Last month, @nyc-dot.bsky.social proposed a redesign of Dekalb and Lafayette with dedicated bus and bike lanes, coming this fall! This would be transformational for the neighborhoods of Bed Stuy, Clinton Hill, and Fort Greene. You can show your support here: act.transalt.org/a/clinton-hi...

Brooklyn streets should be safer and easier to get around by bus and bike. @cmcrystalhudson.bsky.social, @chiosse.bsky.social, @cmrestler.bsky.social, and @bkbpreynoso.bsky.social all agree: It's time to redesign Dekalb and Lafayette for people.

For more on the history of this proposed network and DOT's delays, see this thread we posted last year. We're looking forward to finally seeing these improvements on our streets! bsky.app/profile/flat...

We're also pleased to see commitment to acting on other long-delayed projects. The delays we've seen in this project aren't unique to this neighborhood. The same pattern has happened around the city in recent years. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/n...

We are excited to hear that @mayor.nyc.gov is prioritizing the long-delayed bike lane network in Flatbush, East Flatbush, and Midwood. We have been advocating for this network for years, both to protect cyclists and to improve safety for all road users in our neighborhoods.

Court Street rocks!!

We're really disappointed to hear that the bike lane network in Community District 14, including protected bike lanes on Cortelyou and Dorchester Roads, will not be installed this year as DOT originally presented. We're hearing they're targeting installation for next year.

On Wednesday, a pedestrian was struck and killed by a box truck on Morgan Ave near Cooper Park. Members of the community are gathering tonight for an emergency action in response to this tragedy - both to honor the life lost and to call on the city to take urgent steps to make Morgan Ave safe.

It's really hazardous how narrow the new Brooklyn Bridge bike lane is when you get a flat in the middle of the bridge like I just did, cc @nyc.streetsblog.org @tabk.bsky.social @bikenewyork.bsky.social There's not space to walk the bike to somewhere safe to fix it alongside two-way bike travel.

Streetsblog made a great video explaining why there's a gap in the bike lane on Ashland Place! #crashland We're gonna keep fighting until we get this fixed! You can show your support here: tiny.cc/closethegap

Happy to see @bradlander.bsky.social and @davecolon.bsky.social highlight #Crashland! "Lander noted the chaos the Adams approach brought as he biked down Ashland Place ... where City Hall chose backroom lobbying from real estate interests over safety." nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/04/17/t...

The hearing for @cmjuliewon.bsky.social's Intro 1138 to make universal daylighting the law in NYC is one week away! I'm thrilled that my representative CM Hudson sponsors this bill — and I look forward to seeing her fight to get it across the finish line. NYC needs universal daylighting!

We're just a week away from @council.nyc.gov's hearing on Intro 1138 to make universal daylighting the law in NYC. Thank you council member @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social for sponsoring this bill — NYC needs universal daylighting!

TABK was out this weekend in support of closing the gap Ashland/Navy protected bike lane! We demand @nyc-dot.bsky.social finish the last block of this project on Ashland Pl between Lafayette and Flatbush this year. Please sign our petition here: tiny.cc/closethegap #crashland

Join us and other great community organizations for Sustainable Sunday at the Flatbush Food Co-op, April 27. Bring your e-waste and papers for shredding, and then chat with us about how street designs that are safe and effective for people to get around also sustain a healthy planet and environment!

"It’s like the hardest fought block in Brooklyn. A bike network is only as strong as its weakest link."

@nyc.streetsblog.org wrote up the situation on Ashland, where the city is still failing to complete the Ashland Pl protected bike lane, despite strong unanimous support from local electeds and the community board: nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/04/03/c... Sign our petition here: tiny.cc/closethegap

@nyc-dot.bsky.social must commit to true streetscape improvements on Atlantic Ave as @chiosse.bsky.social and CM Hudson insisted at this week's Council hearing! @sophlebo.bsky.social continues her great coverage of AAMUP in @nyc.streetsblog.org: nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/03/28/c...

"Open Streets are critical components of our city's public realm and streetscape, offering vital community programs and gathering space," @council.nyc.gov and Mayor Adams need to fund Open Streets!

We’re so close to having a completely protected bike route that runs from Sunset Park to the Manhattan Bridge. That’s a pretty big deal!
