Brooklyn’s Grand Army Plaza as it’s used today is difficult to walk and drive around, and is generally not very user-friendly. The Design Trust for Public Space recently sponsored a design competition called "Reinventing Grand Army Plaza" and has announced the winning entries.

Deborah Marton is executive director of the Design Trust for Public Space; and Shin-pei Tsay of Transportation Alternatives submitted a design called "A Parade for Brooklyn: Cultivating Local Flavor for Grand Army Plaza." Submissions are on display in Grand Army Plaza through Oct. 13.
