NYCEDC Celebrates Advancement of Broadway Junction Public Realm Investments as Project Enters into ULURP
BROOKLYN, NY—New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) today entered the City’s Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) for its work in Broadway Junction – starting the next phase in creating two public plazas totaling nearly one acre of new open space around the major transit hub. Paired with the release of two RFPs for the design of a new gateway plaza at the Broadway Junction Station entrance and streetscape improvements along Broadway and Van Sinderen Avenue, the progress of these actions brings the public realm projects announced by NYCEDC in 2023 closer to fruition. NYCEDC’s public realm projects are part of $110 million city investment and $20 million federal grant, aiming to activate underutilized public spaces around the subway complex, improve street safety and access to transit, and create new open space.
“This is a tremendous step forward in our goals to invest in East Brooklyn’s economic development potential and create quality of life improvements for residents and visitors alike,” said NYCEDC President & CEO Andrew Kimball. “Investments like these—in transit related infrastructure and public realm—can have a profound impact on local economies and brings us one step closer to creating neighborhoods where New Yorkers can live, work, learn, and play.”
