The DeKalb Avenue Traffic Calming and Bicycle Lane Project (pdf)

The New York City Department of Transportation will present its DeKalb Avenue Traffic Calming and Bicycle Lane Project (pdf) to Brooklyn Community Board 3's Transportation Committee. (For information only. No public comments accepted at this session.)

Like many North Brooklyn neighborhoods, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill and Bedford Stuyvesant are growing cycling communities. DeKalb Avenue is an important and heavily used multi-modal commuter corridor spanning all three neighborhoods. Many commuters travel on DeKalb Avenue to work, shop or connect with transit in Downtown Brooklyn on the heavily-used B38 bus line, by car or by bike, but there is no dedicated space for cyclists. The project aims to improve safety and comfort for cyclists and calm traffic on DeKalb Avenue, while preserving the multimodal capacity of the avenue. Implementation of the project is scheduled for June 2008.
