Bicycle Plan Is Put On Fast Track

Submitted by State Senator José M. Serrano, Jul 25, 2007 14:04

The city clearly needs more bike lanes, and I applaud the Mayor for taking a lead here. But putting lanes on some car-free streets, like 91^st, is more about government expediency than common sense. This block, in my Senate district, is filled with kids playing ball, and senior citizens reading and sitting on benches. It's also on a fairly steep grade. A bicycle route here is not just a nuisance, but a legitimate danger. I strongly encourage DOT to select another route.
