Brooklyn streets should be safer and easier to get around by bus and bike. @cmcrystalhudson.bsky.social, @chiosse.bsky.social, @cmrestler.bsky.social, and @bkbpreynoso.bsky.social all agree: It's time to redesign Dekalb and Lafayette for people.

Last month we sent a letter to the @mayor.nyc.gov and @nyc-dot.bsky.social urging them to prioritize a people first redesign of Dekalb and Lafayette, providing faster buses, safe east/west bike routes, and safer intersections. Our local elected officials joined in signing.

We're also pleased to see commitment to acting on other long-delayed projects. The delays we've seen in this project aren't unique to this neighborhood. The same pattern has happened around the city in recent years. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/n...

Flatbush Streets for People @flatbushstreetsforpeople.com · 13/02/2026

We are excited to hear that @mayor.nyc.gov is prioritizing the long-delayed bike lane network in Flatbush, East Flatbush, and Midwood. We have been advocating for this network for years, both to protect cyclists and to improve safety for all road users in our neighborhoods.

Screenshot of NYT article:

Mr. Mamdani is also expected to announce that the city will build a bike lane network through the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Midwood, Flatbush and East Flatbush, and add protected lanes to Dorchester and Cortelyou Roads in Ditmas Park, and along Brooklyn and Kingston Avenues, also in Brooklyn.

“These projects will improve the quality of life for so many New Yorkers — but until today many were stalled because of politics,” said Mike Flynn, the city’s new transportation commissioner, in a statement. “This is just the beginning.”

We're really disappointed to hear that the bike lane network in Community District 14, including protected bike lanes on Cortelyou and Dorchester Roads, will not be installed this year as DOT originally presented. We're hearing they're targeting installation for next year.

It's really hazardous how narrow the new Brooklyn Bridge bike lane is when you get a flat in the middle of the bridge like I just did, cc @nyc.streetsblog.org @tabk.bsky.social @bikenewyork.bsky.social There's not space to walk the bike to somewhere safe to fix it alongside two-way bike travel.

On Wednesday, the full @bkcb02 voted to recommend @nyc-dot.bsky.social and @CMCrystalHudson complete the 2-way protected bike lane on Ashland Pl! There is broad community support for this project, and we are happy cb2 took a strong stance urging the city to close the gap!

Text from Brooklyn Community Board 2 recommendation:

Recommendation to the Dept of Transportation and Council Member
Hudson to complete the final block of the Ashland Place bike lane.

The Committee previously reviewed the DOT’s 2022 plans for the bike
lane on Ashland Place, as well as the 2023 revision. We believe the 2022 plan should be revisited in order to improve bicycle, pedestrian, and vehicular safety at the SE corner of Ashland and Lafayette and the block between Lafayette > Hanson Place which connects across Flatbush and Atlantic to 4th Avenue.

Another thing that keeps getting mentioned by those supporting Intro 606 including Bob Holden himself: if Intro 606 isn't the solution, what is? Intro 1138 to daylight NYC would prevent thousands of crashes and injuries a year. If safety is truly the concern, this is a proven solution.

We’re grateful to @chiosse.bsky.social for no longer sponsoring Intro 606. Everyone wants safe streets, but a reasonable case for *how* Intro 606 would do this is nowhere to be found. And more, the flimsy bill would expose New Yorkers to arbitrary enforcement. Thank you, Council Member.

Intro 606 is TERRIBLE. It would require e-bikes and e-scooters to be licensed and open up people who ride any type of bike to harassment. NYC needs solutions that save lives, not fear-based policies that will lead to bike bans.
