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.

On Wednesday, a pedestrian was struck and killed by a box truck on Morgan Ave near Cooper Park.
Members of the community are gathering tonight for an emergency action in response to this tragedy - both to honor the life lost and to call on the city to take urgent steps to make Morgan Ave safe.

It's really hazardous how narrow the new Brooklyn Bridge bike lane is when you get a flat in the middle of the bridge like I just did, cc @nyc.streetsblog.org @tabk.bsky.social @bikenewyork.bsky.social
There's not space to walk the bike to somewhere safe to fix it alongside two-way bike travel.

NYC built a two-way bike lane on Brooklyn's Ashland Place back in 2023... so why isn't it done yet?
You can thank former mayoral aide Ingrid Lewis-Martin, and her meddling on behalf of a developer 👀 youtube.com/shorts/2PbQo...

Another thing that keeps getting mentioned by those supporting Intro 606 including Bob Holden himself: if Intro 606 isn't the solution, what is?
Intro 1138 to daylight NYC would prevent thousands of crashes and injuries a year. If safety is truly the concern, this is a proven solution.

A lot of testimony is tragically misguided. Pamela Manasse — who suffered terrible injuries due to a crash — spoke in support of Intro 606. But the moped that hit her was ALREADY REQUIRED to have a plate. This requirement didn't prevent her injuries.
We need safe systems — not arbitrary punishment.
