Quaglione calls for community board approval for new bike lanes in Bay Ridge
City Council candidate John Quaglione has a plan to curtail excessive ticketing practices for cars or trucks temporarily stopped in bike lanes. He announced his proposal at a Tuesday press conference held at 92nd Street and Fort Hamilton Parkway in Bay Ridge. Currently any vehicle that is over the solid white lines on either side of a bike lane is subject to a ticket that cannot be contested or dismissed.
And that applies to cars double-parked in order to drop off or pick up children from school, trucks making their deliveries along the avenue or to someone stopped to help an elderly passenger into their vehicle. This has caused havoc for residents in the community, especially local business owners.
