And because the 11th St protected bike lane & Pulaski Br will remain the de facto greenway link to Brooklyn for the foreseeable future, fixing, filling in & better bike routing at the terrible Jackson Ave/11th St/Pulaski Bridge intersection is imperative

A key issue in this corridor is fixing the discontinuous protected bike lane on Vernon Blvd at Queensbridge Park and associated forced jumps across the boulevard. This has been a problem for a loooong time! #bikenyc #greenways4nyc

We’ve read the decision.
According to the ruling, fire officials complained the 🚲 lane would make it tough to position a ladder truck
But look at the street! With curb parking & subway structure overhead *you can’t get a ladder in there now* The new bike lane would allow that to work [more👇]

Finally, the city stopped kicking #bikenyc off the West Side Greenway during Fleet Week, beginning in 2022. You may consider this a small mercy, but it went on for 20+ years until reason prevailed!

🚲 And we would add that the McGuinness Blvd road diet project was a very assertive pro-safety/quality of street life move, despite it then being subject to all kinds of corruption and unnecessary drama (outside of DOT), and being only half implemented as a result

🚲 Bike speed signal timing on a major avenue. Still confined only to 3rd Ave in Manhattan, but will have huge benefits for safety if widely applied

🚲 Bike lane widening (sorry they are not "double wide" for the most part). We need more! (👀 at Brooklyn)

In the spirit of transition, let's talk about the innovations we did see from NYCDOT's #bikenyc program over the last four years. Amid everything else from the Adams Admin, there were some things!
🚲 The jersey-barrier protection program. This was actually announced on Day 1 of the admin

A rare cab ride for us, but evidence that Local Law 78 (requiring anti-dooring decals in all for-hire-vehicles) is starting to take effect! Thanks @cmjengutierrez.bsky.social @streetspac.org

Here's our vid going dozens of blocks on a single green on Manhattan's 3rd Avenue - signal timing is a non-enforcement way to get a handle on ebike (and 🚘 🚛!!) speeds

It’s now the law that cabs/ubers must display an anti-dooring decal on passenger doors (thanks to @cmjengutierrez.bsky.social).
So if you happen to travel that way, take a look & make a note if it’s not there
(Last night’s fatal crash doesn’t seem to have been a for-hire car)

Council Member @cmrestler.bsky.social reports he is discussing better design for bus stops along the Flushing Ave greenway. Right now the demarcated greenway walking & cycling zones devolve into incoherent sidewalks at the stops. A person getting off a bus was recently killed by an ebike rider

Looks like we’ll finally get the overnight *full bikeway* markings we’ve been 👀 for since spring #morespaceQBB #bikenyc (more pedestrians in the bikeway today)

We were informed late last week that the *Gateway Tunnel project* (NYC-NJ rail connection) will dig up the W Side Greenway betw 29th & 30th Sts next year
Good news is the #bikenyc right of way will be maintained
It doesn't test whether the W Side Hwy can live with fewer lanes - instead it's 🚲 > 🚁

Anyone's guess when other problem spots along the E Side Greenway will be fixed. The Hospital for Special Surgery *private construction* disruption of the greenway was supposed to be done 2 years ago

Anyway, in the *long* term, this is great. It will finally connect the long-stranded waterfront greenway segment between 132nd/145th and connect to a new ramp to the Manhattan-Randall's span of the Triboro

The two-way section on 1st Ave (~103rd to 125th) is working pretty well, in our experience. Bike volume & signal timing are important factors. We aren't enthused about the idea of 2-way 6th in Midtown as a substitute for a 🚲 lane on 5th, for example. (1st is 2-way because of work on 2nd Ave subway)

We need a lot more parking enforcement in NYC. The city has never even looked at the scale of the problem vs the resources it brings to the job. But it has gotten so bad that Council members proposed allowing citizens to submit violations (Council leaders killed that but did nothing else)

The Court Street bike lane (being implemented now) plus the greenway over the Gowanus Canal/under the expressway adds a nice protected corridor to Brooklyn's #bikenyc network

NYC Greenways Coalition members at work, scouting a greenway detour on abandoned Riverside Park pathways near the GWB -- for the day when Amtrak closes (for rebuilding) ye olde wooden plank bridge. It's doable! @transalt.org @ny4p.bsky.social @eastcoastgreenway.bsky.social #Greenways4NYC
