I’d especially be interested in affordable “maker spaces” for artists who work in media other than print/paint/textiles. Many industrial artists struggle to find places with the necessary infrastructure (high ceilings, gas lines, electrical needs etc) and the bulk end up paying too much for places in the outer reaches of Brooklyn or upstate.

Steinway Street used to be a shopping destination but isn't anymore. Injecting new retail, especially in the part of Steinway that currently has almost zero retail might make all of Steinway a shopping destination again. Since the south part of Steinway has easier access to subways, more people will be coming by mass transit and after they arrive and shop they'll be looking for places to eat throughout the neighborhood.
Seems like a big win to me.

Benches and seating are MOST important. Let hostile architecture be a thing of the past
