MCDONALD AVENUE TWO-WAY PROTECTED BIKE LANE AND FEWER TRAFFIC LANES, 10TH AVENUE TO FORT HAMILTON PARKWAY: FEEDBACK SOLICITED ON AN UPDATED PROPOSAL

 
McDonald Avenue Bike Lane Workshop
Wednesday, August 26th
6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. 
 
The public's input is wanted on a revised version of the original proposal for McDonald Avenue from 10th Avenue to Fort Hamilton Parkway.
 
That original proposal called for a two-way protected bike lane alongside Green-Wood Cemetery, two parking lanes, and three traffic lanes (one in each direction and a center lane for turns).
 
The bike lane would connect the existing protected bike lanes on 20th Street and Fort Hamilton Parkway, creating a continuous connection between the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway and Prospect Park. 
 
Presented to Community Board 7 in June 2025, that proposal was revised based on feedback from the public.
 
The revised proposal will be shared at a virtual workshop next Wednesday, and a new round of feedback will be solicited. The workshop will be held in advance of a future Department of Transportation presentation to Community Board 7. The date of that presentation hasn't been announced yet. 
 
Next week's workshop will be held on Wednesday, August 26th, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. It will be virtual only, with participation either on Zoom or by phone.
