> Now more Brooklynites can ride both ways.
> For the past month, what the Brooklyn Paper calls " the city's best 
> bike lane 
> <http://www.brooklynpaper.com/stories/32/38/32_38_gk_kent_avenue_bike_lane_video.html>" 
> has been under construction in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. When work is 
> done, the two-way protected facility that runs along the west side of 
> Kent Avenue will link the Brooklyn Navy Yard to Greenpoint with 
> connections to the Williamsburg Bridge as well as City and State parks.
>
> It is a groundbreaking, low-cost design that separates two-way bike 
> traffic from cars with paint and a parking lane. What's more, it's on 
> its way to Park Slope.
>
> Next spring, the DOT will begin work on installing a similar lane 
> along Prospect Park West, between Union Street and Bartel Pritchard 
> Square. That lane will not only provide cyclists with a two-way route 
> along Prospect Park, but also help calm traffic along a notoriously 
> speedy street.
>
> With this great new design in its repertoire, we'll be pushing the DOT 
> to make sure that world-class bike facilities continue to spring up 
> around the city. How about Queens, the Bronx or Staten Island?
