The Daily News says that under the proposed plan
drivers - who currently are only allowed in the park during rush hour using two lanes - would be crammed into one ten-foot wide slice of Park Drive.
Bikers, meanwhile, would share a 10-foot wide lane, splitting it between slower riders and those moving at speeds.

Directions to the Picnic House: Enter the Park at 5th Street and Prospect Park West, follow the path next to the Villa, down the stairs and across the drive to the Picnic House.
