The city is planning to widen the sidewalk to accommodate more pedestrians near the Hoyt-Schermerhorn subway station in Downtown, meaning that cops will no longer get to park on the sidewalk.

One of Downtown Brooklyn's busiest corners will become a pedestrian oasis when the city constructs a public plaza at Hoyt and Schermerhorn streets.
