Williamsburg, Brooklyn NY - Bikers Rack Up Prime Spot At Train Station.
Williamsburg, Brooklyn NY - The city for the first time has removed street parking spots to free up space for bicycle racks, creating a park-and-ride hub for cyclists outside the Bedford Ave. subway station on the L line in Williamsburg.
City Transportation Department workers on Tuesday anchored six large bike racks to a concrete slab extending from the sidewalk into N. Seventh St. - another sign of the department's focus on giving a higher priority to cycling and encouraging motorists to leave their cars at home.
"It's the first time but certainly not the last that we will be removing space for cars to make space for more eco-friendly alternatives," department spokeswoman Molly Gordy said. "We will be looking for more subway stations that lend themselves to doing this." [dailynews]
