9th Street and 4th Avenue Design Competition

A colleague and I are doing the Design Competition for 4th Avenue and 9th Street in Brooklyn, NY. We met today and came up with a great plan. The details are:

BRT down 4th Avenue

Bring back the Streetcars to 9th Street

Pedestrians only from 7-11th Streets

3-5th Avenues on 9th Street closed to cars

Create new commercial space under the tracks

Green roof

Benches, benches, and benches

Bike parking

Car tunnel on 4th Avenue from 6th - 12th Streets
