WXY Unveils a Vision for a Verdant Reclamation of New York City's BQE, and Other News

WXY Architecture + Urban Design, in collaboration with the New York City Department of Transportation, has proposed a bold reimagining of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway—believed by many to be a scar on the urban landscape —to reconnect neighborhoods and prioritize sustainability. The plan introduces green caps, pedestrian pathways, and stormwater gardens while integrating safer street design and expanded public transit access. Shaped by extensive community input, the vision seeks to transform the 11-mile corridor into a greener, more livable urban space.
