We're really disappointed to hear that the bike lane network in Community District 14, including protected bike lanes on Cortelyou and Dorchester Roads, will not be installed this year as DOT originally presented. We're hearing they're targeting installation for next year.

Protected bike lanes are proven solutions that make streets safer for everyone: pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers.

We're disappointed to see this very small school safety project get scaled back even more. Brooklyn and Kingston Avenues have plenty of space to ensure people are safe no matter what mode of transportation they choose. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/09/08/d...
DOT Downsizes Very Modest Brooklyn Bike Lane Plan After Pushback - Streetsblog New York City
Activists were furious that such a minimal initial proposal had been truncated further after predictable bikelash.

We're saddened to hear a 70-year-old man was hit and killed by a car while crossing the street in Midwood.
Our streets need to be designed to prioritize pedestrian safety - no one should die just trying to walk around our neighborhoods.
