As Myrtle Minutes noted earlier this week, Carlton Avenue between Park and Myrtle—an unusually wide street—is in the process of getting a planted median that will also incorporate a bike path. A collaboration between the DOT and Parks Department, this segment is part of a larger plan to create a bike lane on Carlton that extends from Flushing all the way to Flatbush; a similar effort is being made on Cumberland between Flushing and Pacific. The initiative also wins points for a great name: The Fort Greene Bike Lane and Traffic Calming Project.
