Experience with Bike Lane Safety Issues?

Do you mean the bike lane in the park or on PPW?  If I am out of your study group, take this as a comment:  As this is a real estate, home improvement forum you might consider the difficulties of renovating homes and rooms during and as a result of the transportation revolution.  A balanced view would include the workers, service providers and even the folks who deliver food, not just the home owners, recreaters, and those commuting to existing employment facilities. I renovate bathrooms using a bike and trailer, and If your view is balanced, it will be the first.  I had a collision with a skateboard rider in the PPW bike lane and would be happy to speak with you.  You can find me in the Brownstoner directory under Shower Stalls.  Green Mountain

Up until recently, I lived a stone-throw away from the Prospect Park bike lane. I am now writing an article about bike lanes in NYC for Columbia University’s journal on Sustainable Development. I am looking for people to interview who have actually experienced either injury or near injury as a result of the bike-lane and generally view it as unsafe. I am looking to give this article a balanced view point and explore how the city is struggling to turn “sustainability “agendas into a reality. If you would be wiling to chat for 10-15 minutes, on th record – I’d so appreciate some insight into the concerns people have about bike lanes. If interested or if you know someone who might be interested, please email me at pjq2001@columbia.edu. Thanks so much! Pamela Quinlan
