The City Council approved the Atlantic Avenue Mixed-Use Plan rezoning to transform a one-mile section of Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn into a higher-density mixed-use corridor. The plan replaces existing M1-2 and R6B zoning with contextual R8A manufacturing and residential districts, enabling approximately 4,600 new housing units, including over 1,400 permanently affordable units under Mandatory Inclusionary Housing. It preserves light industrial uses through contextual districts while allowing new residential and commercial development on underutilized lots. Accompanying the rezoning, the council secured commitments for public realm improvements: sidewalk expansions, a road diet with protected bike lanes, modular bus boarding islands, daylighted intersections, new street trees, and the redesign of cross streets as bike boulevards. These changes aim to enhance safety, improve transit access, and create new public open spaces on a corridor that had become one of the city’s most dangerous thoroughfares.
