""I'm afraid this could be the death of Court Street," Caputo said. "I hear a lot of complaints from all of my customers. They call me, they email, they can't find any place to park. So, they drive by, they look for parking, and they just keep going and the problem is, once they find an alternative, they're not coming back.""
""Just let us have some input," D'Amico pleaded. "There's possible changes that they can make where it's more conducive to everyone.""
""The redesign of Court Street follows the best safety practices from around the world and is similar to countless streets across New York City. Protected"
A group of Court Street business owners filed a petition against the City of New York and the Department of Transportation over a new protected bike lane. The redesign removed a traffic lane and curbside parking and also added pedestrian islands and loading zones. Several merchants reported sales declines since the project began, citing customers unable to find parking and driving past. The lawsuit asks a judge to overturn the redesign and require community collaboration on alternatives. The DOT states the redesign follows international safety practices, and some local cyclists voiced support.
