Among the enhancements suggested to facilitate those “gateways” are zoning changes to create development opportunities at Boerum Place and extending the commercial zone all the way to the waterfront to draw foot traffic to Furman Street. “Today [Furman Street] is a very difficult place to walk to,” Can- non said. “And there is nothing there to make you want to walk there.” In addition to a series of traffic treatments at Columbia and Fur- man streets, meant to simplify the off- and on-ramps to the Brook- lyn-Queens Expressway, the consultants have also suggested the city OUR CHILD IS create aesthetic enhancements to the BQE bridge over Atlantic Av- Y enue to attract pedestrians’ eyes west. At Boerum Place, Cannon recommended rezoning several sites to allow bigger buildings, as an incentive to developers. The consultants have identified “key sites” that would be desirable for development on all four corners of Atlantic Avenue and Boerum Place, including the Brooklyn House of Detention and two gas stations on NO ANGEL. either side of the avenue. Civitas consultants would like to see the gas stations replaced, but acknowledged that it might not be easy. “It may not be a matter of zoning,” said consultant Robert Pauls. “It may be a matter that Mobil doesn’t want to give it up.” But a zoning change could offer enough of an incentive for developers to replace the lots. A rezoning would increase height limits to allow for 80-foot-tall buildings from a current maximum of 60 feet. In addition, consultants suggested reducing the Atlantic Avenue crosswalk at Boerum Place by two lanes and widening sidewalks — or conversely widening the median — creating opportunities for public amenities such as benches. That would have to be done by the Department of Transportation. At Flatbush Avenue, Cannon recommended a flag or signage as a “gateway statement” as well as some pedestrian connection to the Brooklyn Academy of Music and the planned Atlantic Termi- nal retail and office development at Flatbush Avenue and Hanson Place. Consultants also suggest improving the daunting crosswalk at Flatbush Avenue but acknowledged that further study would be required for specific recommendations. The planners hired Sam “Gridlock Sam” Schwartz, a traffic columnist and private consultant, to brainstorm a number of traffic enhancements, among them the addition of Muni-Meters and dedicated right-turn lanes at Hoyt Street, Nevins Street and Third Av- enue. Representatives of the DOT confirmed that if merchants agreed to such a turn lane it would consider lifting the 4 pm to 7 pm parking restriction. Schwartz also recommends that the city explore directing traffic to Schermerhorn and Livingston streets as alternative routes to the Brooklyn Bridge. A lingering issue for the study is how to implement the proposals. Certain suggestions, such as having well-lit front-window displays, not blocked by roll-down security gates at night would warm the avenue with light, and could be implemented by the merchants themselves. Others, such as some traffic recommendations, can be presented to the DOT but will likely require a lobbyist, and others, such as streetscapes, will need a fundraising entity to make the suggestions a reality. Candace Damon, president of the Atlantic Avenue Local Devel- opment Corporation (LDC), said it is hoped that most of the work will be performed by the Atlantic Avenue Leadership Conference. “There are certain other options that might be considered,” Da- mon said. “But there’s reason to be hopeful that a coalition could do See ATLANTIC on page 11

PS24-27 While Alschuler acknowledged that the final plan for Piers 6-12 would probably not look like the designs presented; he did indicate that they offered an overview of what was being considered. And Carnival Cruise Lines appeared in all of the designs. Alschuler said the EDC continues to negotiate with the company over Pier 7 and that the agency has even issued a request for proposals to select a consultant to investigate the cruise ship industry in New York City. Carnival’s plans, he added, include ships docking on either side of Pier 7 with a replacement of the existing storage shed for parking and possibly trade shows in the off-season. To identify potential tenants or owners of the piers, the Port Au- We make thority has issued a “request for expressions of interest” to take in proposals from potential tenants or owners. “There are a range of port businesses who we’ve talked to, that others have talked to, that are describing what they might do here,” Alschuler said. “And we want to hear from them.” Loss of labor Far and away the thorniest topic was the loss of jobs on the waterfront. American Stevedoring’s lease on the piers runs out in April 2004 and a cheering section of longshoremen roared their approval pet adoptione every time a speaker ripped the study. The loudest critic was Catucci. “If they want to take me out of that terminal they’re going to bury me there,” he declared.

Alschuler, however, contended that the piers American Stevedor- ing leases require more than $25 million a year in government sub- sidies to stay afloat. “As far as our losses,” Catucci fired back, “we are the only terminal in the port that has reduced our costs in the terminal the last two years and we’ll reduce it again substantially this year. So as far as us being a drag on the port, it’s not true. It’s costing them a lot more in Howland Hook. ” Going forward The consultants have decided that the pace of the study should be slowed down and the public input phase extended from the end of July to September 30. In the interim, Marilyn Gelber, executive director of the Indepen- dence Community Foundation, and Kenneth Adams, president of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, will head a “community working group” comprised of representatives of community organizations, business groups and elected officials to solicit additional community input. Among the interests to be heard Wednesday night were residents’ ongoing concerns for traffic and housing. David Mackenzie, a resident of Columbia Street, said any uses that stand to increase traffic, threaten the older homes, which already rattle with every passing truck. “What we’re trying to do is balance the traffic burden with the need to create jobs,” Alschuler said.
