SHARED BIKEWAY AT FIELDS
BPC is building a wall to keep the flood waters off the fields, and to do that work they have compressed the bike lane and walkway alongside the highway there for that one block. It should be restored by the end of November.
BOGARDUS SCAVENGER HUNT IS ON!

NEW CROSSWALK AT PIER 40
The developers of 550 Washington, the new building south of Houston on the highway, are building out a new crosswalk just south of Houston to get their tenants (Google, which just announced they are buying the building) easier access to the park. The Citi Bike station will move a bit closer to Pier 40 as a result, which I think works better for everyone.
NEW SHOW AT THE MUSEUM OF JEWISH HERITAGE
The Museum of Jewish Heritage will open a new show on Oct. 22 titled Boris Lurie: Nothing To Do But To Try, a first-of-its-kind exhibition on the 20th Century artist and Holocaust survivor. This will be the museum’s first contemporary art show. The exhibition is centered around Lurie’s paintings and drawings in his “War Series” as well as never-before-exhibited objects and ephemera from his personal archive, presenting a portrait of the artist reckoning with devastating trauma from his teenage years in Latvia and in Nazi concentration camps, haunting memories, and an elusive, lifelong quest for freedom. The exhibit will run through April 29. Tickets are available now.

Motorcycles and motorized vehicles should not be allowed on the bike path
And bicycles should NOT be allowed on the crowded BPC esplanade
Little kids elderly people on esplanade
Fatality waiting to happen
4 recently on motorcycles drove down esplanade and Brookfield Security Guard pretended not to see
The esplanade is not a highway
Absolutely agree
Strongly agree that bicycles, scooters, skateboards, skates should
not be allowed on the esplanade. So dangerous. I was body
slammed once by a zooming erratic rollerblader, who didn’t even
stop to see if I was OK. This has been a problem for years, even worse now the esplanade is so crowded.
It’s also dangerous for all the pedestrians walking aimlessly reading or texting on their phone. It’s amazing how often I see people creating more problems because they can’t get off their phones while walking, even Mothers pushing their baby carriages crossing the bike path on their phone not looking! Wake up people, bikes aren’t the problem.
