City agency reveals proposal to
overhaul Gravesend roadway
BY AIDAN GRAHAM
City transportation gurus offi cially unveiled
plans to redesign a dangerous roadway
in Gravesend at a May 22 Community
Board 13 meeting.
The city Department of Transportation
presented the proposal to overhaul a halfmile
stretch of Cropsey Avenue, between
26th Avenue and Bay 50th Street, where 114
people have been injured over a fi ve-year period
from 2013 to 2017, according to department
statistics.
The project would shorten pedestrian
crosswalks, formalize traffi c lanes, and redesign
turning infrastructure throughout the
eight-block stretch in an effort to promote better
traffi c fl ow and increase safety, according
to the department.
Currently, pedestrians travel 90 feet to
cross Cropsey Avenue, often with limited
crosswalk markings, leading to hazardous
conditions on the car-dense roadway.
To foster safer foot traffi c, the department
plan calls for construction of high visibility
walkways with a protected island in
the middle of the crosswalk area, offering
refuge to pedestrians halfway through the
wide street.
The plan would also narrow traffi c lanes
on the avenue by widening the mid-road divider
— which currently houses a narrow
row of trees and traffi c lights — by 10 feet.
The expanded divider would create a quasi
sidewalk in the middle of the road, while
reducing the car roadway from 40 feet to 35
feet in either direction, which the department
hopes will discourage speeding.
The department proposal also calls for
elimination of some parking spaces to dedicate
proper traffi c lanes for cars attempting
to turn onto Cropsey Avenue, which they
say would better organize and facilitate
traffi c movement.
Community Board 13 transportation
reps will vote on the plan at a June 12 subcommittee
meeting, before the full board
decides whether to give their blessing on
June 26.
If approved, construction would begin in
early 2020.
