  1. Surprising to hear this come from Borough Hall – but it makes perfect sense with the proposed Brooklyn Tech Triangle: for the new demographics of people who work, rent and shop in Downtown.

    And like cars, you build bike parking you get bikes. Improved lanes cannot be far behind.

    Great news!
