New safety improvements are being implemented between 168th Street and Francis Lewis Boulevard.
The two hard-fought concrete structures were installed last December, only to be removed this week.
The DOT removed the year-old barriers amid concerns over large vehicles at the West Indian Day Parade.
The city hopes to improve traffic flow by adding and removing left turn lanes, officials say.
The city needs "maintenance partners" to commit to caring for micro-gardens on the pedestrian islands.
The city agency hosted a walk through of the area with local residents to go over the changes.
New islands and turn restrictions are in place at Washington and Underhill avenues in Prospect Heights.
The changes are expected to lessen dangerous turns and reduce speeding, the DOT said.
The DOT will not immediately expand a slow zone to Sixth Avenue, despite requests from the community.
