Pacific Park middle school site sparks pedestrian safety concerns
Pacific Park’s new middle school will have more students than initially planned, adding to Prospect Heights residents’ worries about their kids safety as they go to and from school.
The public school will have 800 students, New York City School Construction Authority community liaison Tamar Smith said at a Pacific Park Quality of Life meeting on Tuesday night — up from an initial estimate of 640.
The school will be built at 664 Pacific St., just a block away from busy Barclays Center, the NYPD’s 78th Precinct Station and the FDNY Engine 219/Ladder 105 firehouse.
