Board: Advances on many fronts
This year will be a big one at Brooklyn Bridge Park, Board President Regina Myer reported at a Feb. 26 Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation (BBPC) board meeting, held at Borough Hall.
Myer described progress on a number of fronts at the popular waterfront park. This includes the kickoff of construction on the new Main Street Park section, the start of a residential project on John Street, a pedestrian bridge over a tidal salt marsh at the foot of Jay Street, a traffic pilot project, and work on the Empire Stores and Tobacco Warehouse.
Myer said a “loop road” pilot project, which will ease congestion and increase safety near Piers 5 and 6, was moving ahead.
