Bike Lane Coming to 3rd Avenue in Bay Ridge? Nooooo
Bay Ridge needs a protected bike lane throughout the whole area. I thought they decided to use 7th Avenue, but apparently, they are thinking of putting a bike lane on 3rd Avenue (see picture above – it has 3rd Avenue marked out in addition to 7th Avenue).
I hope they change their mind!
Third Avenue is crowded as it is with delivery trucks for the stores and people double parking so they can run in and get a few items from their favorite places. Don’t get mad at them for doing that – parking is a commodity around here.
Radio Free Bay Ridge shared these slides and the meeting notes here.
Although I strongly support bike lanes, I wouldn’t want them to be on 3rd Avenue. Let’s hope they change their mind and get a protected bike lane for 7th Avenue to keep everyone safe.
Hugs,
