The Public Weighs In http://www.streetsblog.org/2010/02/08/what-should-happen-at-myrtle-avenues-new-plaza-the-public-weighs-in/ Covering the New York City Streets Renaissance Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:07:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: David_K http://www.streetsblog.org/2010/02/08/what-should-happen-at-myrtle-avenues-new-plaza-the-public-weighs-in/comment-page-1/#comment-199931 David_K Wed, 10 Feb 2010 16:35:15 +0000 http://www.streetsblog.org/?p=145331#comment-199931 That service road is a clusterf*#%k, mostly because of the Associated Grocery store and because people feel the need to drive their lazy asses to Bergen Bagels. Glad to see it's getting a makeover. I favor any design that would add some trees and make that place a pleasant place to walk through or hang out in.

Wrought-iron fence, 3-5 gated entrances, trees and undergrowth; a brick or hex-block path running through it; benches. All of these designs look both awful and expensive.
