The first visible results of the redesign are here. Two center-running boarding islands have been poured on Flatbush Avenue, with construction spanning seven active blocks.
This is part of a larger BRT corridor planned from Livingston Street to Grand Army Plaza, expected to wrap up by fall 2026.
The situation here is getting worse every single year.
And it’s not just the peeling tiles. Have you seen the ceilings? There are deep, serious problems with the waterproofing 😥
One proposal is a more traditional boulevard design, while the other includes a bike lane. However, in certain sections, bicycle and pedestrian traffic would share the same space.
Walked past Flatbush and Atlantic today - construction is already going. One lane each direction, cops directing traffic.
This is just the beginning, they’re planning center-running bus lanes all the way up to Grand Army Plaza.
Curious what people think, especially if you drive or take the B41 regularly 🤷
