Atlantic Yards
Arena Opening Traffic Mitigation Plan
As part of the transportation improvements related to the
Atlantic Yards project, begin on or around July 15, 2011,
the following permanent changes will be made to the roadway
network:
Fourth Avenue (between Atlantic Avenue and Flatbush Avenue
only) will be converted to one-way southbound to improve
traffic flow at the Flatbush Avenue/Atlantic Avenue/Fourth
Avenue intersection. Pacific Street (between Fourth Avenue
and Flatbush Avenue only) will be reversed, changing from
one-way westbound to one-way eastbound. To accommodate this
change, a new traffic signal will be installed at the
intersection of Pacific Street and Flatbush Avenue, as will
a new crosswalk across Flatbush Avenue. Vehicles will be
able to make right or left turns onto Flatbush Avenue at
this location. This block can be accessed from both
northbound and southbound Fourth Avenue.
Fourth Avenue northbound traffic, including all commercial
vehicles, can use Third Avenue via Atlantic Avenue to access
Flatbush Avenue. Pacific Street will offer secondary access
to Flatbush Avenue. No through truck traffic will be
permitted on Pacific Street.
Please view this
Traffic Mitigation presentation
for more details, and a video animation of the new traffic
pattern below.
Advisory signs will be posted in advance of the changes and
traffic agents will be on-site to facilitate the flow of
traffic.
