Levine Introduces Bill to Speed Up Installation of Signal Priority for Buses

This Week: DOT’s Revised Plans for 110th Street Bike Lanes
In June, DOT proposed painted bike lanes for 110th Street between Riverside Drive and Frederick Douglass Circle, at the northwest corner of Central Park.

On Tuesday, DOT will come back to CB 7 with its revised design. If you want 110th Street to be safe for New Yorkers of all abilities to bike on, it's important to show up.
