This week DOT continues its series of public workshops on the plan to add protected bike lanes to Brooklyn’s Fourth Avenue, which connects Bay Ridge, Sunset Park, and Park Slope.

Crashes markedly declined on Fourth after DOT installed a road diet in 2012, bringing a modicum of order to what was six lanes of speeding motorized traffic. As the city prepared to make the new configuration permanent, City Council Member Carlos Menchaca encouraged DOT to include protected bike lanes.

The public got its first look at the draft redesign in the spring. DOT has said it intends to conduct extensive outreach for the project, and on Wednesday the agency will solicit feedback in Sunset Park.
