Brooklyn Bridge Gateway: Tillary/Adams Street Area Reconstruction

The gateway to Brooklyn from the historic Brooklyn Bridge will soon be redesigned as part of a capital reconstruction project, anticipated to take place in 2012 with a multi-million dollar budget, encompassing all of Tillary Street and portions of Adams Street. DOT is currently soliciting public input on the design and function of this vital gateway.

This project builds on the work of the Downtown Brooklyn Traffic Calming report as well as recent short-term improvements including 2008 modifications to the bridge entrance. DOT has released the results of its analysis of these modifications, you can read them here.

On January 27, 2009, DOT held a public workshop, attended by approximately 60 people, to begin collecting input for the project.
