DOT initiated a conceptual design study for three short blocks of Willoughby and Pearl Streets in the heart of Downtown Brooklyn. The purpose of the study was to reimagine the project area in a way that could leverage its key location in the Downtown Brooklyn central business district and to better support current and future street users and surrounding land uses. DOT hired a multi-disciplinary consultant team to evaluate existing conditions, research precedents, to develop a design concept and contribute to a robust outreach process with local stakeholders. The conceptual design process established a Stakeholder Committee which consisted of city agencies, elected officials, adjacent property owners and institutions and others. Stakeholder Committee meetings were complemented by a Public Open House held in October 2014.
