Defending the Prospect Park West bike lane isn't cheap

The article explains that the city is arguing weather the Prospect  Park's bike lane was a good idea or a bad one. The article says " the city has already spent $140,000 defending the prospect Park West bike lane- and that number is expected to increase after opponents of the path filed an appeal" by the Brooklyn Paper. On one side the lawsuit argued that the bike lane turned the peaceful street into a hazardous place for pedestrians t o walk by.  On the other hand people like Jim Walden, who was actually an opponent of the bike lane, said that the people " have a right to appeal"..."This is America"..."Get real".  Which means that the bike lane idea should be up to the people and/ or the citizens around Prospect Park.  People have gathered around the park saying that there is not enough space for the cars to park with the bike lanes.  Other say that the lanes give other advantages to to people without cars and there is just enough room for cars too.

I think this article has good and bad point in it, but it looks like people complain more than go for the idea.  I really do agree.  I think having a bike lane a t Prospect Park is a good idea and it gives many advantages to people.   I think that if its already there then just leave it there.  Also it is helping our environment, by telling people that there can be another way to travel besides by car.  Another thing is that I think that it is the peoples choice whether they like the bike lane there or not.  Something I wondered was: how far will they make the bike lane and does it go around the whole park?
