Key Takeaways

Broadway has emerged as a key corridor, followed by Myrtle Avenue and Bushwick Avenue. Issues vary between the corridors, with a focus on speeding and traffic calming on Bushwick Avenue, and concerns about lack of lighting and dangerous intersections on Broadway and Myrtle, as well as closed subway entrances on Broadway.

Key intersections include Broadway-Myrtle and Broadway-Flushing, followed by Broadway/Cooper, Broadway/Gates, and Broadway Junction.

Key issues include ADA accessibility to subway stations, closed subway entrances, dangerous intersections (particularly those with difficult geometry), speeding, poor or dangerous cycling conditions, traffic congestion, potholes, options for express trains/buses, and lighting, particularly under elevated rail lines.

Vision Zero Prioritization Priority Corridors:

Broadway (3 groups, 1 person)

More lighting under the elevated rail structure and a high-visibility crosswalk at the intersection with Linden Street were identified as priorities. Other issues we heard include a general need for more crosswalks, closed subway entrances at all J/Z stops, and concerns about potholes and resurfacing needs. Priority intersections along this corridor include intersections with Cooper, Gates, Myrtle, Flushing, and Broadway Junction, although it was noted that all intersections on Broadway should be looked at to improve overall circulation/experience/environment. Additionally, ADA accessibility at all stations and closed subway stations is an issue.

Myrtle Avenue (2 group priority #2, 2 people)

Along this corridor, the Myrtle-Broadway intersection was identified as a priority. Other issues we heard include need for better lighting under elevated train structures.

Bushwick Avenue (1 group, 2 people)

Participants identified a need for Bushwick Avenue to be friendlier to pedestrians. Particular issues include speeding, truck traffic, delivery windows, and enforcement of speed limits.

Priority intersections:

Myrtle-Broadway (2 groups)

• Safety: crossing is difficult for pedestrians. This is a “scary” intersection that could benefit from curb extensions, high-visibility crosswalks, longer cross times, and pedestrian refuges • Traffic circulation: there are numerous conflicts between buses, pedestrians, and cars, and there is bus congestion. Eliminating turns was mentioned as a potential fix. • Access to transit: people need better access to the train station (additional stairway capacity), as well as ADA accessibility • Public space: lighting needs to be improved, add wayfinding signage

Broadway-Flushing (2 groups)

Cyclist and pedestrian safety were identified as a priority issue at this intersection. Additionally, people are concerned about closed subway entrances.

Broadway Junction

Broadway Junction was identified as an important area for cyclist and pedestrian access, and an important location for access to East New York.

OPEN SPACE AND TRANSPORTATION Results from April 8, 2017 Open Space and Transportation Summit

During the Open Space and Transportation Summit, we collected data, ideas, and vetted recommendations from 55 community members about Bushwick parks. There were two ways we gathered input from participants; entrance activities and small group discussions.

Entrance Activities: HEADCOUNT* There were two entrance activities that people passively interacted with; 1. Which Park Do You Go To? - to understand which parks people are using and where they are coming from in the neighborhood 2. Parks without Borders - to gather ideas around how people would like to 55 see the edges of parks in terms of design and programming to inform the Parks Without Borders program if it is implemented in Bushwick parks. *From Event Sign-in, not including staff Small Group Discussion Activities For the small group discussions there were three activities; 1. Issues and Needs Within Bushwick Parks - to understand what issues and ideas for capital improvements people have in specific Bushwick parks; 2. What You Want to See in Bushwick Parks - to understand what people wish to see in the design of new and improved open spaces in Bushwick, absent a current capital design project; 3. Open Space Recommendations - a discussion around the recommendations the subcommittee has developed to vet if they are achieving the goals we set out and if there are additional ideas community members have that should be incorporated into them. last activity, residents provided comments on open space recommendations and voted on the most preferred.

Where did • Bushwick doesn’t have much open space playground go? • NYCHA land can be used for more open space • Confusion about relationship between mischief and • Integrate a ‘Friends of’ group for the parks to help fences.

Parks with might come with improvements to comfort station programming could be that space.

OBJECTIVE 4: Better promote open space programming General Comments SPANISH GROUP ENGLISH GROUP • No feedback • Outreach is key. The outreach through CBOs doesn’t always work. Need more direct [outreach in places like] laundromats, schools, Tony’s Pizzeria. • Parks partnerships with schools. Ask what parents and students want.

[There is] no CPI parks in western part of neighborhood, no person there. • Parks has outreach coordinators and they are under- staffed. Could Friends of groups from outreach teams ask people what they’d like to see? • NYCHA issues: could do community policing better, spotlights are common with no communication. • Need more officers from Bushwick. • Digital divide issue: parks doesn’t do print info. The parks should have info in the space and people to engage with.
