A Brooklyn Supreme Court judge tossed out a lawsuit against the Court Street protected bike lane on Monday, rejecting an attempt by a local business group to kill the project, according to Streetsblog.
Justice Inga O'Neale dismissed the lawsuit by the Court Street Merchants Association, according to a court notice, though the full decision was not immediately posted, the news site reported.
The business group – backed by longtime local businesses including a hardware store, a café, and a vintage shop — wanted the city Department of Transportation to downgrade the redesign to an unprotected bike lane for more "maneuverability," Streetsblog said.
The protected bike lanes and other safety measures on Court Street are largely finished.
