FHP BIKE PATH OPEN


As of yesterday morning, a bike path running from Prospect Circle to the intersection of Fort Hamilton Parkway and McDonald Avenue is officially "open for business." The aqua-colored line on the lower left side of the diagram shows its route.

The overpass over the Prospect Expressway that leads to Fort Hamilton Parkway now has
a left lane for cars and a right lane for bikes, with a concrete barrier between them. Fort Hamilton Parkway also has a car lane on the left and a bike lane on the right.

As of this afternoon, some cyclists are still riding on the sidewalk, and a car that was traveling in the bike lane abruptly crossed in front of a car in the left lane to go to the gas station. Whether you're a driver, a cyclist, or a pedestrian, please be careful!
