Traffic Armageddon in Bed-Stuy? Oh my!
Block associations muster opposition to Nostrand Avenue school construction plan
Traffic Armageddon on Nostrand Avenue?
That’s what worried Bedford-Stuyvesant block association members fear if an 850-student private school is built in their midst.
Buses from P.S. 54 and tractor-trailer deliveries at Home Depot and child-resistant pill-bottle cap maker Van Barclom Closures (VBC) already fill the streets – and select bus service takes up a lane of Nostrand Avenue. Add a large pre-K-through-grade-12 school to the mix – it’s slated for the corner of Nostrand and Willoughby avenues – and you’re in for big traffic troubles, they predict.
“It’s going to be pretty crazy,” David Goldsmith, a member of the Willoughby Nostrand Marcy Block Association, told the Brooklyn Eagle.
