Former City Department of Transportation Commissioner Iris Weinshall has jumped into the fight against the Prospect Park West bike lane, reports our Erin Durkin:
Weinshall, who lives in Park Slope with her husband, U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer, has told critics “she is strongly opposed” to the lane, a source said.
She attended one of two meetings opponents held earlier this week to plot strategy to derail the lane, sources said.
Weinshall and Schumer’s two daughters also joined a Facebook group opposed to the lane.
The Giuliani appointee, who served as commissioner from 2000 to 2007, declined to comment yesterday. “I have nothing to say about that,” Weinshall said.
