Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso in a "Mornings On 1" interview Thursday discussed infrastructure issues in the borough, including a new proposal for freight infrastructure to preserve the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway.

Reynoso addressed the need for long-term planning across all neighborhoods in Brooklyn.

“What I'm doing is not to get reelected,” he said. “We're taking a step back and saying, ‘Hey, well, let's vote for the city.’ Every single ill that we have in this city can be contributed to terrible planning in the past.”

The conversation shifted to the BQE’s recent weekend closure for structural repairs as the city works to stabilize the crumbling roadway along a stretch of highway in northern Brooklyn, with Reynoso suggesting the city consider a new freight plan.

“The Port Authority was built specifically to move freight through our waterways. Why not revisit that conversation? Start thinking long term about whether or not the BQE should be the primary means to move goods around in the city of New York,” he said.

On the topic of infrastructure, Reynoso also discussed the proliferation of mopeds and e-bikes in Brooklyn and their seeming takeover of bike, street and sidewalk infrastructure, blaming the city’s car culture and the lack of alternative options for other vehicles.

"Structure gets built, culture gets built, and before you know it, they're good,” he said.
