The markings on the former shared path are still the same, however, confusing people into taking the wrong side. And some of the entrances have few or no signs to make clear who should and who shouldn't use them. It's the latest wrinkle after decades of waiting to get a safe crossing for anyone not driving over the 116-year-old bridge - which includes more than 8,500 daily cyclists - after the Adams administration delayed the de Blasio-era project for years.

I've learned firsthand why cities like Lubbock need better cycling infrastructure now, not later. As cyclists, we all know the uneasy balance of sharing the road with vehicles that outweigh us by thousands of pounds. A bike lane isn't just a strip of paint - it's often the only physical space between us and potential tragedy. And after decades on two wheels, I can say this with certainty: bike lanes save lives.

The City of Toronto is launching a public awareness campaign with rhymes to reduce conflicts between cyclists, pedestrians, and cars in the city’s bike lanes.

The construction of a two-way protected bike lane on Grand Street in Alameda aims to improve bike access and safety, featuring new pavement and pedestrian facilities.

I was so looking forward to using this new bike lane to ride with my friends who only ride on protected areas, but after riding there yesterday, I would only take experienced riders through that slip turn.

Sarah Gayton, street access campaign coordinator at the National Federation of the Blind of the UK, emphasized the need for new solutions, stating it is time to "go back to the drawing board and get better solutions for blind, visually impaired people, all bus passengers and cyclists." This highlights the potential dangers faced by vulnerable road users at floating bus stops.

The proposal will reduce the roadway from six or seven lanes for car movement to three moving lanes, two parking lanes, a bus lane, and a bike lane.

The expansion of Cycleway 34 will provide better connectivity, encouraging cycling and supporting London's commitment to a greener, safer urban environment.

"We're going to double the sidewalk space, shorten the sidewalks, so that the avenue is safer to cross, green the avenue with more than 230 tree planters and adding new seating and better lighting."

The public consultation invites feedback from residents, businesses and the wider public on the proposed changes, which include new cycling routes and improved pedestrian spaces.

Instead of criminalizing them, a right-to-shelter proposal that guarantees shelter without a jail threat should be supported.
