Dozens of miles of New York City streets will be redesigned by year’s end to improve safety for cyclists and speed up commutes for bus riders, Mayor de Blasio announced Tuesday.
Hizzoner said the city is on pace to install 30 new miles of protected bike lanes and five new “busways” — or streets where passenger car traffic is restricted — before he leaves office at the end of the year. If crews finish the work, it’ll mark the quickest expansion of bus and bike lanes during a calendar year in the city’s history.
