Brooklyn CB6 to vote on Fourth Avenue bike lane plan Wednesday
Revised plan would speed up installation of lanes in Park Slope
The New York City Department of Transportation’s (DOT) plan to add 8 miles of protected bike lanes to Brooklyn’s Fourth Avenue is coming up for a vote at Community Board 6 (CB6) Wednesday night.
The proposed lanes would run along Fourth Avenue from Sunset Park to Atlantic Avenue.
During a presentation on Dec. 21, DOT said it planned to install the bicycle lanes and other improvements along Fourth Avenue in segments. In this original plan, work would be done from 65th Street to 8th Street in the spring and fall of 2018 (Phase A), then from 8th Street to Atlantic Avenue in the summer of 2021 (Phase B).
