Two weeks ago, Adams held a town hall in Williamsburg where numerous members of the neighborhood’s Hasidic community criticized the bike lane. They cited a viral video where a person riding an e-bike crashed into a young child who dashed into the bike lane from a double parked car.

An online petition against the redesigned bike lane titled “DOT: Please Stop the Murder of our Children” has more than 3,000 signatures.

I mean we see this all the time with cars when they hit people. Cities are always removing the street as a response. They realize hey this isn't a safe place for cars so lets get rid of them from this area. So at least they are consistent.
