Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway

The Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway is a planned 14-mile pedestrian and bicycle route connecting communities along Brooklyn's waterfront. Separate paths for bicycles and pedestrians will allow cyclists and walkers to commute, exercise, explore, and relax from Newtown Creek in north Brooklyn to the beginning of the Shore Parkway Greenway in Bay Ridge, creating a full 27-mile greenway along Brooklyn's waterfront. The Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway is a trunk segment in New York City's expanding network of greenways, which includes the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway, the Queens East River Greenway, the Shore Parkway Greenway, and the Jamaica Bay Greenway. Over the past decade, New York City has truly opened public access to the waterfront with over 60 miles of public space planned or under construction. The completion of the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway is a crucial part of this vision. Several segments of the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway are already in place and include some of the most popular bicycle and pedestrian routes in the City. Altogether, this unique set of pathways, green spaces, and public programs is transforming Brooklyn's waterfront.

DUMBO/Vinegar Hill Street & Plaza Reconstruction

NYC DOT is working with DDC, the DUMBO Improvement District, and the communities of DUMBO and Vinegar Hill to develop a design for a $20 million capital project to reconstruct cobble roadways and subsurface utilities on multiple blocks of DUMBO and Vinegar Hill and build out Pearl Plaza, a successful public space that NYC DOT and DUMBO Improvement District implemented in 2007 using temporary materials. The streets in the project area consist of granite cobbles, generally in poor condition, with some sections of asphalt. These conditions impede bicycles, are difficult for pedestrians and do not meet Americans with Disability Act (ADA) guidelines. At the same time, community members feel strongly about preserving the character of the neighborhood to the greatest extent possible. NYC DOT is committed to a design that restores all streets with granite cobble in a way that makes these streets available for all users, including cyclists. For the Pearl Plaza, the goal is to create a design responsive to community desires, which incorporates seating and landscape elements in a manner that is consistent with the context, and that provides maximum flexibility for programming. The plaza design will connect Pearl Plaza to an adjacent public space under the Manhattan Bridge Arch. This design project includes extensive community outreach, with three public workshops held as of March, 2013. Following a vigorous discussion about the cobble roadway design at a workshop in January, 2013, the designers incorporated neighborhood feedback and presented revised concepts at a workshop on March 20th. The project team then built granite cobble mock-ups which were viewed by approximately 50-60 members of the public. Based on public input, a presentation was made to the Community Board 2 executive board, which endorsed the project on July 22, 2013. The project design will be submitted and presented to the Landmarks Preservation Commission in September 2013

Emmons Avenue, Jamaica Bay Greenway Connector

NYC DOT proposes traffic safety improvements on Emmons Avenue between Shore Boulevard and Brigham Street to improve safety on a high crash corridor while providing a continuous, protected bicycle connection to the Jamaica Bay Greenway. Community District 15 is a Priority Bicycle District with a high number of cyclists killed or severely injured combined with a low density of bicycle network coverage. Improvements include a new two-way parking-protected bicycle path, shortened pedestrian crossing distances with painted islands and a concrete curb extension, and better traffic organization and alignment with turn bays and signal timing updates.

This proposal will maintain traffic capacity and parking spaces, while increasing safety for all road users. It will also create a critical connection to the Jamaica Bay Greenway, the 11-mile recreational path that connects cyclists and joggers to 10,000 acres of parks and beaches and which is used by 100,000 people per year. Once implemented it will extend the greenway experience into the neighborhood, provide comfortable space for cyclists of all ages and experience levels, and reduce conflicts between cyclists, pedestrians, and vehicles.

Broadway Vision, Union Square to Columbus Circle

Since the 2009 Greenlight for Midtown, NYC DOT has worked in partnership with Business Improvement Districts and other community stakeholders to further enhance Broadway for pedestrians and cyclists. As part of this ongoing work, NYC DOT has developed a comprehensive vision for a vibrant and safe Broadway from Union Square to Columbus Circle which supports local business, community, and culture. Through a flexible toolkit, block types from basic, to slow, to shared, to pedestrianized plazas can be organized to meet a variety of stakeholder needs, amplifying the public realm of each unique neighborhood while building a cohesive transportation network.

As part of this comprehensive public realm plan for Broadway, in 2021 NYC DOT developed three projects along the corridor which prioritize pedestrians and cyclists: 1) Slow Streets in Flatiron, 21st to 23rd Streets; 2) A Plaza and Slow Street in the Garment District, 38th to 40th Streets; and 3) Slow Streets in Times Square, 47th to 53rd Streets.

Flatiron Plaza & Shared Street

The Flatiron Plazas were implemented using interim materials in 2008. The plazas (Broadway/5th Avenue between 21st and 25th Streets) were an important milestone in NYC DOT's efforts to enhance pedestrian accessibility and have transformed what was a congested, traffic dominated and hostile environment into a landmark public space.
In 2017 NYC DOT refreshed the plazas and implemented a series of enhancements focused on public space, pedestrian safety and circulation whilst maintaining vehicular circulation. These proposals simplified the complex intersection of Broadway/5th Avenue/24th St, added a new protected bike lane on Broadway and 5th Avenue and converted the block of Broadway between 25th and 24th Streets into a Shared Street.
NYC DOT is now working with NYC DDC to develop the preliminary design for the permanent reconstruction of the plazas, shared street and Worth Square. This design was presented to Community Board 5 on March 4th, 2019 and can be viewed at the following link.
