MOVE THE BIKE LANE

BEFORE

AFTER


I really wish they moved the bike lane.  Mayor Bloomberg has done and excellent job embracing bike culture in NYC and especially in Brooklyn.  Bicycle infrastructure is amazing yet they are missing one important detail.  Get the bike lane out of the street.  Move the bike lane between the sidewalk and parked cars.  I think if we used parked cars to buffer the bike lane we there would be less bike fatalities and less bicycle accidents. I applaud transportation alternatives and Mike Bloomberg on the bike friendly initially the city has seen in recent years but this simple repositioning will save lives.  And from the drivers point of view it is a lot easier to parallel park without driving backward through the bike lane.
