""These redesigns make our streets work for people and encourage our youngest neighbors to grow into lifelong riders," Mamdani said in a statement after his ride on Wednesday."
""Now, we're building a city that meets that vision," Mamdani added, highlighting the importance of better cycling infrastructure for families."
""The portion of Bergen and Dean west of Flatbush Avenue often have far more bike traffic than car traffic, yet three full lanes are devoted to the movement and storage of cars and trucks.""
The Mamdani administration plans to convert Bergen and Dean streets in Brooklyn into bike boulevards to improve safety for cyclists. These streets are vital for daily cyclists accessing the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. Mayor Mamdani emphasized the importance of creating a city that supports cycling, especially for children. While design details are pending, the administration aims to release a proposal later this year, with the first phase expected to be implemented by 2027. Current road usage shows a higher volume of bike traffic compared to cars in certain areas.
