- SummaryAerial view of section of Downtown Brooklyn with many commercial and residential buildings and pedestrian overpass bridge in foreground. Caption: "How eight-lane highway becomes two-lane--At Fort Greene Market bottleneck on Atlantic Ave., westbound traffic (heading toward camera) has to drive on wrong side of street, crowding eastbound vehicles. Trucks and cars park back to curb, at left. Second and sometimes third line parks further out in street, blocking half of avenue. At right, cars and trucks are parked on sidewalk, making life tough even for pedestrians."
