Brooklyn without the BQE? Exhibit explores options
From Brooklyneagle.com
An exhibit by the Institute for Public Architecture on alternatives to the Brooklyn Queens Expressway — which suggests doing away with the BQE altogether — is generating quite a bit of discussion in the Brooklyn and Queens communities.
Portions of the BQE have been under criticism in Brooklyn for many years. The elevated portion of the highway in Sunset Park has long been thought of as an impediment to the area’s renaissance.
