"Mamdani's DOT Commissioner Mike Flynn pledged to appeal the ruling, but honor Buggs's procedural concerns by starting the bureaucratic process for proposing and installing the project from scratch."
"The judge took issue with DOT's expertise, siding with bike lane opponents who claimed that the new lanes, which follow a design DOT implemented in 2024 in the Bronx, 'lacks a rational basis.'"
The Department of Transportation is proposing an extended protected bike lane on 31st Street in Astoria, stretching from Northern Boulevard to 20th Avenue. This plan follows a lawsuit that previously halted the project. DOT Commissioner Mike Flynn emphasized the benefits of the redesigned street, including improved traffic patterns and pedestrian safety. The agency will restart the bureaucratic process to address procedural concerns raised by a judge, who questioned the project's basis and DOT's expertise in implementing bike lanes.
