Grand Army Plaza 2.0

In honor of yesterday’s ceremony marking the completion of the Grand Army Plaza redesign, here’s a picture via The Smoking Nun of what appears to be a 1940s era GAP.

The new design is really great, and I’ve used the bike lanes around the circle quite a few times.  They make Prospect Heights and Vanderbilt Avenue seem so much closer now since the task of reaching the neighborhood from Prospect Park West is much less daunting.  Congratulations to all of the political and civic leaders and organizations who saw this process through all the way from 2006.
