BROOKLYN WEEKLY, MARCH 1, 2020
BIKE LANE
tected bike lane slated for
Remsen Avenue between
Foster Avenue and Canarsie
Park, several local
leaders demanded that the
agency reconsider.
“There is absolutely
no reason for a bike lane
on Remsen Avenue. It will
disrupt traffi c and it isn’t
needed,” said Councilman
Alan Maisel (D—Canarsie).
Canarsie features just
over 30 north-and-south
oriented streets, two of
which feature partial bike
lanes, which Maisel argues
makes the proposed Remsen
Avenue path redundant.
“Canarsie has two bike
lanes already, both going
in the same direction,” said
the councilman.
In response to Maisel
and Turano’s frustrations,
Transportation Department
reps told the civic
leaders that they would
evaluate the scheme.
“We asked them to look at
other traffi c calming modifi
cations, they agreed,” said
Turano. “They said they
would rethink and come up
with another plan.”
But other southern
Brooklynites were less upset
by the agency’s proposed
peddler path, arguing
that Canarsieans would
love to bike more — if only
the streets friendlier to alternative
transportation
methods.
“I think it is a great
idea, it provides a good connection
to various points
in the neighborhood,” said
Marc Want, the head of
civic group the Canarsie
Improvement Association.
“The Paerdegat North bike
lane is getting tremendous
use.”
According to Want, the
proposed lane will succeed
if it guarantees that cyclists
will be safe when riding
on it.
“I think that it depends
on how it is done,” Want
said. “If it is done…right
next to the moving cars —
that is a problem.”
