SAFE STREETS OR IFE LAME LANES? DT

Prospect Park’s new roadway redesign would give roughly the same amount of space to cars, cyclists and pedestrians. Transportation advocates say the plan will make the street safer for everyone, but some park advocates argue the proposal will actually make the roadway more chaotic and dangerous. We asked two major players in the issue to give us their thoughts.
