Economic Development
The public investment provided for in this plan would
act as a catalyst to generate an estimated 4.5 million
square feet of new commercial office space, creating 18,500
office jobs and 8,000 construction jobs. It would add
some 1,000 new housing units and result in the addition
of new, vibrant public spaces and cultural resources.
Traffic and Parking
The city is funding a separate, long-term comprehensive
transportation blueprint: a traffic and parking analysis
of Downtown Brooklyn and surrounding areas. This effort
would enable communities and elected officials to participate
in the transportation planning process. In addition,
a senior staff position at the Department of Transportation
will be created to improve traffic conditions in Downtown
Brooklyn.
