Renovations Enhance Boro Park's 13th Ave Neighborhood

By Idy Perl

Over the weekend, Boro Park residents witnessed a flurry of activity as numerous corners along 13th Ave underwent renovation. This extensive revitalization effort is part of a larger project aimed at enhancing the pedestrian experience and elevating the overall aesthetic appeal of the area.

Using high definition, street level imagery and ground-based LiDAR technology, as of 2019, the city has surveyed 217,678 pedestrian ramps, and the Pedestrian Ramp Program focuses on installing and upgrading pedestrian ramps throughout the five boroughs. 

As reported here, in a statement provided exclusively to BoroPark24, the NYC Department of Transportation said, “NYC DOT is committed to building a safe and accessible city. There are thousands of new pedestrian ramps installed across the five boroughs each year and NYC DOT has been working to increase pedestrian ramp upgrades and installations throughout the City.”

While construction is underway, residents are advised to exercise caution and patience, as temporary inconveniences may arise.
