Jackson Avenue from Vision to Reality
A while back the city announced that they were moving forward with the Jackson Avenue Beautification project. Jackson Avenue would have these beautiful deviders with Trees, plants & sculptures similar to Park Avenue, the sidewalks would be wider, more trees and pathways would be added in addition to bikelanes, benches and Street Lights, making Jackson Avenue more pedestrian friendly. Well that time has come, things are really picking up and you can now see the changes occuring, i walk to work everyday and i see a new devider being installed or sidewalks being expanded. Along the Court Square area, they have already expanded some parts of the sidewalks by about 2 feet, a new island has been created near Citi Bank and Sovereign Bank, walk up Jackson Avenue and you will see around 30-40 new bases for street lights, they have also started created sidewalk islands for trees as well as a new bus stop along Jackson & Court Square , The deviders are quite nice, there are already three in progress with a couple that is already filled with soil, the first one ironically was constructed along the block of Dutch Kills, (wonder if Sasha had any pull with the city) They have also added an island and trees along the Pulaski Bridge, this along with the 1.5 acre park in Queens Plaza is really changing the profile of this part of town. completion is scheduled to be complete by September 2010… But it looks like the Court Square and Jackson Avenue is about to give Hunters Point a run for there money…
