"I particularly support the 72nd Street transverse ... you can't get across the park, I think it would take pressure off [the Central Park Drive and] also even more people would use bicycles when they know they can get from one part of Manhattan to another."
"The agency is 'very interested' in more cross-town connections and wants to work 'with the community on proposals for the transverses.'"
"Giving cyclists safe passage through - or, more accurately, under - the park is a key ask of both cyclist advocates as well as people who want the park drives to be calmer places."
Upper West City Council Member Gale Brewer advocates for a protected bike lane on the 72nd Street Transverse in Central Park. This initiative aims to alleviate bike traffic on indirect paths and promote cycling by improving safety and convenience. The Department of Transportation is interested in developing more cross-town connections. The Central Park Drive serves as a crucial route for cyclists, pedestrians, and commuters, highlighting the need for safer infrastructure in Upper Manhattan.
