Architectural

As part of an initiative through NYC Non Profit, Transportation Alternatives, for a safer intersection at Flatbush and Atlantic Ave. in Downtown brooklyn, I redesigned the traffic lanes favoring pedestrian safety as a result of my team’s “asks” for NYC DOT. This design was handed over to DOT at a community design workshop and considered in their final re-design of the most dangerous intersection in all of Brooklyn. It incorporates aspects of “interim urban design” or “placemaking” in the form of potted shad trees and painted lines in order to test the subtraction of traffic lanes. We also set up pop up events to encourage this interim use.
