Great to see these improvements coming to Downtown Brooklyn! Investing in new and existing public spaces, vibrant streets, and in bike + pedestrian safety are key to the growth and recovery of the Central Business District — an important objective of our Eds and Meds Framework.
Downtown Brooklyn will get a $40 million pedestrian-friendly makeover that will bring new public spaces and street safety improvements to the area, Mayor Eric Adams announced on Thursday. bit.ly/3pZYFzl

Thanks for visiting our Civic Engagement Studio today, @JamesRojas! As he shared with us: "Planning is about tapping into emotions and senses. Designing meaningful places requires listening to and learning from memories and experiences."

We loved meeting young New Yorkers yesterday at the 175th anniversary of the High Bridge, NYC's oldest standing bridge which connects Manhattan and the Bronx—a great opportunity to plan with the next generation while celebrating the past. 📷@NYCDOT
