Traffic in one of the Brooklyn quarters will be blocked until the end of summer: because of the Black Lives Matter mural

The traffic will be banned in one of the quarters of Brooklyn, where a giant Black Lives Matter sign appeared on the weekend. Authorities said this would be done for the convenience of the protesters. This publication writes Daily News.

Until the end of summer, traffic will be banned in one of the quarters of Brooklyn, where the inscription Black Lives Matter was made on June 13. This was announced on Monday, June 15, the mayor of the city Bill de Blasio.

The inscription was made along the roadway on Fulton Street, between Marcy Avenue and Brooklyn Avenue in New York. She imitates an inscription made on 16th Street near the White House in Washington a week earlier.

The mayor of New York City, Bill de Blasio, said that such a decision is intended to facilitate the participation of New Yorkers in anti-police protests. The latter began on May 25, immediately after the death of a resident of Minneapolis George Floyd at the hands of a white policeman.

The protests then swept across the country and have since continued, including in five districts of New York.

De Blasio noted that the ban on cars will last until the end of summer, but did not specify a specific date for its end.

There are two busiest bus routes in this quarter, B44 and B25. The city authorities, together with the City Transport Department, are now looking for alternative ways out of the situation. “We are working to mitigate any impact on customers as much as possible,” said MTA spokesman Tim Minton.

As previously reported, the streets in New York will colorize and renamed in honor of the Black Lives Matter.
