Join us on May 16th for a family bike ride from Central Park West to Riverside Park to call for safety improvements along 72nd Street and show support for DOT’s proposal. You can register early on Mobilize https://www.mobilize.us/transalt/event/950560/

Families and all ages welcome!

The redesign
DOT’s redesign aims to make 72nd Street safer for everyone — pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and bus riders. By better organizing the roadway, shortening crossing distances, and creating dedicated space for bikes, the proposal would make the street more predictable, more accessible, and easier to cross.

 Mark your calendar: CB7 Full Board Meeting
The CB7 Full Board meeting will be a key moment for this proposal. We need to pack the room with supporters — please mark your calendar, come if you can, and help us show CB7 that there is strong community support for DOT’s safety redesign.

This is an article in the West Side Rag about cyclists and the irrational anger over the 72nd St Bike Lane DOT is putting in.

I know EVSA is allegedly trying to make e-bikes safer by licensing them but Western Europe is able to do that simply because of increased ridership. The saying safety in numbers seems to ring true for e-bikes.

The Mamdani administration will transform two crucial east-west roadways in Brooklyn to bike boulevards, the administration announced on Wednesday.

Bergen and Dean streets, which run parallel and provide access to and from the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges for thousands of daily cyclists will get the street safety treatment, amNY reported exclusively on Wednesday morning, just as Mayor Mamdani was scheduled to begin a ride with students on the Bergen Bike Bus. The administration later released the news widely.

Sign this petition saying you would support a 2-way protected bike lane going to and from Central Park and Hudson Path on the UWS. This is a lifeline for many of our working families living in and around the area.
