Overview
- Announced Wednesday, Mayor Zohran Mamdani and NYC DOT opened public outreach and a feedback portal for redesigns from Court Street to East New York Avenue.
- The city will release a design proposal later this year and begin phased installation in 2027.
- Planned elements include protected bike lanes, curb extensions, and medians that DOT says cut severe crashes, with about 18% fewer for all users and 29% for pedestrians.
- The routes carry many bridge-bound cyclists, with Bergen westbound and Dean eastbound, and the mayor joined the weekly Bergen Bike Bus for the rollout.
- DOT will coordinate the work with nearby street and transit projects and looks to recent boulevards on 31st Avenue and Berry Street as guides.
