He could do that on Eighth and Prospect Park West too. I'd support it as long as the buses and cyclists got to keep traveling in the same direction.

Might I add a personal anecdote about our StreetFilm: when we were getting the speed gun ready a car blazed by that must have been going 45-50 mph. I kid you not - it actually "shook the air" while we were standing on the curb.

Mr. Primeggia should perhaps walk around the two Avenues during a typical rush hour - I wonder if he did, I wonder if anyone from DOT did. It is all the evidence one needs.
