We applaud the Design Trust for their cool new Under the Elevated/El Space Pilot under the BQE highway at 36th Street in Gowanus, Brooklyn. The pilot installation in Sunset Park features a brighter and safer 'el-space' with new systems for green infrastructure, better lighting, and an improved pedestrian experience and parking underneath an elevated highway. The pilot is meant to inform other potential projects under other elevated highways, rail lines, and bridges. The Design Trust is helping to bring vibrancy and increased safety in these usually forgotten spaces.
