Earlier this month, the Department of City Planning announced that the Jackson Street Bridge is gaining a little green space.

The plans released show trees, plants, benches and extra space on the sidewalk for pedestrians. In order to make way for the extra sidewalk space, the center turn lane will be eliminated.

Side street parking spots will also line the space.
