Red Hook Gets New Bike Lanes
The paint was still drying on some new bike lanes we spied in Red Hook earlier this week. The lanes stretch from the part of Bay Street next to the rec center and around to Clinton Street, reaching all the way to the BQE. They’re part of the DOT’s initiative to section off street space for bikers stretching from Prospect Lefferts Gardens through Park Slope’s 9th Street, all the way down to the Red Hook waterfront. Park Slope residents mounted plenty of opposition to the 9th Street lanes, but as far as we know, the Hook’s lanes were controversy-free. They certainly seem to make a lot of sense given the plentiful car traffic coming off the BQE. Any Red Hookers feel differently?
