Streetsblog and Gowanus Lounge report that the transportation committee of Brooklyn Community Board 6 voted unanimously last night to approve DOT’s traffic calming and bike lane plan for Park Slope’s 9th Street.

It was also requested that the DOT build a bike lane along Prospect Park West, undertake a curbside management study and that the agency monitor the effects of the new street design.

Seeing Green had this to say about the meeting.

What was missing from it all was a feeling that maybe, just maybe, the roads could be for us all… bikes, cars, trucks, buses and walkers. Being a strong proponent of shared streets, it was sad for me to see so many staking out their personal positions without regard to the larger picture.
