Well said cmu.

There are times when I get going pretty fast, but those are on straightaway streets when I have green lights, like Park or Atlantic Avenues.

When it comes to the Brooklyn Bridge, cyclists and pedestrians have to respect each ohers' rights to be there. As a cyclist, that means going an appropriate speed and if I come up behind a group of pedestrians, I slow down to a near-crawl and say (not yell), "Excuse me please", and they will always move over to let me be. If you want people to respect your right to be there, you have to respect theirs!

Two different suggestions:

1. Pave over the dog run and install a house. It seems to work for the one at Mercer and Houston.

2. Initiate a dog/cat-licensing fee of 50-100 bucks a year and use this money specifically for subsidizing dog walks.
