Cycling advocates are suing New York City over plans to remove parts of a protected bike lane on Bedford Avenue, a decision made by Mayor Eric Adams at the request of local residents. The lawsuit claims this action endangers public safety, as improvements in cycling infrastructure have proven to reduce accidents and save lives. Legal representatives argue the decision lacked required notification and transparency, which is essential for community feedback. Council Member Lincoln Restler supports this stance, citing the necessity for legal compliance in such infrastructure decisions.
Tearing out portions of the Bedford Avenue bike lane will only make our streets more dangerous for everyone who uses them, including children.
These street safety improvements have been proven to save lives, reduce crashes, and protect people from injury, and we cannot sit idly by while the Adams administration takes steps to make our streets more dangerous.
