Eyes on the Street: The Bike Corral Has Arrived in Park Slope

On her way into the office this morning, Streetsblog development manager Christa Orth spotted some fluorescent safety vests as she pedaled up Brooklyn's Fifth Avenue. A DOT crew was out in front of local coffee shop Gorilla Coffee, which had agreed to maintain a new bike corral in front of their store. One parking space is being replaced with room for about eight bikes -- or as Gorilla might call them, seven new customers.

New York's first bike corral was installed last summer. Now it looks like the treatment is really starting to spread.

Here's a look at the finished bike corral, courtesy of Gorilla:
