Speaking of awful Gen Xers, Troy Martin, a self-proclaimed bike advocate, has fought tooth and nail to stonewall a vital bike lane on McDonald Ave, and has announced his intent to retain Hartley Bernstein to fight it, should it be approved by CB7 tonight. karmabrooklyn.blogspot.com/2026/10/prot...

Troy has raised nearly $10,000 to retain the disgraced and previously disbarred attorney that wasted the taxpayer's time and money on frivolous challenges to the Astoria and Court St bike lanes, and is proud of this!

And to the accusation that there's been insufficient community input, there have been literal years of public workshopping and input meetings. It's a complete lie. Here I am 14 months ago testifying in favor of the lane. The baby I'm holding can now walk and climb on things! youtu.be/Q5uaF5yE5Rs?...

Here's Troy at the same meeting, proposing an idea to put the lane on side streets, a proposal that should sound familiar to anyone following the bike lane saga in Toronto. This man claims to be pro-bike lane, so much so that he's throwing a legal hissyfit to kill it. youtu.be/Q5uaF5yE5Rs?...

Mr. Martin's accusation that DOT isn't considering the wider bike network with this lane is also bunk. The entire reason for building it is to fill a gap in the bike network, which when built, would finally connect 4th Ave and Ocean Parkway, connecting the East River Bridges to Coney Island.

If you would like to signal your support for this needed lane before Mr. Martin hires a disgraced lawyer to waste your time and money, the meeting is tonight at 6:30pm, on Zoom or in person at the CB7 office at 4201 4th Avenue in Sunset Park karmabrooklyn.blogspot.com/2026/10/comm...
