Rode through the park this morning on my way to a meeting and low and behold....
Most of the largest areas with problems have been "smoothed over". The quality of the work is lacking in some places but its better than it was.

Mayor de Blasio and the Parks Department’s Parks Without Borders initiative will fund $50 million in improvements to city parks to make them more open, accessible and inviting to their surrounding communities. $40 million has already been allocated, but the remaining $10 million of funding is still available, and will be awarded to projects based on community input.
ONE OF THE PROPOSALS IS TO REPAVE PROSPECT PARK LOOP. I would encourage you all to vote for this improvement.
To do so:
1. Visit the Parks Without Borders website
2. Zoom in on Prospect Park in the map there
3. Click on the green outline of Prospect Park in the map
4. A bunch of check boxes will appear ... check "Repair paving"
5. In the box below "Describe what you would like to see in this area (optional)" type something along the lines of: "Please repave the Prospect Park Loop, which has fallen into terrible disrepair and is covered with numerous large, dangerous potholes."
6. Hit Submit.

Bugger all that. Park is hiring GOATS to tend the lawn. What could possibly go wrong?

There goes my built in excuse for not finishing a 1/2/3 race...
Apr 04, 2016 at 06:57 PM
What's the latest on the repaving work?
Apr 04, 2016 at 08:43 PM
On Sunday, it was like butter to 9th street, and then like ropey pahoehoe to the bottom of the downhill.
Apr 06, 2016 at 01:02 AM
Anyone happen to scope out the scenario as of tonight?
Apr 06, 2016 at 01:58 AM
Yeah, I'm wondering: is it possible yet to ride complete loops, or are there still sections that are entirely off limits?
Apr 06, 2016 at 02:02 AM
Well I'm up for finding out tomorrow morning.
Apr 06, 2016 at 02:31 PM
Check the other PP thread for my update on the surface. I would say that as long as they aren't actually working on the road (0700-1700) the full loop is perfectly rideable.
Apr 15, 2016 at 04:08 PM
Got stopped by an officer at PP last night. Immediately started racking my brain; no red lights ran, headlight/tail light in full working order, helmet etc etc etc...turns out he just wanted cycling "tips"

I saw a commuter pulled over by a cop in PP Thursday morning at around 9 AM, right before the hill. I didn't see the cyclist run a light but I'm guessing by the look on the guys face, he was getting a ticket.

Amazing 
love it.
It's my personal goal to get as many cops in bikes as possible. It will
make them better cops!

would take years, but would be great.
I'd be surprised if it goes thru. Other than the manhattan bridge, the cycling solutions for bridges in New York City, specially the Brooklyn Bridge and George Washington Bridge, are a complete embarrassment and a total failure of NYC urban planning.
