The new bike lane on Bedford Avenue promises safer streets for cyclists and pedestrians, despite community opposition in South Williamsburg.
A new protected bike lane will be coming to Bedford Avenue, between Dean Street and Flushing Avenue, in Bedford-Stuyvesant, the transportation department said on Tuesday.
The protected bike will be the first in the area, replacing a traditional, painted bike lane that Park Price said “is effectively useless because it is chronically parked in by drivers, delivery trucks, the UPS, FedEx and so it’s really dangerous for everyone and it has effectively not been a functioning bike lane.”
“I used to bike down almost every day for a time to go to work in Manhattan and it’s always been really eerie and I think one of the more dangerous spots of my ride,” Uster said.
