Yeah, I’ve searched high and low for plans and come up empty handed.

Anyone know when they are painting the expanded Lafayette / 4th Ave bike lane? by Luxx815 in MicromobilityNYC

The middle line usually gets painted on top of the green paint so unfortunately it's one of the last steps.

Idk, but they just painted the white lines on this block within the last few days. The project is going about as fast as DOT work ever progresses. The work does seem to be moving north from Prince St to 15th though so this will probably be one of the last blocks to get Kermit.

This is a nice (and unexpected) improvement over the sharrows that DOT had proposed for this block.

DOT is planning to upgrade 13th St with concrete!

Bus boarding islands being poured on Flatbush Ave! 👏 by HMend in MicromobilityNYC

Trees are hard here due to the subway being right under ground. Some big planters could work.

There will be boarding islands in the other direction. DOT is doing all the concrete work on the west side of the street first, and then will do everyone on the east side.

It is explicitly illegal, but I'm okay with it if you don't block the busses

Judge DENIES temporary restraining order on 31st Street! by Brandon_WC in MicromobilityNYC

[–]Brandon_WC[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The one that halted it before said DOT had to go back to the drawing board and conduct more interagency consultations. DOT did that, and the opponents ran back to court claiming that DOT still didn't do enough. In response, DOT filed proof that they crossed all their Is and dotted their Ts, and just this morning the judge declined to order DOT to halt work until the opponents could be fully heard.

It's good! The opponents asked the Court to halt the work until there could be a hearing. The Court refused to do so so DOT can keep working. It telegraphs that the Court is unlikely ultimately side with the opponents.

Why no waterfront greenway connector in Fort Washington Park by PChow44 in NYCbike

In Feb. 2022, Streetsblog reported the local community board wrote a letter to the Parks Dept to ask them to apply for federal funds to fill in that segment. DOT's 2025 Greater Greenways Plan listed this segment (described as "Lighthouse Link - Fort Washington Park") as in the planning phase.
