The plan is to tighten the traffic lanes and create a dedicated bicycle and bridle path around the periphery. In addition, new pedestrian crossings will be added so that street-level crossing is more direct and intuitive. Better traffic timing and improved signage should calm traffic in the circle and make it safer for everyone.<\/p>\n
DOT wants to start work on this in September, 2009. Community Board 7 passed a resolution unanimously in favor of the changes at the June 17th meeting.<\/p>\n
