Closing Bell: Prospect Park Roadsharing Meeting

Tomorrow night Prospect Park’s Road Sharing Taskforce will have a meeting to discuss its recommendations for making the park’s drives safer for bicyclists and pedestrians. The taskforce includes reps from city agencies, such as the DOT and the Parks Dept., in addition to a number of people who belong to neighborhood groups like the Prospect Park Community Committee and cycling and running groups. Today the Brooklyn Paper reported that the DOT has removed traffic cones it installed on West Park Drive as a measure to try and prevent bike-ped accidents and the “street will remain cone-free until the city gets more feedback on how to fix the treacherous slope.” The meeting is taking place at 6 p.m. on Tuesday at the park’s Picnic House.
