The 72 St. bike lane is blocked for 30-45 minutes 2x/day by a small number of parents who drive their children to school.
This is an access point for the Shore Road Promenade. Right now bicyclists have the choice of riding on a narrow sidewalk or the entrance ramp to the Belt Parkway (where there is a curb cut to get to the path below). Neither option is ideal. There needs to be a clearly labelled bike path here.
Bay Ridge Parkway should have a bike lane. Ideally it should be protected from from Shore Road to Bay Parkway. If that's not achievable right now, at a minimum, the section near the Gowanus Expressway overpass between Seventh Ave (S/B) and Fort Hamilton Parkway needs physical separation from traffic–even if it means eliminating parking spaces. This is the only section of the road that is still two lanes in each direction. As a result, people riding bikes are often pinched between moving traffic and the row of parked cars.
The 4th avenue bike lane should extend into Bay Ridge once completed. Having a safe way to travel north directly is very important to expanding cycling options in Bay Ridge!
