BOERUM HILL — Approximately 100 additional parking spaces will soon be available for afternoon shoppers along Atlantic Avenue in Boerum Hill, following the Department of Transportation's surrender to 20 years of community opposition to the parking ban along four long and busy blocks.
The decision to end the 4-7 p.m. no standing rule on the south side of Atlantic, between Smith Street and Third Avenue, comes as the area braces for a fresh surge of traffic problems when the Barclays Center opens just east of the strip in September.
