    Safer streets. More bike lanes. A solution to the disaster of an intersection between Underhill, Wash., & Atlantic?

    Yes please.

    making the ave safer for everyone would be great, but hopefully they're not talking about one of those big ol' bike lanes that makes everyone angry like they have at prospect park west.

    It's modeled after the lane width and layout of 5th Ave, in the Slope.

    you mean makes a small group of rich and privileged people with political connections angry?

    Of 1000 people polled, over 70% supported the PPW bike lane, and that was just among Park Slope residents, not counting all the bikers and parents with kids who no longer have to deal with a three lane speedway while trying to enjoy the biggest park in the borough.
