Here is a report form the clown ride on the Kent Ave. bike lane in Brooklyn from Gothamist.com
One commenter on Gothamist responded about the proposed greenway in Williamsburg, which could be a welcome alternative to inefficient bike lanes. Included is a link to the brooklyn greenway website.
#2: There is a proposed greenway from Greenway to Redhook that has been on the drawing board for a long, long time.
I can’t remember if Kent is actually part of that greenway or not but people have been trying to get a safe path from north to south brooklyn through for years.
There’s details here:

Yea man, we should be pleased w the HUGE leaps and bounds the city has taken with parks, greenways and bike lanes over the past few yrs… They really threw a lot of cash at those developments… I would imagine these new proposals will be shot down, as they should be, to spend money in more appropriate places now that we’re cutting back so drastically…
