Closing Bell: No Love for the Adams Street Bike Lane
When Morton’s Steakhouse opens in the Adams Street Marriott, better not try to bring your bike. The bike lane in this part of town is consistently blocked by parked and idling buses and town cars. Why aren’t the transit police slapping these vehicles with tickets? You’d think it would be an easy source of revenue…

Demolish the hotel. Problem solved.
Who cares about people who currently drive in NYC?
Why do these people need to start riding bikes to have safe bike lanes?
There ARE people who bike here now… and we don’t need to add a single person to this list to have justification to build safer bike lanes.
The bike lane is for people that live here, the hotel isn’t.
Why do people insist on wanting to ride bikes in NYC? What a dumb idea. Guess what- no one who currently drive a car in the city is going to want to start riding a bike instead. It’s dangerous and sweaty and also now cold and sweaty at the same time and doubly dangerous in the middle of winter.
Yeah, let’s go a step further and get rid of crosswalks and stop lights and sidewalks!
if you are afraid to walk, don’t.
Then we’ll get rid of traffic lights, and lane markers… if you are afraid to drive, don’t.
Then we’ll get rid of food inspectors… and cops… and… anything else that isn’t necessary in 4:43’s little world.
a bike lane in front of Brooklyn’s only major hotel. move the bike lane it is not realistic.
fire the planner and paint him/her green.
If I saw green paint next to curb, I would think it means that it’s totally cool to park there. I mean, it’s not yellow or nothin’
You take your chances biking in NY with or without a bike lane.. if you are afraid to bike in the city, dont.
Seems like a great place for a bike lane!
Just a little paint, and then you can start collecting revenue from cars parking there AND bicyclists not utilizing it AND bonuses abound from the bicyclists that go on the sidewalk because they feel their lives are being threatened because they don’t have proper separated bike lanes.
Money from tickets for bikes, cars, congestion pricing, and then raise that MTA fare!
All the invests in is a little paint, and then postures like they actually do something besides lining their pockets with cash.
Who are you saying “duh” to? We the citizens are the dummies.
