DOT meeting on improving ‘scary’ Flatbush Avenue
Hoping to improve congested corridor
A stretch of Flatbush Avenue is called “scary” by residents and hair-raising by drivers. Now the city’s Department of Transportation wants your feedback about proposed safety improvements for this section of Flatbush, running between Ocean Avenue/Empire Boulevard and Nostrand Avenue.
Flatbush Avenue is one of roughly a dozen such avenues in the city’s “Congested Corridor” study. DOT hopes residents will examine the stretch’s issues and make recommendations to improve the lane configuration, reduce double parking and make the roadway safer.
To that end, a public meeting will take place on Monday, September 30 at 7:30 p.m., at Erasmus Hall Auditorium, 911 Flatbush Avenue. (Subway: Church Ave. B, Q; Bus: B41 to Church Ave.)
