Ideas for the Brooklyn Strand include a permanent home for Smorgasburg
Imagine a new home for Smorgasburg or a revamped Brooklyn War Memorial at Cadman Plaza Park with better lighting, bathrooms and more public programming. These were some of the ideas community members brainstormed during a Community Board 2 (CB2) meeting that focused on the Brooklyn Strand at the Ingersoll Recreational Center in Downtown Brooklyn on Thursday.
The Brooklyn Strand is the nickname for the 116-acre swatch of parks and public spaces between Borough Hall and Brooklyn Bridge Park in Downtown Brooklyn that the city hopes to redesign. The idea behind the Brooklyn Strand initiative is to make the area easier for pedestrian traffic and better connected to the surrounding neighborhoods.
