BROWNSVILLE PUBLIC SPACE VISION PLAN

The Pitkin Avenue BID holds a bold new vision for the evolution of the Pitkin Avenue Corridor and Public Spaces in Brownsville.

Now is the time to transform public spaces in Brownsville, Brooklyn into vibrant, inclusive destinations that reflect the neighborhood’s rich history, culture, and spirit.


Key Principles of Our Vision

  • Leveraging Pitkin Avenue’s high foot traffic and strong community networks to activate public spaces through targeted programming and capital improvements.

  • Encouraging intergenerational connection, increasing access to arts and wellness activities, enhancing public safety, and supporting local economic development.

  • Key interventions centered on Zion Triangle and adjacent NYCHA cul-de-sacs at Herzl, Thatford, and Osborn Streets, which are reimagined as connected, localized hubs of activity
