Easter Sunday update: Mid-Late afternoon ride. Lot's of runners, skaters, pedestrians, etc. There was at least one NYPD van and they didn't seem to care about cyclists blowing through reds. I actually wished they did on certain occasions because some of these riders were doing so without regarding the safety of pedestrians and other park users.
I've personally been very diligent about giving peds the right of way. Usually they're pleasant enough wave me through, which is nice. I recognize them, they recognize me, everyone is safe and goes along their day.
