Citibikes Are Coming to Bay Ridge
If there were covered bike lanes in Bay Ridge, Citibike would be great to have.
But there aren’t covered bike lanes because politicians around here overrode Community Board 10 and put bike lanes in some strange and even dangerous places.
Community Board 10 discussed Citibike plans to install several sections of Citibike for transportation reasons – not recreation.
It’s okay to say it Bay Ridge…..some people are terrible at riding a bike. Also there are terrible vehicle drivers in the area! So covered bike lanes should have been worked in a loop around the neighborhood, so children could ride safely.
Here’s where the Citibikes will be placed soon:
Each section will have 22 bikes. Some sites are on sidewalks, which is a good place for them to be, especially if children are riding them. They are all near the Leif Ericson Greenway (bike lane which is on the sidewalk).
A concern for this area was that the signage on the bike lane was not easy to see.
Community Board 10 said they were going to check with the NYC school safety committee to review each site as there are two near schools.
This is what Community Board 10 discussed:
