Reply to comment by LiterallyBismarck in Burying Moses' biggest middle finger to the city? Plan to tunnel the BQE being discussed by scooterflaneuse

They don't have highways circling the city?

The BQE doesn't circle the city, it goes right through the heart of downtown Brooklyn.

I mean it doesn't go through downtown Brooklyn...only bisects Williamsburg and Greenpoint.

I don't know what your definition of "downtown Brooklyn" is, but when I look on Google Maps, the BQE next to the Manhattan Bridge is literally a block away from the "Downtown Brooklyn" bridge, and it basically divides Dumbo from the rest of Brooklyn. I'm struggling to imagine what you think would qualify as going through downtown Brooklyn, if you don't think this counts.
