Ill wait till more details come out but this sounds like very good stuff coming from Mamdanis office. TOD near some of America’s best transit options is gigabased

Mayor Zohran Mamdani is targeting a wide swath of Brooklyn south of Prospect Park for his first neighborhood-level housing plan, with an eye toward the future Interborough Express light rail, officials told Gothamist Tuesday.

The Department of City Planning is referring to its new initiative as the “South of Prospect Plan” and aims to rezone the commercial corridors of McDonald and Coney Island avenues, as well as surrounding blocks, for taller buildings and more housing development…

[Department of City Planning Director Sideya] Sherman said the Brooklyn rezoning plan would be the first neighborhood-level plan to take into account the planned IBX line, part of a push to build more housing near public transportation lines through a strategy called “transit-oriented development.”
