Which Mayoral Candidate Is the Legit “Bike Candidate”?
Sal Albanese
As usual, the truly progressive candidate—the one de Blasio is trying so hard to be—is the one no one’s paying attention to. “Unlike our opponents, Sal has never wavered in support of bike lanes,” spokesperson Todd Brogan told us. “He supports the Prospect Park [West] lane, wants to expand protected lanes throughout the five boroughs, and wants to see CitiBike expanded, too.” According to his full transportation plan, which you can read here, he also wants to “convert underused street space into pedestrian plazas, improving the flow of vehicle traffic and giving New Yorkers new public spaces to congregate and rest,” as well as implement the use of speed cameras. Sounds good to us! [photo]
