Riding a bike to work is one of the most powerful acts a New Yorker can take for the environment. Unfortunately, most commercial buildings in New York City do not permit bicycles inside, impeding tens of thousands of would-be bike commuters.

On May 29th Manhattan Community Board 5 unanimously approved a DOT proposal to remove two travel lanes and create a seven-foot wide cycle-track accompanied by pedestrian amenities that encourage sitting and people-watching along Broadway from 42nd Street to 35th Street.

These formerly unremarkable seven blocks will now connect Times Square to Herald Square, and with a bit more work they could connect all the way to the redesigned Madison Square Park and create one of Manhattan's finest public spaces.

With the wounds of congestion pricing just starting to heal, Albany again attacked New York City's mass transit riding majority by sinking a bill aimed at improving bus commutes for hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers. The legislation, which would have created a bus lane enforcement camera demonstration program along the city's new Select Bus Service routes, was killed in committee by long-time enforcement camera obstructionist Assembly Member David Gantt (D- Rochester).
