Yes, buffered bike lanes. There is already one on 2nd Ave between 14th St and Delancey Street. Unfortunately, they attract pedestrians and slow cyclists down significantly. There were already crashes as cyclists run into peds who suddenly stepped into the bike lane or were waiting off-curb for a light. Basically, it's become a sidewalk extension. Plus, cars still park in these lanes and now it's so much harder to go around them. Although, they get ticketed fast by Traffic cops.
