Sunset residents and elected officials call for protected bike lane
Have the wheels stopped turning?
Sunset Park residents have long asked the New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) for a safe Fourth Avenue bike lane. Members of the popular Facebook group Sunset Parker, residents, and elected officials have made those calls louder. But DOT doesn’t seem to agree with the idea.
FounderĀ of Sunset Parker Tony Giordano sent a letter to DOT on August 21 asking that it consider concerns that had been raised regarding plans to widenĀ the center median of Fourth Avenue as part of its safety reconfiguration, specifically requestingĀ a protected lane for bikers.
