Appeals Court Clears Final Legal Obstacle to Bedford Avenue Bike Lane Removal

In a major development, a New York State appeals court has ruled in favor of the City, allowing the Adams administration to proceed with the removal of the protected bike lane along a three-block stretch of Bedford Avenue, between Willoughby and Flushing Avenues.

This marks the final legal decision after weeks of back-and-forth litigation between the City and bike lane advocates, effectively ending efforts to preserve the protected lane.
