A simple sidewalk widening project in Williamsburg, Brooklyn marks a radical shift in land use policy for New York City.
For the first time ever in New York City, on-street car parking spaces are being eliminated to make way for bicycle parking.
New York City's Department of Transportation says that construction should be completed by the beginning of July, if the weather holds up, and will yield somewhere around 25 new bike parking spaces.
A similar project with even more bike parking has been sketched out for the northwest corner of the intersection as well. The Bedford Avenue L subway station is a popular park-and-ride spot for many bike commuters and has often been the scene of sparks flying as NYPD officers cut bikes off of street furniture with circular saws.
