Adams recently held a town hall where members of the neighborhood’s Hasidic community criticized the bike lane.

Two weeks ago, Adams held a town hall in Williamsburg where numerous members of the neighborhood’s Hasidic community criticized the bike lane. They cited a viral video where a person riding an e-bike crashed into a young child who dashed into the bike lane from a double parked car.

An online petition against the redesigned bike lane titled “DOT: Please Stop the Murder of our Children” has more than 3,000 signatures.

    I agree. Turn the entire block pedestrian only. People can walk their bikes to the next bike lane.

    Children are protected from bikes and cars!
