PARK SLOPE — It's been nearly a year since cars were banned from the west side of Prospect Park, but a city map released Monday failed to note the change.
Prospect Park's West Drive is marked as open to vehicle traffic from 5 to 7 p.m. on weekdays on the Department of Transportation's 2016 NYC Bike Map, even after cars were banned 24 hours a day seven days a week from the park road in July 2015.
The map typo raised the ire of cycling advocates, some of whom fought for more than a decade to rid Brooklyn's backyard of cars.
Unbelievable. @NYC_DOT has car-free hours for West Dr of Prospect Park wrong on new #bikenyc map. It's closed 24/7. pic.twitter.com/150qXbrCjx

A DOT spokeswoman told DNAinfo New York on Monday that the agency was aware of the error and was looking into it.
The 2016 city bike map lists a similar mistake for Central Park, where car-free hours were also listed incorrectly.
In Prospect Park, cars are still allowed on East Drive (the park road that runs inside the park along Flatbush and Ocean Avenue) from 7 to 9 a.m. on weekdays. On weekends, cars are banned entirely from the park.
