Studio NA proposed a bold notion of "cycling through walls," in which bike lanes are applied to appropriated vacant space in Red Hook's urban blocks.  This proposal would result in the creation of a bike traffic grid parallel to the auto street grid, offering uncompromised, smooth, navigability.  This grid would cross boundaries and create positive, new connections, including the stitching of the Red Hook homes back into the urban fabric.

A new bicycle and pedestrian bridge is proposed that spans the Gowanus Canal, connecting the neighborhoods on either side. Further reinforcing the bicycle advantage, the bike loft is located at the apex of the bridge with an adjacent connection to the existing elevated train platform for preferred access.  This proposed facility becomes an icon for a new bicycle commuter-based urbanism.
