Awesome job, maybe NYC will finally become bike friendly.
I keep hoping for "the bike lane that makes a difference" on my commute. Alas, nothing yet. Only seen 3 blocks worth of new bike lanes that I use on my commute, 35th St. in Astoria. I only use that on my way home.
I'll give them props for what they've been doing, but I'll save my thank you letter until they fix the Queensboro Bridge bike access issues. UES and east midtown improvements are pretty high on the list for me too. The real clincher for my gushing thank you letter would be to quickly hook up a dedicated bike lane network linking the Queensboro Bridge to places such as:
- Central Park
- The west side greenway
- Union Square
- Manhattan/Brooklyn Bridges
Physically separated bike lanes might make me change my mind about bringing the family around by bike in the city.
