The New York City Department of Transportation will present its plan for a bi-directional bike lane along Kent Avenue to Brooklyn Community Board 1. The lane is not only a sound compromise between varied community interests, but is also a groundbreaking design that establishes space for the much anticipated Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway.

It’s imperative that Transportation Alternatives members, bike-lane supporters and neighborhood residents who believe that a safe, secure space for cyclists on Kent Avenue is in the best interest of the community show up and speak out.
