New pedestrian plaza opens in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn

NEW YORK -- A new pedestrian plaza is now open in Brooklyn.

Department of Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez and other city officials took part in a ribbon-cutting Saturday for the new Underhill Plaza in Prospect Heights.

The pedestrian plaza is part of the city's Open Streets program.

It's the first part of a project to transform all of Underhill Avenue into a "bike boulevard."
