After two last-minute appeals from safe street advocates, a state appellate court panel ruled on Monday afternoon that Mayor Eric Adams could rip out a three-block stretch of protected bike lane on Bedford Avenue from Willoughby Avenue to Flushing Avenue. Adams's Department of Transportation, which installed the bike lane barely nine months ago, began the demolition late Wednesday night. "It's really sad to see [the removal of] a safety project that has been fought for by a whole host of com…
Crash data from the DOT showed that the entire protected lane on Bedford, which separated bicyclists from traffic with a barrier of parked cars and stone blocks, reduced overall injuries by 47 percent. But Mayor Adams's decision to kill the lane was ultimately about politics, not safety. This past spring, members of the local Orthodox Jewish community, many of whom opposed the bike lane's installation in the first place, became incensed after several close calls between e-bike riders and chi…

The actual removal of the bike lane was extremely loud and agonizingly slow. A massive truck obliterated less than a third of the bright green line on Bedford Avenue between Willoughby and Myrtle Avenues in about an hour of work, as a worker watched to make sure no debris got caught in the machine. Two bicyclists whisked by after 11 p.m. realizing—mid-ride—that the bike lane was being shorn off. One of them turned to their friend, perplexed: "Wait, are they getting rid of this?"
