The city has put out a "request for qualifications" for a BQE Enhancement Study that could eventually pretty up the part of the highway slicing through Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill, the Observer reports. Proposed improvements include "green planted buffers throughout the study area; new street light fixtures, new street furniture, such as decorative trash receptacles or seating; sidewalk repair and re-alignment; and, other special elements such as pedestrian/bicycle improvements." While decorative trash receptacles do sound nice, we'll take the BQE canal, the BQE greenway or the BQE silencer any day. [NYO]
