Creation
of Public Spaces
The city is committing scarce public resources to develop
open space that will attract new development and create
an attractive downtown environment for workers, residents
and visitors. These spaces will enhance the corporate
addresses for new development just as the Channel Gardens
at Rockefeller Center did decades ago.
Willoughby Square is proposed south of MetroTech to
establish a corporate address for the new commercial
office buildings and to provide an attractive environment
for evening and weekend use by residents and employees.
The space would include cafes, restaurants and new retail
establishments.
A triangular park is proposed on Flatbush Avenue Extension
at the entrance to Willoughby Street. This park will
provide a gateway from the Fort Greene community to
Willoughby Square and the new commercial core office
buildings.
