Add sidewalk closures to the list of ways we’re [being impacted](/blog/2015/09/14/water-service-will-be-cut-on-and-off-again-this-week-on-myrtle-avenue/) by construction and new development along Myrtle Avenue.

The sidewalk between 490 and 504 Myrtle Avenue will be closed \*\*for the next FOUR months\*\* due to [construction at 504 Myrtle](/blog/2015/06/17/two-stories-added-to-building-at-504-myrtle-avenue-that-will-replace-pratt-station-post-office/), reported the Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership (MARP) [on their blog](http://myrtleavenue.org/construction-sidewalk-closure/?ref=bklyner.com). The walkway is in the middle of the south side of the block and sits opposite Ryerson Street.

This means that anyone — seniors and students alike — coming to Myrtle Avenue from the Willoughby Walk Co-ops and Pratt Institute will have to come around via Hall Street or Grand Avenue.

Hopefully the detour won’t last longer than estimated — and hopefully spring and warmer weather will come sooner rather than later.
