What is a "Bike Boulevard"?

33rd Avenue from Utopia Parkway east to Francis Lewis Blvd.

They removed the center lane, but it's still two-way traffic; and they narrowed the traffic lane by painting the white lines for the parked cars, making it more dangerous for the moving vehicles and the bicycles, who are supposed to share the road.

 Unless the ultimate goal is to make it "bikes only"?
 
This is the Department of Transportation Alternatives trying to drive residents crazy on purpose and also malign them for owning their own vehicles, because that sign has no merit. This is not a "bike boulevard" it's what called a "shared street" which I and thousands of others have been riding on for decades before the regulatory captured DOTA came up with a brand for them.

Car totalitarians seem to get all upset when they see a bit of meaningless white paint on a road.
These are not bike lanes, but will be used by the Mayor as part of his propaganda messaging.
The only good thing about these is how much they piss off the car zealots.

There were no car zealots before bike zealots launched multiple attacks on people who need cars. As has been true with many comments by fevered cyclists, your hyperbole fails to convince.

What do you need bike lanes for? As a kid, I rode my bike and followed the rules of the road. In the 1970s and 1980s, most kids had bikes and rode them everywhere with no problems. All these painted lines, delineators, and other obstructions are causing increased traffic congestion and are a waste of taxpayer money.

So you think they are real bike lanes? Dooooofus!

Are those people paying for storing their belongings on the street? Or is that just scrap metal left out for the sanitation department?

All you right-wing trolls have is hate and divisiveness. No logic or reasoned arguments.

I hear he is having a special offer to celebrate the "non bike lanes".
Trade in your hunk of scrap metal and get a free bike in return.

Some some chuckle-head bicycle nazi buy's a sign from another bicycle assholes shop and nails it to a utility pole and wonders why everyone gets pissed off at them?
What really concerning here is the elimination, By DOT or another bicycle weenie, of the center lines. If DOT didn't do it, it malicious vandalism, if DOT DID do it it's stupid and dangerous.

""Shared bike lane is the best place to get in a lethal bike accident""

Has anybody with a car registered in the NYC 5 borough area seen how much insurance has gone through the roof because of these bike idiots getting squished?
Bike operators need to buy insurance, and should not be allowed to sue if an accident their fault. Its costing the insurance company's a fortune that's getting passed down to car & truck operators
Bike zealots stupidity, hospital, ambulance, undertaker & funeral costs should not be carried by car & truck owners.

Im noticing most these bike zealots are hippy like, and speak like Gerry Garcia and typical stoner pot head smokers. You cant have intelligent dialog with them as proven here on this blog. It seems they only wanna insult, to curse and wave "the finger" at people as if everybody is wrong but themselves. Mental illness perhaps?

Question:
Why do the majority of bike zealots wear comic book costumes, neon spandex, green bugs and other stupid looking shit?
---This morning I saw what looked like a pack of villains from 60s TV show Batman going down Greenpoint ave by the Kielbasa store.
