Major entrance on Atlantic Avenue envisioned to boost Brooklyn park
The plan calls for a major Atlantic Avenue entrance to unlock economic potential of the avenue and bring the park 175 feet closer to residents. It would relieve Brooklyn Heights by routing primary ingress on a busy street and cut dangerous crossing lanes for parkgoers. Pier 6 upland offers rare space to grow large trees for shade and questions retainment of land sale timing for financial prudence.
