Description

A wide center Plaza is created by pushing all traffic to a broad, tree-lined circular boulevard. The expanded center becomes a platform for a range of community activities, much like Union Square or Bryant Park. An elevated pedestrian promenade circles the Plaza.

Features

• traffic pushed to Plaza’s edges, expanding center oval
• elevated pedestrian promenade; system of bikeways
• traffic calmed by making Eighth Ave. and Prospect Park West 2-way
• safety increased with T-intersections and signals
• cafés, greenmarket, playground, auditorium
