Mayor Mamdani Announces Bike Boulevards for Brooklyn's Bergen and Dean Streets to Enhance Cyclist Safety
Mayor Zohran Mamdani has announced plans to develop 10-mile 'bike boulevards' along Bergen and Dean Streets in Brooklyn. This initiative aims to prioritize cyclists and pedestrians while maintaining local vehicle access. The New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) will redesign these streets, which serve as key cycling corridors, to include features such as protected bike lanes, sidewalk extensions, and traffic-calming measures. The project is in its early stages, with public outreach beginning through an online feedback portal. The redesign is part of broader bike-related initiatives during National Bike Month, including the launch of a secure bike parking program and the release of the 2026 Bike Map.
