Brooklyn Officials and Community Leaders Celebrate Street Safety Improvements on Atlantic Avenue

City and state elected officials representing the neighborhoods surrounding Brooklyn's Atlantic Avenue joined community leaders to celebrate safety upgrades planned by the Department of Transportation for the western-most section of this dangerous corridor. Area elected officials have pushed safety improvements on this street from the Department of Transportation for years. Updates will include signal changes, pedestrian islands, expanded mid-block crossings, curb enhancements, and the deployment of two full-time Traffic Enforcement Agents. Over the last five years, there have been 500 crashes on this portion of Atlantic Avenue. The street is a Vision Zero priority corridor, and safety interventions like the ones being implemented by the Department of Transportation can help reduce crashes and save lives. Spekaers include tate Senator Andrew Gounardes, Assembly Member Jo Anne Simon, Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, Council Member Lincoln Restler, Council Member Shahana Hanif, Lara Birnback of the Brooklyn Heights Association, and Kelly Carroll of the Atlantic Avenue BID.
