Is Prospect Park West bike lane "like Atlantic Yards"?
Atlantic Yards Report
A New York Times article today on the dispute over the Prospect Park West bike lane closes:
“Part of it is, people don’t like anything new,” she said. “New is bad. It’s like Atlantic Yards. And dogs off leash. Like there’s nothing else wrong with the world.”
Except a bike lane, aimed in part at traffic calming, is not so much like a project that would increase traffic.
And a good number of those supporting the bike lane, such as the organization Park Slope Neighbors, don't support Atlantic Yards.
NoLandGrab: Full disclosure — this editor of NLG is a co-founder of Park Slope Neighbors. Also, concomitantly, some of those opposing the bike lane do support Atlantic Yards.
