New York City won’t truly be safe for both pedestrians and cyclists until we abolish the outdated Stipulated Fine Program, a Queens lawmaker argues in a powerful op-ed.
One hundred miles of protected bike lanes in two years. No cars on some key routes for cyclists. Less engagement with community boards. And no more delays in life-saving road redesigns "for non-transportation-related political reasons." It's a start.
A new proposal aims to reduce congestion-causing deliveries, but objectively speaking, it won't change much on New York's chaotic streets unless the city stops giving so much free parking to car owners.
