Treat areas at gateways into Brooklyn, such as off the Brooklyn Bridge pedestrian and bicycle path, with signage, special lighting, sculpture, paving, landscaping, etc. to provide an aesthetic and informative welcome to the borough.
Create plazas for casual gathering where possible with landscaping, seating and tables. Focal elements, such as sculpture or fountains, would provide visual interest and provide neighborhood landmarks. The edges between plazas and sidewalks should be defined with a row of trees to separate pedestrians moving through the space from those sitting in the plazas.
