We need new bridges and that’s what I’ve been planning while cooped up during the epidemic. And how do we explain to Jerseyites, sorry folks, no way for you to bike from Jersey City, Weehawken or Hoboken directly to Manhattan’s business district. I understand getting another lane on the Queensboro is in the works, and the City Council will be announcing a winning design for retrofitting the Brooklyn Bridge by the end of the month.īut, it won’t be enough if we are to grow bike-share from Brooklyn and Queens to Manhattan from 0.5% to the city’s goal of 10% by mid-century. Whether traveling for work, errands or recreation, please consider walking, biking or taking public transportation whenever.

Buses, Access-A-Ride vehicles, and motorcycles may also use these lanes, per New York City Traffic Rules Section 4-07 (k). Answer 1 of 4: 'NYC DOT designates the busiest traffic days of the year as Gridlock Alert Days. Motorists must follow posted regulations regarding the number of passengers required and hours of operation.

I re-engineered the ped-bike paths on the Manhattan Bridge and “saved” the Williamsburg. New York Citys high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes provide a faster option for drivers with passengers.

When I was at NYC DOT, I converted car lanes for bikes and peds on the Ed Koch-Queensboro, and the Brooklyn end of the Brooklyn Bridge. It’s not an either-or, we should do both.
