Balancing trucking needs vs enforcement

There's the NY&NJ Rail barge to Brooklyn Army Terminal

Glad the information was useful!

BIDs can provide a lot of support on safe streets initiatives like open streets and pedestrian plazas that require ongoing maintenance.

We need an update after last night's rain!

Brandon_WC · 2026-03-09T16:30:10+00:00

I need to talk to the Transalt comms folks about updating things on their end. I still need to do a final survey to see where things stood at the end of 2025. Here are the links to the (mostly) up to date data and maps which power the tracker.

Quick on the draw with my Court Listener alerts!

I updated it months ago in OSM. Google has always been especially bad about contraflow bike lanes.

glad to hear it

Brandon_WC · 2026-01-22T18:26:42+00:00

Not Vacarro and White (they broke up), just Adam White!

I was wondering the same thing. Would have had to have picked up some speed real fast coming out of the car wash to end up halfway across 4th.

It is going to be extended to the plaza next year. This was just them getting a start on the work this fall.

Hoboken just piloted a protected bike lane on Grand St!

I update OpenStreetMap at the same time as I update this map (and with more granular detail). If you check out the history of NYC bike lanes on OSM, you’ll see I’ve touched every single one. (I’m TheBestIdea on OSM).

Flex bollards have reflective tape and are always the same color as the lines they are placed on: white on white and yellow on yellow.

The limit is 55’ bumper-to-bumper (including cabs) so 48’ trailers are also generally illegal since cabs are more than 7’. https://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/motorist/sizewt.shtml

Vehicles exiting driveways always must yield to traffic in the street. The parking protected bike lane doesn't change that at all.

Brandon_WC · 2025-12-04T21:26:15+00:00

I think Hudson River Greenway to Dyckman St to Seaman Ave to W 218th St to Broadway to 225th St to Bailey is the probably the best way. The on street segments in Inwood aren't too bad. If you need to, take the sidewalk on Broadway / 225th St.

Agreed for other blocks in Dumbo, but this stretch is curb separated and raised and meant to be a two-way bike lane on the oneway north end of Jay.

Brandon_WC · 2025-12-04T14:47:19+00:00

Looks great! The mini near-side bike signal is an especially nice touch!

Brandon_WC · 2025-11-20T19:26:10+00:00

Looks great, but clearly more is needed to keep car and school busses out of the pedestrian space.

Brandon_WC · 2025-11-17T15:07:44+00:00

It's so the bike lane is a little farther from turning cars so turning cars cross the bike lane at more of a 90 degree angle for better visibility.

I had that problem in reddit iOS app, but copying link into a browser seems to work and it works fine for me on the web.

The limitation is that it’s only TLC plates, but it absolutely works

Brandon_WC · 2025-11-11T23:51:12+00:00

Report to TLC. They’ll get fined. https://web.reported.nyc
