New Rutland/Kingston/Fenimore bike lanes in East Flatbush/PLG

Despite "community" opposition, DOT has been pouring concrete and marking new bike lanes around Wingate Park/High School.

Lines are painted, and these new lanes are rideable (though the protected segments still need fresh Kermit):

  • Kingston Av 2-way protected from Winthrop to Rutland
  • Kingston Av n/b protected from Rutland to E New York
  • Rutland Rd e/b unprotected from Flatbush to Brooklyn Av
  • Rutland Rd e/b protected from Brooklyn to Kingston
  • Fenimore st w/b unprotected from Brooklyn to Flatbush

Still to come are:

  • Brooklyn Av s/b protected from E New York to Rutland
  • Brooklyn Av 2-way protected from Rutland to Winthrop
  • Winthrop w/b protected from Kingston to Brooklyn

When completed, the project will add 1.2 miles of new protected bike lanes and 1.6 miles of new unprotected bike lanes.

Signed order to show cause (with TRO crossed out) is HERE. Court will have a hearing on July 6th, but in the meantime, DOT can keep working.

31st St Opponents Just Moved to Halt New Work and Hold DOT in Contempt

Full motion papers are here. Sounds like the opponents and the city will be in court on Thursday arguing whether the judge should issue a temporary retraining order.
