We’re excited that the NYC Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) wants to fix the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE) in Brooklyn and is committed to working with communities along the BQE to set a shared vision for this project.

Currently, communities divided by the BQE experience increased noise and air pollution, while also having limited access to jobs and other important resources.

We support this effort to reconnect communities divided by the BQE, which starts with us coming together to shape the future of this transit corridor.

Help shape the future of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway! Join for a multisensory walking tour of the BQE Corridor and provide feeback.
