As a constituent, I’d like this bridge to be for walking and biking only. Please @CMShahanaHanif make that happen. @NYC_DOT

[Council Member Shahana Hanif @CMShahanaHanif]

The Carroll Street Bridge will reopen soon, and I encourage DOT to open it for pedestrians and cyclists only!

Reopening this historic landmark is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reimagine how we share public space in Gowanus. As our neighborhood grows, we should prioritize safe, accessible infrastructure that serves pedestrians and cyclists, reduces traffic violence, and strengthens community connection.

I stumbled upon the street fair that BAM hosts during Dance Africa, where you see what it would be like if Ashland was pedestrianized like in the DTBK vision for the area. Better suits the cultural hub that the area is vs current car-first design.

[TA Brooklyn (TABK) @TransAltBK]

Soon

[Kathy Park Price @KathyParkPrice]

And soon these trashbags covering the signals won’t be flapping around for a third year bc Crashland will be fixed!

[Bike New York @bikenewyork]

❤️ the aggressive approach to finding room for these projects (Schermerhorn & now Ashland/Navy)!

This will make the skinnier segment of Ashland 1-way for 🚘 @NYC_DOT

[Streetsblog New York City @StreetsblogNYC]

Why can't we have a bike lane on Chambers Street to connect the Brooklyn Bridge to the Hudson River Greenway?

Blame the rampant placard abuse and illegal parking, @GershKuntzman explains.

[emily lipstein @emily_lip]

the same car that had 7 bus lane violations on this block of Bedford Avenue had a covered license plate? well color me shocked

[bridges4people @bridges4people]

We're excited to see this moving forward! Better connections to our bridges are a high impact way the city can improve getting around NYC for everyone.

Will be nice not to have to navigate the crowded sidewalk when approaching from the south.

[Bergen Bike Bus BK @BergenBikeBus]

We are overjoyed. Thank you to City leaders & @NYC_DOT for hearing our calls, for riding along w/ us on #BikeRolltoSchoolDay & for working to give kids the recognition they deserve as street users. Thank you to the kids & the volunteers, who show biking to school benefits all! 🥰

[Kathy Park Price @KathyParkPrice]

Congrats to Emily Stutts who founded @BergenBikeBus. Proud to say she was my kid’s elem. teacher and she started a bike ed + bike to school program there! My husband and I led one of the routes for a few years.During that time, Ms. Emily launched BBB + started the NYC movement!😢

[Kathy Park Price @KathyParkPrice]

Congratulations @BergenBikeBus! A bike boulevard on Bergen and Dean will make it safer for everyone! Thank you @NYCMayor and @NYC_DOT

[Vincent Barone @vinbarone]

[John Surico @JohnSurico]

The Bergen Bike Bus, an (adorable) weekly ride of parents, children and teachers on their way to school, is about to get a glow-up. (@NYCMayor is riding with them this morning.) https://t.co/Q8qcOyMaTL

[Nick Benson @nick_benson]

Bike boulevards are coming to Bergen and Dean Streets!

Bike boulevards use street design to make cycling safer and more comfortable while allowing vehicle access.

A big win for kids, families, and people of all ages and abilities.

[Car-lite NYC @BetterR0ads]

@TransAltBK @NYC_DOT @StreetsblogNYC @CMShahanaHanif @LincolnRestler @CMCrystalHudson One of the worst blocks in Brooklyn. That lane is constantly blocked.

[TA Brooklyn (TABK) @TransAltBK]

This is one of the gaps in the safe bike network they're asking to get fixed!! Just south of Atlantic on 4th ave.

[TA Brooklyn (TABK) @TransAltBK]

We're thrilled to have @LincolnRestler @CMCrystalHudson and @CMShahanaHanif call on @NYC_DOT to fix these additional gaps in the protected bike lane network around Ashland Place!

These are only a few blocks but are already in use by many cyclists every day!

[tropical depression @feedmewifi]

@TransAltBK @bfurnas @LincolnRestler @CMCrystalHudson @CMShahanaHanif @NYC_DOT @StreetsblogNYC I would definitely use that if it existed

[TA Brooklyn (TABK) @TransAltBK]

@feedmewifi @bfurnas @LincolnRestler @CMCrystalHudson @CMShahanaHanif @NYC_DOT @StreetsblogNYC Hopefully soon!!

Three Council members from Brooklyn want the Department of Transportation to fix crucial shortcomings in the bike network. Plus other news. https://t.co/1KQbAmDjNS
