Recently Councilwoman Gale Brewer (Manhattan not Brooklyn) said “New Yorkers should be able to go to the park without worrying about motor vehicle traffic” and she proposed a bill that prevents motorists from driving in Prospect Park at all times. Currently, the only time the Park Drive is open to motorists is on weekdays, northbound from 7 a.m. – 9 a.m. and southbound from 5 p.m. – 7 p.m. Brooklyn Borough President Markowitz said “In many respects, the goal of having a car-free Prospect Park is a laudable one.  However, as the borough president I must represent all Brooklyn residents, including those who drive through Prospect Park as well as those who reside near the park that may be negatively impacted by additional restrictions.  This schedule was decided on jointly by the Office of the Brooklyn Borough President, the Brooklyn City Council delegation, Prospect Park Alliance, the NYC Department of Transportation and the NYC Police Department. I agree with Mayor Bloomberg in opposing changes proposed under this new bill, and believe the existing limited access for automobiles in Prospect Park sufficiently balances the needs of all users.” So what do you think about cars in Prospect Park?
