It’s an issue that will redefine our city’s transportation, real estate values, public health and a host of other factors. The planning process for the rehabilitation of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway has taken another turn. The city recently put together a panel of 16 experts to finally bring a measure of urban planning to what has been a chaotic, whiplash-inducing process.In this week's episode we'll be speaking with the panel’s chairman Carlo Scissura, as well as our reporter Mary Frost to talk about a rousing town hall held last week that discussed the issue. Organizer Hilary Jager from a Better Way NYC and Richard Zeigler from the Brooklyn Heights Association will also come on. Interview with Carlo Scissura at 1:30Interview with Mary Frost at 5:18Interview with Hilary Jager at 9:40Interview with Richard Zeigler at 11:23Our host Lawrence Madsen is a native New Yorker.

It seems like every week there’s a new proposal to fix the crumbling Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. The most recent plan would turn the triple cantilever into cliffs of parkland over Brooklyn Bridge Park. We’ll be hearing from Mark Baker, the man behind the idea, plus New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer will be coming on the show as well. He, too, put forth an idea last week to look to the future and turn the BQE into a greenspace. Lastly, our reporter Mary Frost will put it all into context.

The ongoing saga surrounding the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway rehab plan is going to be continuing for some time, so we’re dedicated to keeping you up to speed with the issue. This week, we’re going to be looking into the feasibility of a cross Downtown Brooklyn tunnel to replace part of the highway. We’ll be talking with Roy Sloane, who first thought to dig the tunnel, and Mary Frost, who’s been reporting on the issue in the community extensively. We’ll also hear about the Department of Transportation’s position on it and that of community organizers. Interview with Mary Frost at 1:08Interview with Roy Sloane at 11:21
The city’s proposal to turn the Brooklyn Heights Promenade into a six-lane speedway in order to repair the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway’s crumbling triple cantilever could undermine decades-old local and federal landmark laws put in place following the destruction of the old Penn Station, a private preservationist argued on the latest episode of Brooklyn Paper Radio.
The first story this podcast covered was the city Department of Transportation’s proposal to replace the Brooklyn Heights Promenade with a six-lane highway to fix the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, or BQE. It’s been four months since the announcement. Community activists have continued to push on the city and local representatives to save the promenade, the mayor backed the DOT’s proposal, hundreds of people took to the promenade in protest, an environmental study could reveal toxic air pollutants headed to the Heights, and new renderings show the highway would likely soar over part of the Brooklyn Bridge walkway for years. The plan is still on the table, despite heavy opposition, so this week we’ll be devoting our entire episode to bringing you up to speed with the issue.
