It’s bicycle week in NYC, albeit unofficially. Earlier this week, the City announced a zoning amendment to require bike parking in buildings. Here’s another velo-entry: The Forum for Urban Design asked architects and planners to imagine Red Hook as the city’s most bicycle-friendly neighborhood (a stretch for now, considering the unpleasantness of crossing Hamilton Avenue on two wheels). Yesterday, the winners where announced. The first place winner was Jonathan Rule Design, who envisioned a new network of bike lanes along with a “bike loft acting as a hub for bicycle activity in the area.” Click through for more. Curbed has images, too, and the FFUF site has videos galore.
Love the design, great work. Unrelated to the design Red Hook will continue to be the HQ getting your bike stolen. At least now there will be a hub of activity. And a loft too!;)
are there any other nerds out there who looked at the first image and thought half-life 2?
