Bikes: two blacks, a blue and a white.

I'm a proponent of bike lanes, and I agree with you about putting some limits on the bike lane. It's just getting a little too crazy for folks to cross the street. Pedal powered riders have been "a challenge" for quite a few years - my coworker got hit walking in a crosswalk, with the light, and spent 2 weeks on crutches. Now every delivery person is flying up the avenue, in the bike lane, on an ebike at 20+ mph. Every commuter train car has someone toting an e-scooter into Penn or GC. It's here to stay, and that's OK, but... I don't see any reason to allow motorized transport in the bike lane. Even for pure human power, there will eventually need to be some enforcement on basic rules of the road. Not sure how they're gonna do that in a sustainable way.
