Oh, man, the Prospect Park West bike lane foes just refuse to go gently. The latest bid for attention from Neighbors for Better Bike Lanes and Seniors for Safety lawyer Jim Walden demands that the DOT remove the lane. However, as The Observer reports, the letter is probably just a technical formality that’s necessary before another lawsuit can be pursued. Transportation Alternatives sent out a press release in response to the letter that said the following, in part: “In their desperate quest for headlines, the opponents of the street safety improvements on Prospect Park West continue to ride roughshod over the wishes of local residents. These malcontents had their day in court, and their groundless case was dismissed. The people of Park Slope have endured this reckless PR stunt long enough.”
