Mayor Eric Adams has announced the decision to eliminate the protected bike lane on Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn due to safety issues raised by the community, particularly after several accidents, including those involving children. This move has garnered mixed reactions, with many residents expressing concerns through an online petition and a town hall meeting. Critics argue that the removal of the bike lane could lead to increased danger for cyclists and pedestrians, while supporters claim the redesign did not prioritize safety adequately. City Council Member Lincoln Restler also condemned the decision as politically motivated without a viable alternative proposed.
The bike lane has always been a danger to our children, but this new change has turned a danger into an imminent one.
This reckless and arbitrary decision will lead to more tragic crashes, and it will be his fault.
