The Grand Army Minecraft server is live and open to anyone. A local Brooklyn student built a 1:1 scale model of the proposed plaza redesign using real NYC geodata — streets from OpenStreetMap, building footprints from NYC Open Data, terrain from USGS. The new pedestrian plaza, market stalls, cafe seating, and planters are all in place where the southern roadway sits today.

Come walk from the Arch to Prospect Park without dodging traffic.
