clogged stretch of Flatbush from Livingston Street to Grand Army with a redesign that will move far more people much more quickly than it does today. And we can do that while making the road safer for everyone by turning a highway-like design into a calm, people-first street, with 28,800 square feet of new pedestrian space, and new designated"
"If you're reading this from Brooklyn's B41 bus, chances are you are stuck in stop-and-go traffic on Flatbush Avenue. The B41 is in the top-10 busiest bus routes in the entire city, yet from Downtown Brooklyn to the marshes of Marine Park, any Brooklynite today would tell you that Flatbush doesn't work well for anyone, whether you're on the bus, in a car, or trying to make a delivery to a local business."
Flatbush Avenue suffers severe stop-and-go traffic, especially north of Grand Army Plaza, impacting thousands of B41 riders, drivers, and local deliveries. The New York City Department of Transportation proposes a redesign from Livingston Street to Grand Army that prioritizes bus movement, adds dedicated bus lanes, and creates 28,800 square feet of new pedestrian space and designated loading zones. The plan aims to increase bus speeds and ridership while converting the highway-like corridor into a calmer, people-first street. The redesign includes safety upgrades at high-injury intersections, including Atlantic Avenue, and will be studied for future application farther south on Flatbush.
