BIKE LANE DRAMA AT COMMUNITY BOARD 6: SEE THE VIDEO

Streetsblog is covering the continuing drama about the 9th Street’s proposed bike lane. There’s there’s even a video of an executive member of Community Board 6 who is dead set against a bike lane over there.

"First off, please accept my apologies for continuing to torture you
with the intensely parochial drama taking place on Park Slope’s 9th
Street. I justify all of this coverage by imagining that this story may
be useful for advocates working towards Livable Streets goals in other
neighborhoods.

For those who are just coming in to the story, a few weeks ago the Department of Transportation put forward a thoughtful, responsive and well-designed "Road Diet" plan
for Park Slope’s dangerous, crash-prone 9th Street. Sadly, a rather
well organized group of residents led by a Community Board 6 executive
committee member named Robert Levine has set out to kill the plan (or,
at least, get rid of the bike lane portion of it)."
