Much is happening in the Tech Triangle and much to do as the Tech Triangle Coalition plans on how to foster the area as a creative, tech-oriented, digitally-plugged hub.
Convening its advisory and taskforce committees this morning, the Coalition engaged public and private stakeholders in its findings and preliminary proposals. With 50 percent of the strategic plan under their belt, Adam Lubinsky of WXY Urban Design + Architecture discussed the area’s rich amenities and opportunities, and offered policy interventions and programs that best fits the strategic plan outcomes while overcoming area-wide challenges. For real estate initiates, see: short-term leases, model units and broadband connections. For transportation, think smoother Barclays Center to Brooklyn Bridge Park connection and better east-west connectivity. Focus areas for the Tech Triangle include better bike and pedestrian corridors and transforming the way pedestrians experience space—primarily parks, plazas and interstitial areas between districts. The launch of the Brooklyn Tech Triangle Strategic Plan is anticipated for Spring 2013.
