Eyes on the Street: Inwoodites Enjoy Closed Street, Until Workers Go Home
At this moment I hear two things through my apartment windows: a singer practicing his scales and the "beep beep beep" of construction equipment on nearby Isham Street at Park Terrace West, in Inwood.

Eyes on the Street: A Walk Down Broadway Boulevard
After Summer Streets wrapped up last Saturday, I headed over to Times Square to check out the progress on DOT's "Broadway Boulevard" project. The new street geometry and surfacing are mostly in place, while plantings and furniture have yet to arrive. The bike lane was also fully functional, making this pedicab ride across 41st Street a lot more pleasant than it would have been a few months ago.

Eyes on the Street: 34th Street Runs Red With Paint
Streetsblog's Brad Aaron -- on vacation in exotic, uh, Midtown -- sends this pic of a newly-striped 34th Street bus lane, looking east from Eighth Avenue. Red lanes on each side of 34th are part of the first phase of improvements to what is intended to become the city's first "transitway." Another witness says the bus lane on the north side of the street hasn't been striped yet.
