Even before the protected bike lane was installed on Court Street, more people got there by bike than by car.

You're not imagining it: NYC's Citi Bike system costs more to ride than any other major bike-share system in the United States, Canada or Europe — despite astronomical geographic and ridership growth raking in more and more money for Lyft, which operates the program.

The NYC Streets Plan law requires the city to build 250 miles of protected bike lanes by 2026.
Here’s a suggestion for 4 miles of bike lanes that the next mayor will have to add to meet that goal.

Get you a mayor that gushes about grade-separated bike lanes when traveling the world!
I like these sidewalk-level bike lanes that also have separation from pedestrian space on the sidewalk with pretty materials like cobblestone and/or trees.

Keep an eye on your excellent 🚲 plan, Tirana
On Alba TV, host Klodiana Zylo says there are "rumors" Mayor Adams could become the next US ambassador to Albania (haven't seen this reported anywhere).
Adams, who went on an NYC taxpayer-funded trip to Albania this month, doesn't rule it out: "I'm not leaving any doors closed."

3. A minor thing, but why no advance notice? Local community boards send weekly (or more) emails about milling and paving streets, which are still usable when they're milled.
