A Brooklyn judge has issued a temporary restraining order preventing Mayor Eric Adams from removing the Bedford Avenue bike lane, responding to a lawsuit by advocacy group Transportation Alternatives. The judge ruled that no actions can be taken regarding the bike lane until a scheduled hearing in August. Advocates argue the removal decision, made in June, was made improperly without adequate legal notice. The bike lane, completed only last year, has faced opposition from parts of the local community, highlighting ongoing tensions regarding urban design and community needs.
