This Just In…

From someone who was there:

CB6’s transportation committee tonight passed a unanimous resolution supporting the recommendations put forth by DOT to implement pedestrian islands and low-profile rumble strips, and narrow the buffer near Grand Army Plaza.  There was some additional language about aiming to have the islands reflect the area’s historic character, to try to find more parking spaces (deferring to safety first, however), and a couple other tweaks…

This is really great news.  The Prospect Park West bike lane has been a community-driven process from the very beginning and continues to be one even now.  More tomorrow, although not so much from me as I’m on a tight deadline for work.  I’m sure the amazing Ben Fried at Streetsblog will be on the case with all the details.
