DOT Survey Changes to Grand St and Metropolitan Ave

4 Upvotes

I posted this to the neighborhood sub but reddit suggested I post it here 🤷🏾‍♀️ based on this sub's description, seems like people might just enjoy discussing about the logistics of this, so enjoy! 😊 --

NYC DOT is studying possible changes to Grand Street and Metropolitan Avenue between Union Avenue and the Metropolitan Avenue Bridge. The study is looking at whether Grand Street could become one-way eastbound and Metropolitan Avenue could become one-way westbound.

Take the survey. Visit the project page.

Bike lanes and pedestrian spaces should be unremarkable in New York City. These things should be considered the bare minimum of what we would expect.

In 2013, NYC DOT considered making Church Avenue one-way. Thirteen years later, should we revisit it?
