New York City has seen a surge in bicycling since the pandemic, with the Citibike program playing a crucial role in increasing bike usage, yet infrastructure remains dangerously inadequate.
Despite the NYC Streets Plan mandating 250 miles of protected bike lanes by 2026, the city has lagged significantly, completing only 2.3 miles so far in 2023.
By contrast, cities like Paris have successfully doubled bicycle trips due to extensive bike lane expansions, highlighting the need for New York to ramp up its investment in bike infrastructure.
The recent suspension of a new toll on vehicles in Manhattan could exacerbate congestion and traffic deaths, underscoring the urgency for better bike and bus infrastructure in NYC.
