"The New L" aims to take advantage of DOT's timid approach to transit priority on the Williamsburg Bridge to offer "luxury shuttles driven by professional chauffeurs."
At last, New York City cyclists know they count. DOT crews installed this sleek bike counter display on the Manhattan side of the Manhattan Bridge this morning. The bike counters are a very public way to convey the volume of cycling activity, which can be hard for some people to appreciate because bikes take up so much less space than cars.
After years of limited public access, the Park Row project will improve north-south bike trips under the Brooklyn Bridge, and will link the bridge and Chinatown.
