The Brooklyn Paper, as usual, chock full of interesting news, has a story about plans to fix the big- time traffic problems at Grand Army Plaza. Here’s an excerpt from Chris Cascarano’s story. Go to BP for the rest of the story and a map.

Grand Army Plaza could be transformed from an intimidating,
speeder-friendly highway in the center of Brooklyn to a calmer traffic
circle under a revolutionary plan that continues to gain speed of its
own.

At a meeting last week at the Brooklyn Public Library’s
Central branch, a citizens group presented its most fully drawn plan to
reconfigure the plaza and reconnect the landmark Soldiers’ and Sailors’
arch with the entrance to Prospect Park, creating a safe, car-free
walkway.
