More Bike Racks Coming to Flatbush Avenue

According to the North Flatbush Avenue BID, eight old parking meters will be retrofitted by the DOT to accommodate bicycle parking. (When it comes to parking, there are new muni-meters along Flatbush Avenue, not involved with this project.) According to the BID, “The new bike racks will save the city the trouble of digging the poles out of the foundation, and gives bikers a much-needed place to lock up.” That means there will be nearly 80 bike racks along North Flatbush Avenue, with more planned within the scope of the BID’s new Capital Streetscape project.
