Downtown Brooklyn Pedestrian Study
General Streetscape Recommendations

Overview | General Streetscape Recommendations | Focus Area Visions | Flatbush Avenue

General Streetscape Recommendations: • Introduction • Sidewalk Treatment • Lighting Fixtures
• Medians and Crossings • Entry Points and Plazas • Underpasses

Sidewalk Treatment
Install inexpensive, easy-to-maintain and attractive paving.	Use decorative amenity strips on major streets for organizing streetscape elements and separating pedestrians from the roadbed.
Use flat tree grates on streets with heavy pedestrian activity to avoid diminishing the walkable surface of the sidewalk.
