Back to School, But Not Back to Normal: Street Closures Disrupt Boro Park Commute

By BoroPark24 Staff

Hundreds of Boro Park children started their first day of the new school season with unexpected challenges, as closed streets and altered bus routes led to confusion and delays across the neighborhood.

One notable closure occurred on 45th Street between 12th and 14th Avenues, which was completely shut down throughout the morning, for what was deemed “important” tree trimming that began at 7:00 AM and lasted through the morning.

The timing left many families scrambling, with BoroPark24 witnessing dozens of parents rushing through nearby streets, trying to get their children to the right relocated pickup spots.
