The effort will improve travel through the corridor by increasing the number of through-lanes on the elevated Bruckner Expressway, at-grade improvements to Bruckner Boulevard, and converting ramps between the Bruckner Expressway and Sheridan Boulevard to right-hand movements. The project will help enhance pedestrian access to the area with a modern shared used path and the replacement of a pedestrian bridge that crosses Bruckner Boulevard to improve safe access to public school PS75. Additionally, a new 117-spot parking lot with 24 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, including four rapid charge spots to better accommodate EV drivers, will be constructed under the Bruckner Expressway and help advance the region’s sustainability and air quality goals.
