A far-left, car-hating Brooklyn pol is pushing a bill that would create 1 million square feet of new “pedestrian space” to the Big Apple annually over the next five years. The legislation, introduced Tuesday by Democratic Councilman Lincoln Restler, fails to estimate how many parking spaces and driving lanes would be lost through the scheme — and city transportation officials couldn’t either. However, it would require the city Department of Transportation to include Restler’s proposal — which seeks new pedestrian plazas, curb extensions and other car-free space — as the agency’s “benchmark” in its next five-year “Streets Master Plan” due in December.
