Quote of the Day

Will a potential de Blasio administration result in the removal of the Prospect Park West bike lane?  Transportation Nation has the answer:

“No.” – Bill de Blasio spokesperson Dan Levitan.

So there you have it: the most concise campaign promise of the mayoral election so far.

Of course, the real danger isn’t so much that the world’s most popular bike lane will be removed but that the expansion of New York’s bike lane network will slow down in the years ahead, despite de Blasio’s claim that he wants to see bike lanes “expand around the city.”  Stagnation, not contraction, is my greatest fear.
