CB10 and Councilman Brannan – We Need a Protected Bike Lane on 86th Street
I saw you shared about a bike lane coming to 86th Street between 3rd Avenue and Shore Road.
And it’s not a protected bike lane.
It needs to be!
Because if a child is hurt or gets killed I will be upset and will point the finger at you (even though I love you CB10, I will be very upset if someone gets hurt)..
Let’s do a protected bike lane. Take away one lane on 86th Street, draw a new stripe up the street and put up dividers before the cars.
If you are unsure, let’s try it this way for the Summer. If it doesn’t work out, we repaint the road and move the barriers.
If it isn’t a protected bike path, most parents here aren’t going to allow their kids to use it. Why? Because they are good parents and they know how careless some drivers are here.
We don’t get second chances sometimes – so let’s do this right.
And you don’t want me pointing.
Hugs,
marlene
