Flatlands Avenue

Flatlands Avenue is a major street in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. It runs approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) east-west, from Avenue N and East 35th Street in Flatlands in the west to Forbell Street, east of Fountain Avenue in East New York, near the Brooklyn-Queens border. The right-of-way continues in Lindenwood and Howard Beach, Queens as 156th Avenue, separated by the remnants of Spring Creek. The portion of Flatlands Avenue east of Louisiana Avenue in East New York was previously mapped as Fairfield Avenue.

The avenue runs a diagonal path and intersects with several other major streets in Brooklyn, including Flatbush Avenue, Utica Avenue, Ralph Avenue, Rockaway Parkway, and Pennsylvania Avenue. For the most part, the avenue has four lanes, and there is a central median east of Ralph Avenue through Canarsie and East New York.

Flatlands Avenue's western end is at an intersection with East 35th Street in Marine Park, forming a small triangle with Avenue N. After about seven blocks, it intersects with Flatbush Avenue, one block south of Kings Highway, and crosses into the neighborhood of Flatlands. At about Ralph Avenue where the street crosses into Canarsie, the avenue is adjacent to the north end of the Paerdegat Basin. Crossing into Spring Creek and Starrett City between East 108th Street and Louisianan Avenue, Flatlands Avenue marks the northern ends of Fresh Creek and Hendrix Creek. East of Fountain Avenue, the continuous Flatlands Avenue ends at an entrance to the large Brooklyn Postal Facility. One block east, Flatlands Avenue forms the southern boundary of a small two-block community between Grant Avenue, Cozine Avenue, and Forbell Street. This portion of the avenue is only accessible from Forbell Street.
