Department of Transportation made the following suggestions for traffic calming on Cropsey Avenue at the CB 11 Transportation Committee meeting on Wednesday, April 26:

Where: Cropsey Avenue from Bay Parkway to 26th Avenue.

What:

  • DOT will install two pedestrian refuge islands:
  • ten expanded median tips,
  • a bus-boarding island between 24th Avenue and Bay 37th Street,
  • painted pedestrian space on Harway Avenue between Bay 37th Street, and Bay 38th Street,
  • wide parking lane stripes, and channelization along the existing median.

Why: To shorten crossing distance on Cropsey Ave, better organize traffic, discourage speeding, improve bus operations, and improve safety for all road users.
