Excellent idea, and long overdue. Time to separate mopeds, electric bikes and scooters from recreational bikers that use the Hudson River Park path. Multi-modal street design makes so much sense in a packed city of millions. The NYC congestion tax should be 10x the current proposal; driving (and parking) in a dense, transit-rich city is a privilege, not a right. Northern European cities are decades ahead of us, and are definitely not suffering economically for it. — Reader on Reade on Borough president has a plan for highway bike lanes

They are banned. Very hard to enforce. — Tribeca Citizen on Borough president has a plan for highway bike lanes

I'm in favor of anything to tame and reduce cars on West Street. I definitely favor this, even though I'm not a biker. The pathway is absolutely slammed at peak hours, even if it's not packed 24/7. It's literally the most heavily used bike lane in the country. — malcolm on Borough president has a plan for highway bike lanes

Any plan that talks about adding bike lanes to the West Side Highway should be paired with a plan that expands Hudson River Park into the existing bike lane. The park is far more overcrowded than the bike lanes. — person on Borough president has a plan for highway bike lanes

This is great news! The existing lane is great but far too narrow for the existing volume of cyclists and runners/walkers. Segregating these groups will make it better for everyone. — Ben on Borough president has a plan for highway bike lanes

The more congestion they create with these bike lanes, bike parking, etc. the more ammunition for congestion pricing. Create the problem then charge $15 when the car makes a turn off of the west side highway. Note the area covered for the suggested bike lanes on the west side highway. — TribecaMom on Borough president has a plan for highway bike lanes

really? congestion in the already existing bike lane along Hudson River Park? I see the bike lanes from my living room, never congested. carving out a lane on the westside highway with traffic already a nightmare is one of the dumbest ideas even for a NYC progressive BP. obviously in the pocket of Trans Alt since He keeps pushing it. What is the endgame here?, We have unused bike lanes, congestion pricing, take the subway you say? look at the cesspool that has become. Gunshots in a subway car yesterday. I don't recognize this once wonderful city anymore — S on Borough president has a plan for highway bike lanes

Start with banning all the mopeds and e-bikes from the path. It’s already too much like riding in a lane of traffic on the W Side Hwy — Chris Murphey on Borough president has a plan for highway bike lanes

Bike Congestion? Seems to me the right solution would be Congestion Pricing for bikes. Bicyclists can walk, bus, subway Wondering why the MBP does not care about subway and bus riders? Subways are in crisis. Buses are packed. — Lisa O on Borough president has a plan for highway bike lanes

No. No more money or resources for bicycles. Bicyclists - especially Citibike and spandex - who proactively endanger pedestrians, ignore red lights, go the wrong way, curse any pedestrian who objects. All City and State funding needs to go to essential MTA bus and subway — Subway on Borough president has a plan for highway bike lanes

The mayor needs to be impeached Tonight a man was shot in the head on the subway - it is beyond ridiculous Maybe if elected officials could concentrate on crime rather than concentrating on a former president the city would be livable again — Sam on Hector’s Jewelry robbed at gunpoint; another robbery on Church

I asked the manager? Owner? At Belle Reve recently if he was taking down the shed, he said ‘ It’s not until November! Don’t worry!’ Who’s worried? I don’t believe they are doing it until I see it! — R. on Old dining sheds should come down this summer

Here’s a very cheap, easy, fast way to add a new public park downtown: unlock those gates. There are actually already “litter receptacles” in place! Occasionally a group of skateboarders do this on Sunday afternoons, so it must be possible. Or - tear up the earth, mine and transport materials, damage nearby buildings and utilities, shutdown Thomas and Worth for another couple years, etc etc. For 79 apartments and a small shady alley city folk call a “park”? Probably more bang for your buck in say, Elizabeth St Garden… — Dave on New towers coming to Thomas and Worth streets?

Additionally, Christ Marte got his handful. There is a proposed shelter coming to 105 Washington St, just a mere 3 minutes walk from PS 150 in FiDi. Similar to the story about another proposed shelter near Spruce Street School. https://newyorkyimby.com/2023/06/renovation-work-progresses-at-105-washington-street-in-financial-district-manhattan.html — ChibecaMom on Demolition on White Street jail damages neighboring building

These city contracts need to be looked at and reviewed with critical eyes. 20% of city contracts are MWBE (minority women business enterprises). There should to be bench marks stated in the contract on how the demolition is progressing per health and safety standards. I think the onus is on the city agencies to monitor. With this current mayoral administration, I wouldn't be surprised if folks are getting kick backs from such contracts for political favors and turned a blind eye. The vendor for this jail demolition is the Gramercy Group. You can search how much they get paid by the City of New York here: https://www.checkbooknyc.com/ — ChibecaMom on Demolition on White Street jail damages neighboring building

It should be required for builders to put up people in surrounding buildings in hotels away but near by. There same should go for people that do elaborate and lengthy renovations in buildings already fully occupied, for frivilous reasons and make life hell for others. — R. on Demolition on White Street jail damages neighboring building
