There are so many residents (not myself) that rely on their vehicles and where will they park? There is limited public parking in NYC, they need to stop tearing it up without thinking for the sake of businesses, visitors and residents. I noticed that of course, where there is an outdoor dining shack, the parking was still allowed. Are the bikes supposed to just dissolve?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-10975452157455672492021-08-09T13:17:11.631-04:002021-08-09T13:17:11.631-04:00You can't go east west on 12th/13th without fi...You can't go east west on 12th/13th without finding car/truck parked right in the bike lanes. It's a joke. Pedestrians step into the bike lanes anticipating the light change. Utter chaos.

The city was organized around commerce and the defense of the City. This is just more Elite planning to turn us into euroturdland- rich people and masked servants. These educrats want to remove individual autonomy and force everyone onto the data collecting "citbikes" or "uber". I haven't seen a single new place to lock up my owned bike in years, and most of those are made unusable by bike shells, seemingly as if on purpose. but they stand to make a LOT of money!

Bus riders will have a faster ride thanks to improvements that will be implemented on Avenue d and Avenue A (although only south of 6th Street which is pretty laughable).<br />Now we just need the city to create a real Open Street on Avenue B.
