The more-controversial-than-wiretapping Williamsburg bike lane along Kent Avenue wasn't even on the agenda at last night's Brooklyn CB1 meeting, but that didn't stop lane-haters and lane-lovers from crashing the proceedings and arguing over the dismissal of the lane-supporting chair of the Transportation Committee. Said outgoing Executive Committee Chairman Vincent "Vinny" Abate: "I've got four months to go; I don't want to leave a fractured board. I'm not telling you right now what I'm doing, but I never leave an organization with unfinished business, and this is unfinished business... Don't worry about it." Can we just assume that's a transcription error and he actually said fuhgeddaboutit? [Gothamist, previous]
