"Broadway south of 14th Street, it's just a painted lane [to Houston Street], and those things are not very effective. It's sort of no man's land from 14th Street all the way to Spring Street."
"Liff called the plan a 'game changer' and thinks it'll be 'hugely popular.' The redesign goes further than CB2 sought when it passed a resolution in April 2025 in support of expanding the two-way bike lane on Lafayette Street from Prince Street to Astor Place."
The city plans to convert an existing northbound protected bike lane into a two-way cycle track, enhancing the bike network between the Brooklyn Bridge and the Flatiron District. This change addresses the lack of a southbound protected bike lane south of Union Square, which has forced cyclists to navigate dangerous areas. The redesign includes widening the Lafayette Street bike lane, adding new lanes on Astor Place, and improving pedestrian spaces, making it a significant improvement for downtown cyclists.
