8 Connecting Tillary Overview: Current Conditions: Opportunity: Commodore Barry Park is an active park that supports many community activities and events. It is home to the Brooklyn Pit Bulls, a youth football team, and hosts Afropunk Festival, an annual music festival founded in Brooklyn (2005). While the eastern portion of the park has seen improvements in recent years, there are still needs for improvement within and surrounding the park that have not been met. South of the park, Navy Street is a key north-south corridor that connects community residents to parks, schools, and public transit. High fences through this corridor create the feeling of disconnected pedestrian pathways. Navy St intersects with Tillary St / Park Ave at a traffic dominated, major Brooklyn Queens Expressway interchange that has many difficult crossings for pedestrians and cyclists. This interchange presents a neighborhood challenge by leaving streets lined with blank ramp walls instead of active frontages for local amenities and community facilities. Cars are parked and stored illegally on the city-owned open space. There is an opportunity to reconfigure the ramps of this BQE interchange to remove the large physical barriers that further separate neighborhoods. Additionally, adding park lighting, improving the sports field, adding stadium lighting, and improving ADA access to the park are among the needed park improvements. In particular, there is potential to create a more usable and accessible park edge along Navy St. Any changes in programming that may come with these improvements would be discussed with the community.
