| Click for full sized map |
This corridor runs east-west directly through the center of Brooklyn, and crosses the Prospect Expressway, Flatbush Avenue, Utica Avenue, and other points east. It is characterized by a mix of residential, commercial, and retail land uses, and has very high pedestrian volumes, especially on weekends. The area between East 15th Street and Flatbush Avenue is narrow and has significant retail activity resulting in vehicular and pedestrian congestion.
Church Avenue is a through and local truck route in different areas, and is heavily used by trucks going to other destinations, such as JFK airport. The B35 bus provides both local and "limited" service, and several express bus routes use at least a portion of the corridor. There are subway stations at McDonald Avenue (F) and at East 18th Street (B/Q), which generate bus/subway transfers. The corridor is also served by the nearby 2 and 5 subway lines.
