Even if you can’t pronounce the name, cyclists can breathe a sigh of relief on the newly fortified Schermerhorn Street bike lane following a major overhaul of the Downtown Brooklyn thoroughfare.
“This redesign of Schermerhorn St represents a complete transformation of the look and feel of the corridor,” said city Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez. “This used to be a chaotic two way street with rampant double parking. The standard bike lanes were often blocked, forcing cyclists to mix with vehicles in traffic. So DOT converted this street to one way, creating safe, parking protected bicycle lanes that separate cyclists from traffic.
The cause of improving the lane was championed by local City Councilmember Lincoln Restler, who earlier this yearwherein any cyclist who could ride the whole stretch of Schermerhorn without ever leaving the bike lane, even if blocked, would win $100. Despite spending 41 minutes attempting to bike four blocks, Restler ultimately failed the challenge due to the prevalence of illegally-parked cars, often with city-issued placards on the dash.
