The city's plan for 500 bike parking lockers, requested by advocates, is currently stalled. Despite Mayor Adams' endorsement of the initiative before his tenure, progress remains slow. Previous announcements showcased promising designs but failed to result in action. Stakeholders, including former Deputy Mayor Meera Joshi, argue that secure bike storage is critical for New York's density and commuting needs. Yet, the ongoing selection of contractors has caused frustration among insiders, raising concerns about the project's future under potential new leadership amidst upcoming budget negotiations.
I'm incredibly frustrated by this ... and can't seem to get a straight answer from DOT if it's a budget issue, procurement issue or what.
New York must be built for people, at the density our growing city requires. These storage lockers will create many more spaces for New Yorkers commuting needs on our limited roadway.
