Cyclist Hit by Driver at Vanderbilt and Plaza Street

On Wednesday evening a cyclist was hit by a driver at Vanderbilt and Plaza Street.  I have no idea exactly where the incident occured and whether it was closer to Vanderbilt or on Plaza Street itself.   Nevertheless, there was supposed to be a protected bike lane on Plaza Street but it was shelved, some believe, by the “the fallout from Prospect Park West and the political pushback.”

Even Louise Hainline agrees.  Here’s what she said about it last month:

“If we had not done what we’ve been doing with the bike lanes, they probably would have moved ahead,” said Louise Hainline, president of Neighbors for Better Bike Lanes.
