About time we are seeing more bike lanes. Only wish there could be more enforcement for those who ignore the lanes and double park, and use it as a vehicle lane.
There needs to be more tickets written to those who double park.
The DOT should use some better paint. The paint used in 2007 in Greenpoint is a joke. A month after they painted it, the street were filled with “decapitated” and “unicycle” symbols.
