Transformation of Flatbush Avenue ‘Triangle Parks’ begins next week
In the works for more than a decade
After more than a decade of advocacy and planning, a project to transform three triangular parks along North Flatbush Avenue into pedestrian-friendly islands of green will kick off next week.
The North Flatbush Reconstruction Project will bring new sidewalks, benches, wayfaring signs, solar compactors, infrastructure and greenery to three traffic triangles formed where Flatbush Avenue intersects with Carlton, Sixth and Seventh avenues, not far from Barclays Center.
Along with digging up and expanding the triangles, the city will upgrade street infrastructure with new water mains, catch basins and manholes, traffic signals and street lighting.
