Judge pumps brakes on Adams' 'illegal' plan to remove Brooklyn protected bike lane where e-biker slammed into toddler
Briefly

A judge blocked Mayor Adams' decision to dismantle a protected bike lane in Brooklyn, citing misuse of discretion by the city. This legal move comes after an e-biking incident involving a toddler, prompting community concerns. The judge criticized the administration for not involving local officials or the public before making this abrupt announcement. Transportation Alternatives, a cycling advocacy group, welcomed the ruling, arguing that the bike lane's removal would jeopardize street safety. A court hearing is set for August to further address these issues.
The Adams administration listened to the community's concerns and decided to reconfigure the bike lane to its original model while still maintaining safety measures.
We're ecstatic that a judge is currently blocking the city from ripping up street safety improvements... We won't let anyone make our streets more dangerous.
