The City's Latest Proposals to 'Reimagine' the BQE

The Brian Lehrer Show | Mar 3, 2023

The New York City Department of Transportation has three new design concepts for what Mayor Adams calls a "reimagined BQE Central," referring to the notorious corridor of the Brooklyn-Queens-Expressway that houses the triple cantilever. These new designs aim to connect the community to the waterfront and improve public space. But will the reimagined BQE Central be a two-lane highway or a three-lane highway? Meera Joshi, NYC deputy mayor for operations, walks us through these proposals and tells us what's next for the beleaguered expressway.

Be alert for scams. WNYC never asks for nor accepts money for coverage or interviews. Anyone making such a request does not represent WNYC.
