Olmsted’s Ghost: Prospect Trace – Western Half

Janes Walk

Led By Severn Clay-Youman, Architect

Walk follows the western half of the Prospect Expressway as it transforms from a looming viaduct to an excavated trench. Walk will stop at local institutions that thrive in the shadow of the highway – Open Source Gallery, Butterfly Garden, and Brooklyn Urban Garden Schools (BUGS).

The walk will conclude by meeting another walk group exploring the western half of the same highway led by David Cunningham. Read more about that walk >
