Brooklyn - Broadway Junction Station City Map Amendment

Negative Declaration

Kings County - The New York City Parks and Recreation, as lead agency, has determined that the proposed Broadway Junction Station City Map Amendment will not have a significant adverse environmental impact. The action involves improvements that will facilitate accessibility in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to the Station, provide new entry and egress points, and provide more efficient passenger circulation throughout the station complex. In connection with the proposed project, an approximately 9,616 square foot portion of parkland within Block 1546, Lot 1 at the Callahan-Kelly Playground (Brooklyn Block 1545, Lot 1 and Block 1546, Lot 1) would be eliminated to facilitate the expansion of the Station headhouse facility. The portion of Sackman Street that would be eliminated is approximately 11,000 square foot. It currently bisects Callahan-Kelly Playground, which adjoins Sackman Street at this location to the east and west. This area would also be established as new parkland on the City Map as part of the Callahan-Kelly Playground. The establishment of new parkland at this location will serve as replacement dedicated parkland, which is required in connection with the elimination of portions of Callahan-Kelly Playground where the proposed project will take place. The project is located at 830 Fifth Avenue, at both the Broadway Junction Subway Station Complex and Callahan-Kelly Playground, in the Brownsville - East New York neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York.
