Surprise! The Prospect Park bike lanes are still stirring up controversy. Today the Brooklyn Paper reports that this PPW Bike Lane Survey started by Council members Steve Levin and Brad Lander got 800 responses on its first day. While the city has been analyzing traffic speed and accidents after the lane was put in, it wants community feedback before deciding whether or not to make the bike lane permanent. Questions deal with safety and design modifications. (One question asks if the bike lanes should be more compatible with the historic character of PPW.) In the meantime, rival bike lane protests are planned for this Thursday morning – supporters will be at GAP with protesters at PPW and Carroll Street. Uh oh!

  1. All fun aside, if you like the bike lane and want to keep it, get to the 8AM rally at GAP on Thurs because the forces of reaction are trying to take it away. I’m serious.

    Or, you can just wake up Nov 6 with tea partiers controlling congress and no bike lane on PPW.

  2. If that were true I would never go to work because I would be too busy driving behind you and smelling your exhaust 100% of the time.

    Have you ever driven behind a car that runs on recycled oil or grease? It seriously smells like whatever was cooked in it. I know a guy who runs a car on fryolator oil from fast food joints and his car smells like french fries when it’s running.
