Based on public input, a presentation was made to the Community Board 2 executive board, which endorsed the project on July 22, The project design will be submitted and presented to the Landmarks Preservation Commission in September The proposed project will connect to the entrance of Shirley Chisholm Park, which is scheduled to open in The project will also addresses community safety concerns by calming traffic, organizing vehicular movements on the roadway, improving pedestrian safety, and providing a protected bicycle connection from the park to residential areas.
Safety improvements include median tip extensions, concrete curb extensions, painted curb extensions, and safer, simpler intersections. These improvements are intended to calm traffic, improve pedestrian connections, and keep children safe on their route to school. Community District 15 is a Priority Bicycle District with a high number of cyclists killed or severely injured combined with a low density of bicycle network coverage.
Improvements include a new two-way parking-protected bicycle path, shortened pedestrian crossing distances with painted islands and a concrete curb extension, and better traffic organization and alignment with turn bays and signal timing updates. This proposal will maintain traffic capacity and parking spaces, while increasing safety for all road users. It will also create a critical connection to the Jamaica Bay Greenway, the mile recreational path that connects cyclists and joggers to 10, acres of parks and beaches and which is used by , people per year.
Once implemented it will extend the greenway experience into the neighborhood, provide comfortable space for cyclists of all ages and experience levels, and reduce conflicts between cyclists, pedestrians, and vehicles.
Empire Blvd is being redesigned to improve pedestrian safety, create new public space and to optimize traffic circulation. The proposal includes new pedestrian space to create safer, shorter pedestrian crossings, new concrete to slow vehicle speeds and prevent illegal turns, dedicated space for buses for improved bus service and traffic calming, and new signal phasing that prioritizes both buses and pedestrians.
To improve pedestrian and bicycle safety, NYC DOT is proposing to upgrade the existing westbound buffered bike lane on Fort Hamilton Parkway with a two-way protected bike lane. On the overpass between Park Circle and East 5th Street the existing barrier-protected lane will be widened to accommodate two-way bicycle traffic. Between East 5th Street and McDonald Avenue, the existing bike lane on the north side Fort Hamilton Parkway will be upgraded to a parking-protected bike lane on the south side of the street.
New pedestrian islands will shorten crossing distances and slow turning vehicles to improve safety for people crossing the street. At McDonald Avenue, new LPIs and protected pedestrian phases will provide safer opportunities to cross at a busy intersection.
West of McDonald Avenue, a two-way barrier protected bike lane will lead to new bike ramps connecting to Dahill Road. The changes will reduce wrong way and sidewalk riding by providing a safe, direct route to Prospect Park.
Construction is expected to begin in Fall , reconstructing the south bound portion of the roadway to encompass additional pedestrian amenities and a protected two-way bike path. Signs direct northbound and southbound passenger vehicles to use alternative routes, and Bus and Truck Only pavement markings were installed. The primary goal of the project is to reduce congestion and improve bus speeds and reliability, benefitting passengers using seven bus routes to access Downtown Brooklyn from many parts of the Borough.
This Vision Zero project proposes corridor-wide median tip extensions, markings upgrades, and dedicated left turn signals, and ADA-compliant bus boarding islands at Avenue H and Church Avenue. This proposal aims to provide safer, shorter pedestrian crossings, roadway organization, safer left turns for drivers and pedestrians, and accessible bus stops. On Livonia Avenue opposite Thatford Avenue and Osborn Street painted curb extensions and an expanded more accessible concrete median are proposed, while at the intersections of Strauss Street and Powell Street raised crosswalks and concrete curb extensions are proposed.
This proposal aims to provide safer, shorter pedestrian crossings, expanded pedestrian network, traffic calming, and increased accessibility. This project includes new high visibility crosswalk, daylighting and yield to pedestrian signage on Lorimer Street. ADA-compliant pedestrian ramps will be constructed at the Enhanced Crossing.
As a pilot program, yield to pedestrian signage will be installed in the middle of the roadway. Improvements include installing 4 painted neckdowns to shorten crossing distances, crosswalk realignments, and hardening the yellow centerline on Marine Ave at 3rd Ave to calm turns. This Vision Zero project will install two painted curb extensions and add three missing crosswalks to the intersection.
This proposal aims to increase safety at this intersection for all users by providing safer, shorter pedestrian crossings, slowing vehicle turns, and expanding the pedestrian network. The proposal includes installation of standard width moving lanes, a flush median, wide parking lanes, and reducing moving lanes in some areas.
This project is meant to address speeding on the corridor as well as create safer pedestrian crossings and clarify vehicle movements.
We have a plan that reconfigures the area under the BQE to allow for space specifically designated for bicycles, pedestrians and paid parking. The project includes the installation of gravel curb extensions at 7 intersections along the corridor and marking 9 new crosswalks at 7 intersections on the corridor.
This project also reroutes vehicles and provides additional safety improvements around the complex transit hub at Myrtle Ave and Broadway. These improvements will improve safety on the corridor by providing clear, marked crossings for pedestrians that match existing behavior, shortening crossing distances, and providing clarity for all users on the corridor on how to interact with elevated train columns.
Implemented in interim materials in , Myrtle-Wyckoff Plaza has become a huge success and an asset to the community. Together NYC DOT and DDC have developed a preliminary design for the plaza including more space for in ground plantings, more lighting, and new plaza amenities while maintaining the safety benefits. This improvement will ensure that the connection between the Manhattan Bridge and the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway will be a continuous protected lane all the way to Greenpoint.
NYC DOT is conducting community outreach to better understand how Open Streets across North Brooklyn are used, and how the community wants to see these corridors used in the future.
This School Safety, Vision Zero project aims to improve safety for school-aged pedestrians and cyclists along the Nostrand Avenue corridor. Safety improvements include a flush median, turn bays, painted curb extensions, a painted slip lane closure, and safer, simpler intersections.
Improvements include expanding the sidewalk width along the bus stop, building a bus stop waiting area with pedestrian ramps, improving drainage, and enhancing the streetscape with new trees, greenery, and street furniture. The project proposes a reconfiguration of lane markings and updated destination signage. The proposal aims to alleviate traffic congestion, clarify and organize traffic movements and reduce conflicts between vehicles.
The corridor will ultimately form a network of protected bike lanes bordering Prospect Park along with Flatbush Avenue, Prospect Park West, and the bike lane in development on Ocean Avenue. Pedestrian islands will shorten crossing distances to improve safety while maintaining traffic capacity of the street.
NYC DOT is conducting community outreach to better understand how Open Streets in Prospect Heights are used, and how the community wants to see these corridors used in the future. The project will include the removal of one travel lane in each direction on segments of the corridor where it is feasible. This design will include the installation of painted curb extensions at Flatbush Avenue, new signal timing and a dedicated southbound left turn lane at Remsen Avenue and Glenwood Road.
In addition, the design will include bike lanes along the corridor. These safety improvements will work to address safety at the Vision Zero intersection on Flatlands Avenue and Remsen Avenue, discourage the observed speeding along the corridor, provide safer pedestrian crossings and organize the roadway for vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians.
This Vision Zero complete streets project will convert Seventh and Eighth Avenues into one-way pairs and install Protected Bike Lanes, expand pedestrian space, and provide improved curbside management. This proposal aims to increase safety on a Vision Zero Priority Corridor as well as improve mobility for all roadway users along the corridors. Times Plaza was expanded in asphalt following the development of Barclays Center and is now slated to be redesigned to create an enhanced, permanent public space.
This project combines offset and curbside bus lanes, similar to those on First Avenue to Third Avenue, that provide adjacent general travel lanes. Buses, commercial trucks, and local access for private vehicles would be permitted. The interactive map below visualizes all of them based on their prior country of residence. The brightness of a country corresponds to its total migration to the U. Toward the end of the century, countries further east in Europe Italy, Russia, Hungary took over as the largest source of migration.
And the last few decades have seen a rise in migration from Asia. While it may seem that immigration over the last few decades has been higher than ever before, the picture looks very different when viewed relative to the size of the U. Here is the same chart, with the immigration shown as a percentage of the U. Of my four grandparents, one is of Japanese descent, two are from Europe a Polish Jew and an Italian Catholic , and one is native American. So genealogy and immigration flows have long been fascinations of mine.
What I think is particularly interesting about immigration to the U. Jews escaping Russia after the May Laws were enacted, the Cuban Revolution or major economic troubles e. If you would like to read more about what caused each of these groups to come to the U. If you liked this map, sign up to be notified of new Metrocosm posts.
My latest project, Elementus , aims to bring transparency to the cryptocurrency market. Check out our blog for some crypto-related data visualizations. I think the map is cool but without that it gives an incomplete picture of the American fabric. There were immigration waves from countries not listed, such as Latin American countries or Scandinavian countries. For example, Finland is not broken out separately. Africa is included.
Though most countries are not broken out separately. Africa immigration is included, Slavery is not. Like Rex said, importation of enslaved was prior to Although illegal slavery still occurred.
Shit happens. Long time ago. Long time since the blacks enslaved their own people too. Or the fact that the first feed black slave… Bought slaves!!!! Won the right to keep his slave that wanted out saying his debt wa s relpayed so his black owner took him to court and won him.
He set the precedent for his own race. Maybe about the enslavement of the white Irish by the Jamacians who took them and forced them to work on their plantations. Just one race and their ancestors enslavement. We fought a civil war to end the horrors of human bondage. Indentures were not slaves; they were contracted labor. The indenture contracts survive in the archives of many state repositories. I doubt it. Many indetures arrived as immigrants some from Scotland as prisoners others, from their native lands, and arrived as freemen.
Slaves were forced onto ships of transport as property and cargo; there were no contracts, they were OWNED and sold as as property at auctions. There were no indenture auctions. An indenture could run away and stay gone, and would not face a death penalty or be hunted by slavers.
