Atlantic Ave has long been a Boulevard of Death, as 15+ years of campaigning by @TransAlt @TransAltBK has shown. Despite cries for change from communities and many tragedies, @NYC_DOT has done little for a safer Atlantic. Let’s #fixatlantic now! gothamist.com/news/after-10-… @s_nessen

After 10 years of Vision Zero, NYC has a new ‘Boulevard of Death’

Queens Boulevard is now a testament to the effectiveness of street safety measures. But another major thoroughfare is as dangerous as ever.

Well said, @BKBPReynoso. It’s time for @NYCMayor @NYC_DOT to stop stalling, save lives, and #fixAtlantic. @TransAltBK @KathyParkPrice

The amount of 🚙 🚗 on the sidewalks of eastern parkway and Atlantic avenue just boggles my mind. – at Brooklyn, NY

This is probably the *worst* ‘bike infrastructure’ crossing @DHFixAtlantic but TBH there are 0 *good* options. #FixVanderbiltAve is the only place I’m aware of that the #bikeNYC lane doesn’t completely disappear right when it’s most important. (Currently blocked by construction) – at Brooklyn, NY

Council Member Crystal Hudson@CMCrystalHudson29 Apr 2022
Thank you @DanGarodnick for joining me on a walk along Atlantic Avenue! We look forward to working with you and @NYCPlanning on a community-led planning process that sets a standard not just in our district, but across the City.

Great to see @NYC_DOT’s plans to not only implement Apolline’s Garden but also more comprehensive safety upgrades along Vanderbilt, Gates, and Atlantic Avenue. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

Uh I think we already tried this at Atlantic Yards and 20 years later we have little to show for it but broken promises and zero accountability. @KathyHochul I hope this same commitment is made for finishing that project, solving our homeless crisis, fixing our subways, etc.

New York taxpayers would be on the hook for $850 million in construction costs for a new Buffalo Bills stadium under a deal announced by Governor Hochul on Monday, which would make it the largest direct public subsidy for a NFL stadium in history. gothamist.com/news/ny-taxpay…

Great that a developer is thinking abt how to #fixAtlantic: It's something @NYC_DOT and @NYCPlanning have utterly failed to do, and Brooklyn’s deadliest street needs a comprehensive plan for both old and new residents NOW nyc.streetsblog.org/2022/03/… @TransAlt @StreetsblogNYC @Julcuba

“The Intersection at Atlantic and Flatbush Has Long Been Dangerous. But What Can Be Done?” Step 1: @NYC_DOT can actually commit to #fixTimesPlaza and #fixAtlantic for everyone rather than taking baby steps on our boulevard of death bkreader.com/2022/03/15/the-… @fritzed_you @TransAlt

The Intersection at Atlantic and Flatbush Has Long Been Dangerous. But What Can Be Done?

When the driver of a private trash hauler struck and killed a man at the intersection of Atlantic and Flatbush Avenues in Prospect Heights earlier this month, it was tragic — but unfortunately, it...

Mechanical lock on my door was damaged. Called a locksmith. Comes to door, sees lock &quotes me at $225. I agree. He then adds $65 service fee+taxes & charges $100 over original deal. Guess who is now going to push to pass a law for transparent pricing 4 locksmiths......this guy!

Standing in middle of #FixAtlantic Reminds how #BikeNYC is ridiculously nimble when streets are closed or detoured.

How much longer must Brooklyn wait until you unpause Phase II of #fixAtlantic, bringing needed traffic calming and #bikenyc lanes to bike priority district, a project approved and promised years ago but has yet to even begin? @NYC_DOT @ydanis @BKBPReynoso @TransAlt

Had so much fun exploring the 33rd Council District, biking with CM @LincolnRestler. We also visited the #BrooklynPromenade. Such a beautiful district. 🚲

Reading the replies here, it’s interesting that even people living in the vicinity of Atlantic Avenue, never hear what happens to the victims. These fatalities are memory-holed, papered over. That’s bad.
Jessie Singer@JessieSingerNYC6 Mar 2022
It's been two days. Neither @NYCMayor nor @NYC_DOT has said anything about the elderly New Yorker, who used a walker, killed crossing Atlantic Avenue on Friday. He was the TENTH person killed in a crash on Atlantic Avenue in JUST THE PAST YEAR.

Ten people have been killed on Atlantic Ave in the past year alone. I worked on the block for years and saw so many crashes and near misses -- it’s long been time to redesign safer street infrastructure there. This is govt negligence.
Transportation Alternatives@TransAlt4 Mar 2022
Today, a driver killed a pedestrian at the intersection of Flatbush and Atlantic — just like in 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2019. It will happen again unless our city’s leaders have the courage to act and finally redesign this street for safety. OUR STATEMENT: transalt.org/press-releases/…
