""Families from across the city walk and bike to Brooklyn's backyard, and with so much foot traffic, the park's adjacent streets must be calm and focused on people.""
""The Ocean Avenue work is part of a broader push to expand bike-friendly streets around Prospect Park.""
Construction on a two-way protected bike path along Ocean Avenue will begin, linking Parkside Avenue to Empire Boulevard. The $15.5 million project aims to improve safety for cyclists by separating them from motor traffic. A new pedestrian plaza will honor U.S. Rep. Shirley Chisholm, and nearby facilities will be upgraded. Sidewalks will be widened, crossing distances shortened, and pedestrian islands installed. This initiative is part of a broader effort to create bike-friendly streets around Prospect Park, with completion expected by fall 2027.
