DOT-"My Way on the Highway" *The City* Sept 20,2019

The DOT is plowing ahead with palns to add 80 miles of protected bikes lanes in Brooklyn
despite community board opposition. Despite cyclist deaths. Some electeds are proclaiming its
about safety. Actually its about the lack of a responsible bike culture and common sense.
There needs to be an independent study done to restore reason and balance to the exercise in zealotry
perpetrated by Transportation Alternatives and their Koch Bros. like offshoots.They've conflated
"going green" with a lawless bike culture that has both damaged the environment and created a public safety crisis. So much for disrutpive "visionaries".

Here are some other stories (having nothing to do with BdB’s campaign) that you may have missed last week:

• The city Department of Transportation is charging ahead with plans to install 80 miles of protected bike lanes, even in neighborhoods that oppose the paths. The latest “green wave” is rippling along Brooklyn’s Shore Parkway.
