Bike lanes and median enhancements coming to Vanderbilt Avenue
Vanderbilt Avenue is the main street of Prospect Heights. Two years ago, PHNDC worked with the Brooklyn Borough President, Councilmember Letitia James, Community Board 8, and Brooklyn DOT to calm traffic on the avenue by creating medians and left turn bays. The improvements resulted in slower auto speeds, fewer accidents involving bicyclists and pedestrians, and more use of Vanderbilt Avenue by cyclists.
