The New York City Economic Development Corporation commissioned Starr Whitehouse and Kiss + Cathcart to perform this study to repair the social and environmental damage done by Robert Moses’ sunken portion of the Brooklyn Queens Expressway.

The study targets pedestrian quality of life, connections between communities that have been separated for a generation, and quality of the environment, including air quality, noise. Although guided by the City of New York, considerable community involvement is planned through a series of public workshops.
