Join us to walk under the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway from Cough Triangle to Sunset Park and physically experience a section of the BQE South corridor. We will be joined by special guests, including neighbors from the community and experts, who will share their knowledge about the BQE. Additionally, participants will enjoy interactive activities to better understand the impact of the BQE and to inspire its transformation.

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.
