Mayor Adams' decision to pause the Underhill Avenue bike boulevard construction led to a door-to-door survey that demonstrated substantial support for the project, with nearly 60% of local residents in favor. Despite positive survey results showing community backing, the Department of Transportation has not disclosed the findings publicly, leading to pending legal action from Streetsblog. The redesigned street significantly reduced accidents from 20 in 2023 to only eight in 2024, yet opponents continue to push for further surveys to question the design's necessity and safety.
The door-to-door survey found that the redesign of Underhill Avenue was broadly popular, with nearly 60% of residents supporting the bike boulevard.
After the redesign was completed in early 2024, the DOT’s survey results were withheld despite overwhelming community support, leading to legal action.
Despite the bike boulevard's safety improvements, opponents are pushing for another survey to analyze every aspect of the redesign.
The redesign resulted in a significant decrease in street crashes, with only eight incidents in 2024 compared to 20 in the previous year.
