Brooklyn streets should be safer and easier to get around by bus and bike. @cmcrystalhudson.bsky.social, @chiosse.bsky.social, @cmrestler.bsky.social, and @bkbpreynoso.bsky.social all agree: It's time to redesign Dekalb and Lafayette for people.

@tabk.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Last month we sent a letter to the @mayor.nyc.gov and @nyc-dot.bsky.social urging them to prioritize a people first redesign of Dekalb and Lafayette, providing faster buses, safe east/west bike routes, and safer intersections. Our local elected officials joined in signing.

For more on the history of this proposed network and DOT's delays, see this thread we posted last year. We're looking forward to finally seeing these improvements on our streets! bsky.app/profile/flat...

Flatbush Streets for People@flatbushstreetsforpeople.com · last yr.

Our campaign, along with @tabk.bsky.social and CM Rita Joseph, sent a letter to @nyc-dot.bsky.social and the Mayor urging them to protect bicyclists and all users of the streets in our neighborhoods, calling out almost a decade of inaction from the city: flatbushstreetsforpeople.com/uploads/flat...

We're also pleased to see commitment to acting on other long-delayed projects. The delays we've seen in this project aren't unique to this neighborhood. The same pattern has happened around the city in recent years. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/n...

Mamdani to Resurrect Bus and Bike Lanes Killed by Eric Adams

We are excited to hear that @mayor.nyc.gov is prioritizing the long-delayed bike lane network in Flatbush, East Flatbush, and Midwood. We have been advocating for this network for years, both to protect cyclists and to improve safety for all road users in our neighborhoods.

TABK members were out yesterday trimming trees along the Bedford Ave protected bike lane! Citizen Pruners can legally help keep our trees in good shape :) The people care about this bike lane!! @nyc-dot.bsky.social @nycgovparks.org @nyc.streetsblog.org @chiosse.bsky.social @mayor.nyc.gov

Court Street rocks!!

Not only do boulders ensure pedestrian islands remain for pedestrians (not cars), but they also provide a much needed place to sit. In a world where benches and public seating are basically nonexistent, the boulders offer a welcome reprieve for dogs and humans alike!

We're really disappointed to hear that the bike lane network in Community District 14, including protected bike lanes on Cortelyou and Dorchester Roads, will not be installed this year as DOT originally presented. We're hearing they're targeting installation for next year.

Come out tomorrow to support safer streets streets at tomorrow's CB9 meeting:

On Wednesday, a pedestrian was struck and killed by a box truck on Morgan Ave near Cooper Park. Members of the community are gathering tonight for an emergency action in response to this tragedy - both to honor the life lost and to call on the city to take urgent steps to make Morgan Ave safe.

It's really hazardous how narrow the new Brooklyn Bridge bike lane is when you get a flat in the middle of the bridge like I just did, cc @nyc.streetsblog.org @tabk.bsky.social @bikenewyork.bsky.social There's not space to walk the bike to somewhere safe to fix it alongside two-way bike travel.

Streetsblog made a great video explaining why there's a gap in the bike lane on Ashland Place! #crashland We're gonna keep fighting until we get this fixed! You can show your support here: tiny.cc/closethegap

NYC built a two-way bike lane on Brooklyn's Ashland Place back in 2023... so why isn't it done yet? You can thank former mayoral aide Ingrid Lewis-Martin, and her meddling on behalf of a developer 👀 youtube.com/shorts/2PbQo...

Happy to see @bradlander.bsky.social and @davecolon.bsky.social highlight #Crashland! "Lander noted the chaos the Adams approach brought as he biked down Ashland Place ... where City Hall chose backroom lobbying from real estate interests over safety." nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/04/17/t...

The hearing for @cmjuliewon.bsky.social's Intro 1138 to make universal daylighting the law in NYC is one week away! I'm thrilled that my representative CM Hudson sponsors this bill — and I look forward to seeing her fight to get it across the finish line. NYC needs universal daylighting!

We're just a week away from @council.nyc.gov's hearing on Intro 1138 to make universal daylighting the law in NYC. Thank you council member @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social for sponsoring this bill — NYC needs universal daylighting!

TABK was out this weekend in support of closing the gap Ashland/Navy protected bike lane! We demand @nyc-dot.bsky.social finish the last block of this project on Ashland Pl between Lafayette and Flatbush this year. Please sign our petition here: tiny.cc/closethegap #crashland

Join us and other great community organizations for Sustainable Sunday at the Flatbush Food Co-op, April 27. Bring your e-waste and papers for shredding, and then chat with us about how street designs that are safe and effective for people to get around also sustain a healthy planet and environment!

@nyc-dot.bsky.social must commit to true streetscape improvements on Atlantic Ave as @chiosse.bsky.social and CM Hudson insisted at this week's Council hearing! @sophlebo.bsky.social continues her great coverage of AAMUP in @nyc.streetsblog.org: nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/03/28/c...

City Won't Commit to Safer Walking and Biking on Atlantic Avenue Despite Upcoming Rezoning - Streetsblog New York City

Council Members Chi Ossé and Crystal Hudson say a traffic safety redesign is a precondition for their support for rezoning Atlantic Avenue.

On Wednesday, the full @bkcb02 voted to recommend @nyc-dot.bsky.social and @CMCrystalHudson complete the 2-way protected bike lane on Ashland Pl! There is broad community support for this project, and we are happy cb2 took a strong stance urging the city to close the gap!

"Open Streets are critical components of our city's public realm and streetscape, offering vital community programs and gathering space," @council.nyc.gov and Mayor Adams need to fund Open Streets!

Open streets are a refuge for me - places to meet up more safely outdoors and a small breath of fresh air among NYC's primarily car-dominated streets. City government needs to make sure this incredible vibrant program has what it needs to thrive. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/03/14/o...

We’re so close to having a completely protected bike route that runs from Sunset Park to the Manhattan Bridge. That’s a pretty big deal!
