Community Workshop on
the Prospect Expressway Corridor

The NYU Capstone Team--comprised of four urban planning students in the NYU Wagner Graduate School of Public Service--and the Office of the Brooklyn Borough President will be holding a free community workshop about the Prospect Expressway corridor.
Neighborhood residents of all ages, workers, and employers are invited to attend and share their thoughts on the current state of the Prospect Expressway as well as their suggestions for improving the corridor. The current state, as we all know, is hazardous at best and deadly at worst.

New York City Councilmember Brad Lander has asked the New York City Department of Transportation, New York State Department of Transportation, and the NYPD to participate in a separate community meeting about the Prospect Expressway/Church Avenue intersection. A pedestrian was struck and killed there on February 27th.
A meeting has not yet been scheduled.
In addition, Lander and New York State Assemblymember Robert Carroll co-authored a letter to the three agencies mentioned above. In the letter, they requested a comprehensive review of the intersection, quick implementation of changes, and increased enforcement of laws by the NYPD immediately.
