Needed: Your Two Cents on PPW Bike Lane

October 20, 2010

Councilmember Brad Lander, Councilmember Stephen Levin, and Brooklyn Community Board 6 want your feedback on recent changes to Prospect Park West!

Do the Survey. It’s easy, it’s fast and it’s your chance to register your opinion about the controversial bike lane.

Earlier this year, the NYC Department of Transportation changed Prospect Park West from three to two lanes of traffic and installed a separated two-way bike lane. The goal: to reduce speeding, to encourage and improve city biking and to increase pedestrian safety.

This fall, DOT is studying the effects of these changes, including data on accidents, speeding, vehicle and bicycle volumes, and cycling behavior, which they will present to the public in 2011.

Councilmember Lander, Councilmember Levin, and Brooklyn Community Board 6 are gathering feedback on these changes, in order to provide an opportunity for resident input.

DO THE SURVEY!

    2. I LOVE the new bike lanes! Prospect park west used to be pretty flightening to bike down! Cars sped at an unbelievable rate and moved incredibly close to bikers, to the point where I wondered if they even saw me. The new bike lane makes my commute faster, less stressful and much safer. Thank you!
