For the next four months (March 28, 2016 – July 28, 2016) eastbound traffic will be suspended on Myrtle Avenue between Washington and Classon Avenues. This will allow the next phase of the Myrtle Avenue Plaza project to be completed. This eastbound reroute will include a B54 bus route; click here for the latest MTA communication on planned service changes. During this month period:

• The B54  will turn right off of Myrtle Avenue onto Washington, travel down Willoughby and return to Myrtle Avenue at Classon Avenue. MTA will be placing  temporary bus stops at the southwest corner of Myrtle and Washington and at the southwest corner of Willoughby and Classon.

• All other eastbound vehicular traffic will detour right at Hall Street.

We understand that the altered traffic patterns could be a major inconvenience to passengers, residents and vehicles relying on the convenience of bus travel and our Myrtle Avenue businesses that rely on customers being able to more easily get to you. The Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership will be launching an eye-catching marketing street campaign that will specifically ask residents & visitors to supporting the businesses located between Hall & Classon during this critical time. DDC assures us that this reroute should not last longer than the end of July and as always, as soon as we hear any updates, we will this information to you as soon as possible.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to DDC’s community liaison with any concerns, Chris Fields at myrtleplazaccl@gmail.com.
