This Week: NBBL Get Their Day in Court
The most significant transportation-related event this week will likely be Wednesday's Brooklyn Supreme Court hearing on the Prospect Park West bike lane lawsuit. Judge Bert Bunyan is expected to consider the bike lane opponents' main legal arguments for the first time at this hearing. We don't have the exact time or room number for the hearing though, so it's not on the calendar yet.

The most significant transportation-related event this week will likely be Wednesday’s Brooklyn Supreme Court hearing on the Prospect Park West bike lane lawsuit. Judge Bert Bunyan is expected to consider the bike lane opponents’ main legal arguments for the first time at this hearing. We don’t have the exact time or room number for the hearing though, so it’s not on the calendar yet.
Also on the agenda this week: new plans for public plazas and the start of a process to improve transit service to LaGuardia.
