‘Historic’ Williamsburg Sidewalk Goes in Fast

Williamsburg Sidewalk Two

That bit of sidewalk at Bedford Avenue and N. 7th Street in Williamsburg is going in fast. It’s noteworthy because, according to Streets Blog, it’s the first time in New York City that parking for cars has been cut to make room for parking for bikes. The project was in the making for three years, but now that the city is actually working it, it’s going very quickly. The 560 square feet of new sidewalk space will provide space for 25 bikes at the entrance to the Bedford Avenue L Station.
