diency rather than safety.
“We feel that this is an unsafe
plan, there are too many
driveways on that side. It’s
more dangerous for the bicyclists,
not for the drivers. We
would like them to explore the
other options in this proposal,”
said Laurie Windsor. “They
said it’s the easiest, cheapest,
and quickest way to do it.
They’re not taking into account
when Target goes in next year
— what’s going to happen then?
It’s like playing with fi re.”
The board’s district manager
sent a letter to the department’s
Brooklyn head, detailing
the unsafe conditions that
she believed would arise from
vehicle operators attempting
to turn onto a one-way road, by
crossing a bike lane with cyclists
traveling in the opposite
direction.
“This plan as presented provides
no protection to cyclists
along this heavily traveled
commercial and manufacturing
segment, relies on motorists
checking both right and left
for bicyclists while waiting for a
lull in oncoming traffi c, and reduces
visibility,” said Marnee
Elias-Pavia.
Elias-Pavia requested the
department consider other options,
but said her concerns
were ignored by department
reps, who were steadfast in
their decisions.
“We wanted them to look
at other options. We wanted
them to look at the other side of
the road,” she said. “But, they
thought the south side would be
easier.”
The department plans to begin
work sometime this summer,
according to Elias-Pavia,
who felt that any further attempts
to change the department’s
plan were hopeless.
“I don’t think there is a next
step,” she said. “They weren’t
all that interested in us having
a say. They told us what they
were going to do, and they’re going
to do it.”
