What happened
The Department of Transportation is beginning a major infrastructure upgrade to install bus and protected bike lanes on two major crosstown streets in Brooklyn. Starting this fall, the work will affect DeKalb Avenue and Lafayette Avenue. The upgrades include offset bus lanes, barrier-protected bike lanes, and curbside bus lanes, which will operate during specific hours.
