Door zone bike lanes are dangerous for cyclists.
I wonder if the city is moving towards parking restrictions - no wide vehicles allowed. Screws all the suburbanites with big trucks that streetsblogers hate so much.
Funny, they put bike lanes, but the streets are horrible even for cars.. what a misery..
Several years ago a Manhattan city council member brought up the proposition that cars registered in NYC should pay a parking fee of $50 per annum and would be issued a sticker similar to the inspection/registration type that are attached to the windshield that would allow curbside parking.
Of course he said vehicle owners who resided in Manhattan would be exempt from the fee since they already experience parking hardships.
Commuters, visitors and the like from outside the city would be issued a parking "bill" in the form of a summons for not having a parking sticker.
I see our leftist anti borough council moving in the same direction.
This is just an excuse for the DOT to come back in a year and take away parking on one side of the street. Then they'll repaint that part of the street green. Then a year later they'll change their minds, and move the bike lane to the opposite side, and repaint...
Meanwhile, no potholes will be fixed.
What I'm describing above is exactly what has happened on Vernon Blvd from LIC to Astoria.
I eagerly await whatever they'll be doing next spring. Maybe they'll scrape the whole street to repave, and then have to repaint all those lines again.
Nah, there's no corruption here. Let's just keep throwing away taxpayer money every year on this bike nazi nonsense...
If having to be more careful when you are driving on Woodward Avenue is the worst thing in your life you are a lucky person!Look at how obesity rates have tripled in the last 20 years in the US.I drive and ride a bike on Woodward Avenue and I went to the community board meeting and recommended they put one there so that commuting from Ridgewood to Manhattan is more doable. I hope those of you who are complaining decide to take your bikes out of your garage and try the lanes next time you need to get somewhere north of Ridgewood so that your body gets healthier.Then maybe you won't have time to complain about how inconvenient the lanes are for driving.
Oh, look, a bike nut. These are truly special people. Yes, the problem here is obesity, not the fact that drawing the lane this narrow puts both bikers and drivers at risk. I suppose this genius wants a medal for attending a community board meeting and sharing an opinion.
re baba booey(sorry you set me up)
has a non obese bike rider,I find these bike lanes unnecessary,and these pictures just prove that the city is exploiting supposed green concerns by making things difficult for everyone.you park there,you get ticketed,you ride to avoid getting doored and go outside the lane,also potential to get ticketed.
I commented earlier that to make things safer for everyone,what people need to do is to conduct themselves better on the road and be aware of your surroundings.I rode up myrtle and metropolitan ave to manhattan thousands of times,and I rarely get run off the road or honked at,and those avenues have no bike lanes and aren't that wide.it's called tolerance,so put that in your diet.maybe it will offset your obliviousness and ignorance.
and if you think bike riders aren't obese think again...
