No special zoning is needed to get this project of the ground"According to Brian Hanson, who brokered the $20 million sale of the property, the zoning is as-of-right whether the square footage is 335,000 or 240,000, so no variances will be needed. Given the current zoning and FAR for the area, it can be up to 340,000 square footage, all commercial or a mixture of residential and commercial." This is a good thing for commuters and the MTA as it will give shoppers along the brighton and other subway lines a closer shopping experience. The new road lines up with the belt parkway exit and there is room between the current shore parkway and the highway to add new traffic lanes. the on ramp onto the belt will need to be improved This would also make my plan to loop the west end and the brighton trains more worthwhile. I have written the mayors office. Make some west end trains pass through Stillwell and onto the brighton back to manhattan and brighton trains loop through stillwell up the west end line. this would take traffic off the road and give fast interborough commutes to west end and brighton riders. Taking an hour long b4 ride to sheepshead from bensonhurst keeps me in my car |
