"The addition of a parking-protected bike lane on Bedford Avenue will create a critical cycling link in an area where bicycle ridership is booming, while making the road safer for everyone-whether you're walking, biking, or traveling by car," DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez said in a statement.
"The new northbound bike lane will stretch from Dean Street to Flushing Avenue by the end of this year, allowing cyclists some refuge from two wide lanes of speeding traffic."
"Between Halsey Street and Flushing Avenue, DOT will turn the existing curbside parking into a 'floating' parking lane to separate cyclists from car traffic. The design is more complicated south of Halsey due to narrower street geometry and the way that Rogers Avenue and Bedford Avenue merge at Dean Street."
"The project will also add loading zones along Bedford Avenue to keep curb access open to drivers, as well as painted pedestrian islands at intersection to increase visibility and reduce the distance needed to cross the street."
