On Thursday, DOT will reveal its plan for a protected bike lane on Fifth Avenue.

Fifth Avenue gets more bike traffic than any other southbound avenue in Manhattan, according to DOT bike counts, and New Yorkers have been asking the city to make it a complete street for years. DOT committed to studying a redesign in 2014, after community boards signaled support. Local City Council Member Dan Garodnick has also endorsed revamping the street.

The Manhattan CB 2 transportation committee will be first to see the bikeway plan. It’s important that DOT and the community board hear from people who support making Fifth Avenue safer for biking and walking.
