Construction will begin in July of three new landscaped islands, five new crosswalks, and a new bike lane at Grand Army Plaza. The project is the result of over a year of effort by the Grand Army Plaza Coalition (of which PHNDC is a member) working with Brooklyn DOT, and construction is expected to take four months. A travel lane on Eastern Parkway will be removed, as will a lane east of the Soliders and Sailors Memorial Arch.
